sWARNING
●Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over
to one side), otherwise the sco-
oter may skid or overturn.
●Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road cons-
truction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.
●Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.
●Ride slowly down a hill, as bra-
king downhill can be very diffi-
cult.
1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually
increasing the pressure.Front

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follo-
wing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
●Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
●Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
●Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or at railroad cros-
sings).

Engine break-in
There is never a more important
period in the life of your engine than
the period between 0 and 1000 km
(600 mi). For this reason, you should
read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themsel-
ves to the correct operating clearan-
ces. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAU17213
Parking
When parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
EWA10311
sWARNING
●Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedes-
trians or children are not likely
to touch them and be burned.
●Do not park on a slope or on
soft ground, otherwise the
vehicle may overturn, increa-
sing the risk of a fuel leak and
fire.
●Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch fire.

Periodic inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most efficient condi-
tion possible. Safety is an obligation
of the vehicle owner/operator. The
most important points of vehicle ins-
pection, adjustment, and lubrication
are explained on the following pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart
should be simply considered as a
general guide under normal riding
conditions. However, depending on
the weather, terrain, geographical
location, and individual use, the main-
tenance intervals may need to be
shortened.
EWA10321
sWARNING
Failure to properly maintain the
vehicle or performing maintenance
activities incorrectly may increase
your risk of injury or death during
service or while using the vehicle. If
you are not familiar with vehicle
service, have a Yamaha dealer per-
form service.
EWA15121
sWARNING
Turn off the engine when perfor-
ming maintenance unless otherwi-
se specified.
●A running engine has moving
parts that can catch on body
parts or clothing and electrical
parts that can cause shocks or
fires.
●Running the engine while servi-
cing can lead to eye injury,
burns, fire, or carbon monoxide
poisoning – possibly leading to
death. See page 1-1 for more
information about carbon
monoxide.

Coolant (CS50Z)
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAUM2102
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
TIP
●The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
●Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level through
the check window.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Coolant level check window
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
cowling A. (See page 6-5).
4. Open the reservoir cap, and then
add coolant to the maximum
level mark. WARNING! Remove
only the coolant reservoir cap.

water or soft tap water instead.
Do not use hard water or salt
water since it is harmful to the
engine. If water has been used
instead of coolant, replace it
with coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the cooling sys-
tem will not be protected
against frost and corrosion. If
water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.
