Engine oil
The engine oil level should be chec-
ked before each ride. In addition, the
oil must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart
and when the oil change indicator
display comes on.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the scooter on the centers-
tand.
NOTE:
Make sure that the scooter is positio-
ned straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt to the side can result
in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
1. Engine oil filler cap
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil
settles, remove the oil filler cap,
wipe the dipstick clean, insert it
back into the oil filler hole (wit-
hout screwing it in), and then
remove it again to check the oil
level.
1. Engine oil filler cap
2. Dipstick
3. Maximum level mark
4. Minimum level mark
NOTE:
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to rai-
se it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.

and replace it if necessary.
5. Install the washer and the engine
oil drain bolt, and then tighten the
drain bolt to the specified torque.
NOTE:
Make sure that the washer is properly
seated.
6. Add the specified amount of the
recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil
filler cap.
ECA11670

Do not use oils with a diesel
specification of “CD” or oils of
a higher quality than specified.
In addition, do not use oils
labeled “ENERGY CONSER-
VING II” or higher.
Be sure no foreign material
enters the crankcase.
7. Start the engine, and then let it
idle for several minutes while
checking it for oil leakage. If oil is
leaking, immediately turn the
engine off and check for the cau-
se.
8. Reset the oil change indicator
display according to the follo-
wing procedure.
To reset the oil change indicator
display
1. Push and hold the "TRIP" button
for a MAXIMUM of three
seconds. While pushing the
"TRIP" button, turn the key to
"f".

2. Release the "TRIP" button and
the oil change indicator light will
go off.
3. Turn the key to "e".
NOTE:
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator light comes on
(i.e. before the periodic oil change
interval has been reached), the indi-
cator light must be reset after the oil
change for the next periodic oil chan-
ge to be indicated at the correct time.
To reset the oil change indicator light
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached, follow the above
procedure, but note that the indicator
light will come on for 1.4 seconds
after releasing the reset button, other-
wise repeat the procedure.
EAU20061
Final transmission oil
The final transmission case must be
checked for oil leakage before each
ride. If any leakage is found, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the
scooter. In addition, the final trans-
mission oil must be changed as
follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
1. Start the engine, warm up the
final transmission oil by riding the
scooter for several minutes, and
then stop the engine.
2. Place the scooter on the centers-
tand.
3. Place an oil pan under the final
transmission case to collect the
used oil.
1. Final trasmission oil filler cap
1. Final transmission oil drain bolt
4. Remove the oil filler cap and

Coolant
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.
EAU20101
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on the centers-
tand.
NOTE:
The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the

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.
1. Maximum level mark
2. Minimum level mark
