SAFETY INFORMATION

Aftermarket Parts, Accessories,
and Modifications
While you may find aftermarket pro-
ducts similar in design and quality to
genuine Yamaha accessories, recog-
nize that some aftermarket accesso-
ries or modifications are not suitable
because of potential safety hazards to
you or others. Installing aftermarket
products or having other modifica-
tions performed to your vehicle that
change any of the vehicle’s design or
operation characteristics can put you
and others at greater risk of serious
injury or death. You are responsible
for injuries related to changes in the
vehicle.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under “Loa-
ding” when mounting accessories.
●Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the per-
formance of your scooter. Care-
fully inspect the accessory befo-
re using it to make sure that it
does not in any way reduce
ground clearance or cornering
clearance, limit suspension tra-vel, steering travel or control ope-
ration, or obscure lights or reflec-
tors.
• Accessories fitted to the hand-
lebar or the front fork area can
create instability due to impro-
per weight distribution or
aerodynamic changes. If
accessories are added to the
handlebar or front fork area,
they must be as lightweight as
possible and should be kept to
a minimum.
• Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability of
the scooter due to aerodyna-
mic effects. Wind may attempt
to lift the scooter, or the scoo-
ter may become unstable in
cross winds. These accesso-
ries may also cause instability
when passing or being passed
by large vehicles.
• Certain accessories can dis-
place the operator from his or
her normal riding position. This
improper position limits the fre-
edom of movement of the ope-rator and may limit control abi-
lity, therefore, such accesso-
ries are not recommended.
●Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical
accessories exceed the capacity
of the scooter’s electrical system,
an electric failure could result,
which could cause a dangerous
loss of lights or engine power.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
scooter were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to pro-
vide the best combination of hand-
ling, braking, and comfort. Other tires,
rims, sizes, and combinations may
not be appropriate. Refer to page
6-16 for tire specifications and more
information on replacing your tires.

WARNING
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline
in the tank.

WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engi-
ne and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the
vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank
filler hole. Stop filling when the
fuel reaches the bottom of the
filler tube. Because fuel expands
when it heats up, heat from the
engine or the sun can cause fuel
to spill out of the fuel tank.
1. Fuel tank filler tube
2. Fuel level
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel imme-
diately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spilled fuel with a cle-
an, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.

4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.

WARNING
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the sides-
tand cannot be properly moved up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
sidestand could contact the ground
and distract the operator, resulting
in a possible loss of control. Yama-
ha’s ignition circuit cut-off system
has been designed to assist the
operator in fulfilling the responsibi-
lity of raising the sidestand before
starting off. Therefore, check this
system regularly as described
below and have a Yamaha dealer
repair it if it does not function pro-
perly.
EAU15362
Ignition circuit cut-off
system
The ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch and
brake light switches) has the following
functions.
●It prevents starting when the
sidestand is up, but neither brake
is applied.
●It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the sides-
tand is still down.
●It cuts the running engine when
the sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system
according to the following procedure.
TIP
This check is most reliable if perfor-
med with a warmed-up engine.

WARNING
●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

EAU16820
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).
