PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
NOTE :
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the scooter is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very
short time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.
EWA00033
If any item in the Pre-operation check list is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating
the scooter.
4-2 • Check for damage.
Wheels and Tires• Check tire condition and tread depth.
6-9 — 6-11
• Check air pressure.
• Correct if necessary.
Brake levers• Make sure that operation is smooth.
3-4 — 3-5
• Lubricate lever pivoting points if necessary.
Centerstand• Make sure that operation is smooth.
6-15
• Lubricate pivot if necessary.
Chassis-fasteners• Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are properly tightened.
—
• Tighten if necessary.
Instruments, lights• Check operation.
3-1 — 3-4, 6-20 — 6-21
signals and switches• Correct if necessary.
Battery• Check fluid level.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU01118
EW000129
•Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or
function that you do not
thoroughly understand.
•Never start the engine or
operate it in a closed area for
any length of time. Exhaust fu-
mes are poisonous, and
inhaling them can cause loss of
consciousness and death
within a short time. Always
make sure that there is
adequate ventilation.
•For safety, always start the
engine with the centerstand
down.

Starting the engine
1. Turn the key to “
*
”, then when
the oil level warning light comes
on, turn it to “
”.
EC000045
If the oil level warning light does not
come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
2. Turn the starter (choke) on and
completely close the throttle. (See
page 3-7 for starter (choke)
operation.)3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch or by pushing the
kickstarter lever down, while
applying the front or rear brake.
NOTE :
If the engine fails to start by pushing
the start switch, release the switch, wait
a few seconds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as short as
possible to preserve the battery. Do not
crank the engine more than 5 seconds
on any one attempt. If the engine does
not start with the starter motor, try using
the kickstarter.
4. After starting the engine, move the
starter (choke) knob/lever back
halfway.

Battery
A poorly maintained battery will corrode
and discharge quickly. The electrolyte
level, battery lead connections and
breather hose routing should be
checked before each ride and at the
intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart.

To check the electrolyte level
1. Place the scooter on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright po-
sition.
NOTE :
Make sure that the scooter is positioned
straight up when checking the
electrolyte level.
2. Remove panel A.
3. Check the electrolyte level in the
battery.
NOTE :
The electrolyte should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the electrolyte is at or below the
minimum level mark, add distilled
water to raise it to the maximum
level mark.
EW000116
•Electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous since it contains
sulfuric acid, which causes
severe burns. Avoid any contact
with skin, eyes or clothing and
always shield your eyes when
working near batteries. In case of
contact, administer the following
FIRST AID.
•EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty of
water.
•INTERNAL: Drink large
quantities of water or milk and
immediately call a physician.
•EYES: Flush with water for 15
minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.
•Batteries produce explosive
hydrogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and
provide sufficient ventilation
when charging it in an enclosed
space.
•KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTERIES
OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
EC000100
Use only distilled water, as tap water
contains minerals that are harmful
to the battery.
5. Check and, if necessary, tighten
the battery lead connections and
correct the breather hose routing.

To store the battery
1. If the scooter will not be used for
more than one month, remove the
battery, fully charge it, and then
place it in a cool, dry place.
2. If the battery will be stored for
more than two months, check the
specific gravity of the electrolyte
at least once a month and fully
charge the battery whenever
necessary.
3. Fully charge the battery before
installation.
4. After installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly
connected to the battery terminals
and that the breather hose is
properly routed, in good condition,
and not obstructed.
EC000099
If the breather hose is positioned in
such a way that the frame is exposed
to electrolyte or gas expelled from
the battery, the frame could suffer
structural and external damages.
EAU00809*
Replacing the fuse
The fuse holder is located beside the
battery compartment behind panel A.
If the fuse is blown, replace it as follows.
1. Turn the key to “
” and turn off
all electrical circuits.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and then
install a new fuse of the specified
amperage.
Specified fuse:
7 A
EC000103
Do not use a fuse of a higher
amperage rating than recommended
to avoid causing extensive damage
to the electrical system and possibly
a fire.
3. Turn the key to “
” and turn on
the electrical circuits to check if the
devices operate.
4. If the fuse immediately blows
again, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical system.
