”
Oil change indicator lightThis indicator light comes on at the
initial 1,000 km, then at 5,000 km and
every 5,000 km thereafter to indicate
that the engine oil should be
changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset
the oil change indicator light. (See
page 6-15 for the resetting proce-
dure.)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
change to be indicated at the correct
time. (See page 6-15 for the resetting
procedure.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked according to the
following procedure.
1. Set the engine stop switch to “#”
and turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes
on for a few seconds and then
goes off.
3. If the indicator light does not
come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
NOTE:
The oil change indicator light may
flash when the engine is revved with
the scooter on the centerstand, but
this does not indicate a malfunction.

Fuel gaugeFuel gaugeThe fuel gauge indicates the amount
of fuel in the fuel tank. The needle
moves towards “E” (Empty) as the
fuel level decreases. When the nee-

cCUse only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
severe damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and pis-
ton rings, as well as to the exhaust
system.
Your Yamaha engine has been
designed to use regular unleaded
gasoline with a research octane num-
ber of 91 or higher. If knocking (or
pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of a
different brand or premium unleaded
fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce mainte-
nance costs.

wThe scooter must not be ridden
with the sidestand down, or if the
sidestand cannot be properly
moved up (or does not stay up),
otherwise the sidestand could con-
tact the ground and distract the
operator, resulting in a possible
loss of control. Yamaha’s ignition
circuit cut-off system has been
designed to assist the operator in
fulfilling the responsibility of rais-
ing 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 properly.
EAU00337
Ignition circuit cut-off
systemIgnition circuit cut-off systemThe ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch and
brake light switches) has the follow-
ing functions.
8It prevents starting when the
sidestand is up, but neither brake
is applied.
8It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the side-
stand is still down.
8It 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.

wIf a malfunction is noted, have a
Yamaha dealer check the system
before riding.
