Safety is an obligation of the owner.
Periodic inspection, adjustment and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most efficient condi-
tion possible. The most important
points of inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication are explained on the fol-
lowing 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 MAINTE-
NANCE INTERVALS MAY NEED TO
BE SHORTENED.

wIf you are not familiar with scooter
maintenance work, have a Yamaha
dealer do it for you.
EAU00466
wThis scooter is designed for use
on paved roads only. If this scoot-
er is operated in abnormally dusty,
muddy or wet conditions, the air
filter element should be cleaned or
replaced more frequently, other-
wise rapid engine wear may result.
Consult a Yamaha dealer for prop-
er maintenance intervals.

Owner’s tool kitTool kitThe owner’s tool kit is located under
the seat. (See page 3-11 for seat

The service information included in
this manual and the tools provided in
the owner’s tool kit are intended to
assist you in the performance of pre-
ventive maintenance and minor
repairs. However, additional tools
such as a torque wrench may be nec-
essary to perform certain mainte-
nance work correctly.

not use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING
II” or higher.
8Make sure that no foreign
material enters the crankcase.
