SAFETY INFORMATION
1to solid parts of the scooter, such
as the frame or upper front fork tri-
ple clamp (and not, for example, to
rubber-mounted handlebars or
turn signals, or parts that could
break). Choose the location for the
straps carefully so the straps will
not rub against painted surfaces
during transport.

The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the
tie-downs, if possible, so that the
scooter will not bounce excessive-
ly during transport.
EAU57600
Further safe-riding points
Be sure to signal clearly when
making turns.

Braking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard braking,
because the scooter could slide.
Apply the brakes slowly when
stopping on a wet surface.

Slow down as you approach a cor-
ner or turn. Once you have com-
pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.

Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you
and open a door in your path.

Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,
iron plates on road construction
sites, and manhole covers be-
come extremely slippery when
wet. Slow down and cross them
with caution. Keep the scooter up-
right, otherwise it could slide out
from under you.

The brake pads or linings could get
wet when you wash the scooter.
After washing the scooter, check
the brakes before riding.

Always wear a helmet, gloves,
trousers (tapered around the cuff and ankle so they do not flap), and
a brightly colored jacket.

Do not carry too much luggage on
the scooter. An overloaded scoot-
er is unstable. Use a strong cord to
secure any luggage to the carrier
(if equipped). A loose load will af-
fect the stability of the scooter and
could divert your attention from the
road. (See page 1-3.)

working correctly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the self-diagno-
sis system.
The electrical circui
t of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,

light comes on when the key is turned
to “ON”, and goes off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher.
If the ABS warning light:

does not come on when the key is
turned to “ON”

comes on or flashes while riding

does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher
The ABS may not work correctly. If any
of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 3-15 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency
braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-
cal circuits as soon as possible.TIP
If the start switch is pushed while
the engine is running, the ABS
warning light will come on, but this
is not a malfunction.

The ABS warning light may come
on while accelerating the engine
with the scooter on its centerstand,
but this does not indicate a mal-function.
EAU38625
Immobilizer system indicator light
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the indicator light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24 hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits. (See page 3-11 for an explana-
tion of the self-diagnosis device.)

Rear brake lock leverThis vehicle is equipped with a rear
brake lock lever to prevent the rear
wheel from moving while stopped at
traffic signals, railroad crossings, etc.
To lock the rear wheel
Push the rear brake lock lever to the left
until it snaps into place.
To unlock the rear wheel
Push the rear brake lock lever back to
the original position.TIP
Be sure to check that the rear
wheel does not move when therear brake lock lever is applied.

To provide secure locking of the
rear wheel, apply the rear brake le-
ver first before moving the rearbrake lock lever to the left.WARNING
EWA12362
Never move the rear brake lock lever
to the left while the vehicle is mov-
ing, otherwise loss of control or an
accident may result. Make sure that
the vehicle is stopped before mov-
ing the rear brake lock lever to theleft.
EAU54001
ABS (for ABS models)The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not “pump” the
brakes as this will reduce braking effec-
tiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.

On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer withthe ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.

TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “clicking”
noise can be heard from the front
of the vehicle, and if either brake
lever is even slightly applied, a vi-
bration can be felt at the lever, but
these do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.

This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation at the brake levers when
the ABS is operating. However,
special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-er when performing this test.
NOTICE
ECA16121
Keep any type of magnets (including
magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic
screwdrivers, etc.) away from the
front and rear wheel hubs, otherwise
the magnetic rotors equipped in the
wheel hubs may be damaged, result- ing in improper performance of the
ABS system.
