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 is
turned on and travels at a speed of
10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher. During
this test, a clicking noise can be
heard and if either brake lever is
even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.

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.
NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of theABS will result.

FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, followthese instructions. 1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity 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. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU49742
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different brand
or premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-

TIP
Some helmets cannot be stored in
the rear storage compartment be-
cause of their size or shape.

Do not leave your scooter unat-
tended with the seat open.

The interior of the rear storage
compartment lies outside the oper-
ating range of the smart key. If the
rear storage compartment is
locked with the smart key inside,
the smart key system may be dis-
abled. The smart key must be car-
ried by the rider.

Do not place the smart key, me-
chanical key, or identification num- ber tag inside the rear storage
compartment. They may get
locked inside and the smart key
system may not operate normally.
NOTICE
ECA15963

Do not leave the seat open for
an extended period of time, oth-
erwise the light may cause the
battery to discharge.

Since the storage compartment
may get wet while the scooter is
being washed, wrap any articles
stored in the compartment in a
plastic bag.

To avoid humidity from spread-
ing through the storage com-
partment and to discourage
possible mold growth, wrap wet
articles in a plastic bag before
storing them in the compart-
ment.

Do not keep anything valuable
or breakable in the storage com-
partment.

Since the storage compartment
accumulates heat from the en-
gine and from direct sunlight,
do not store anything suscepti-
ble to heat, such as food or
flammable items, inside the
compartment.WARNING

Ignition circuit cut-off systemThe ignition circuit cut-off system (com-
prising the sidestand switch and brake
light switches) has the following func-
tions.
It prevents starting when the side-
stand is up, but neither brake is ap-
plied.

It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the sidestand
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.
