12 to 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.)

Checking the rear brake lockThe rear brake lock must be checked at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart. 1. Adjust the rear brake lock cable.
2. Apply the rear brake lock, and then try to push the vehicle to confirm
that the rear brake lock functions
properly.
3. The rear brake lock caliper is pro- vided with a wear indicator, which
allows you to check the rear brake
lock pads. To check the rear brake
lock pads, check the position of the
indicator when the rear brake lock
lever is applied. If the indicator has
passed the wear indicator groove,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
rear brake lock.
4. Make sure that there are no tears or cracks on the rubber boot.

12 checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Each brake pad is
provided with a wear indicator, which
allows you to check the brake pad wear
without having to disassemble the
brake. To check the brake pad wear,
check the position of the wear indicator
while applying the brake. If a brake pad
has worn to the point that the wear indi-
cator almost touches the brake disc,
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake pads as a set.
EAU22582
Checking the brake fluid levelBefore riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark.
Check the brake fluid level with the top
of the reservoir level. Replenish the
brake fluid if necessary.
Front brake
Rear brake
WARNING
EWA15991
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of braking ability. Observe
these precautions:
Insufficient brake fluid may al-
low air to enter the brake sys-
tem, reducing braking
performance.

Clean the filler cap before re-
moving. Use only DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container.

Use only the specified brake flu-
id; otherwise, the rubber seals

may deteriorate, causing leak-
age.

Refill with the same type of
brake fluid. Adding a brake fluid
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.

Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vaporlock.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always cleanup spilled fluid immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake sys-
tem leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. If the brake
fluid level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause before
further riding.
EAU22733
Changing the brake fluidHave a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. In addition, have the oil seals
of the master cylinders and calipers as
well as the brake hoses replaced at the
intervals listed below or whenever they
are damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.

Brake hoses: Replace every four
years.
EAU51991
Drive belt slackThe drive belt slack should be checked
and adjusted by a Yamaha dealer at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
