14 hours or days in enclosed or poorly
ventilated areas. If you experience any
symptoms of carbon monoxide poison-
ing, leave the area immediately, get
fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-
MENT.
Do not run engine indoors. Even if
you try to ventilate engine exhaust
with fans or open windows and
doors, carbon monoxide can rap-
idly reach dangerous levels.
Do not run engine in poorly venti-
lated or partially enclosed areas
such as barns, garages, or car-
ports.
Do not run engine outdoors where
engine exhaust can be drawn into
a building through openings such
as windows and doors.
Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution of
the scooter is changed. To avoid the
possibility of an accident, use extreme
caution when adding cargo or accesso-
ries to your scooter. Use extra care
when riding a scooter that has added
cargo or accessories. Here, along with
the information about accessories be-
low, are some general guidelines to fol-
low if loading cargo to your scooter:
The total weight of the operator, pas-
senger, accessories and cargo must
not exceed the maximum load limit.
Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident. When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close to
the scooter as possible. Securely
pack your heaviest items as close
to the center of the vehicle as pos-
sible and make sure to distribute
the weight as evenly as possible
on both sides of the scooter to min-
imize imbalance or instability.
Shifting weights can create a sud-
den imbalance. Make sure that ac-
cessories and cargo are securely
attached to the scooter before rid-
ing. Check accessory mounts and
cargo restraints frequently.
Properly adjust the suspension for your load (suspension-ad-
justable models only), and
check the condition and pres-
sure of your tires.
Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebar, front
fork, or front fender. Such items
can create unstable handling or
a slow steering response.
This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached to
a sidecar.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your vehicle
is an important decision. Genuine
Yamaha accessories, which are avail-
able only from a Yamaha dealer, have
been designed, tested, and approved
by Yamaha for use on your vehicle.
Many companies with no connection to
Yamaha manufacture parts and acces-
sories or offer other modifications for
Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a
Maximum load: 199 kg (439 lb) (XP530D-A)

14 Transporting the Scooter
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the scooter in
another vehicle.Remove all loose items from the
scooter.
Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.
Secure the scooter with tie-downs
or suitable straps that are attached
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.)

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
This model’s ABS features a dual elec-
tronic control 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 with
the 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 the
ABS will result.

Fuel
Make 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, follow
these 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 vicin-
ity 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.
EAU79080
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.

TIP
The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always comply
with the local regulations.
WARNING
EWA10472
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the vehi-
cle with excessively worn tires
decreases riding stability and
can lead to loss of control.
The replacement of all wheel
and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
edge and experience to do so.
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be “broken
in” for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.
Tire information
This model is equipped with tubeless
tires and tire air valves.
Tires age, even if they have not been
used or have only been used occasion-
ally. Cracking of the tread and sidewall
rubber, sometimes accompanied by
carcass deformation, is an evidence of
ageing. Old and aged tires shall be
checked by tire specialists to ascertain
their suitability for further use.
WARNING
EWA16101
The front and rear tires should
be of the same make and de-
sign, otherwise the handling
characteristics of the vehicle
may be different, which could
lead to an accident.
Always make sure that the valve
caps are securely installed to
prevent air pressure leakage.
Use only the tire valves and
valve cores listed below to
avoid tire deflation during a ride.
