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.)

14 traveling speed using the throttle. After
you have accelerated, you can set a
new cruising speed by pushing the
“SET–” side of the setting switch. If you
do not set a new cruising speed, when
you return the throttle grip, the vehicle
will decelerate to the previously set
cruising speed.
Deactivating the cruise control sys-
tem
Perform one of the following operations
to cancel the set cruising speed. The
“SET” indicator light will turn off.
Turn the throttle grip past the
closed position in the deceleration
direction.
Apply the front or rear brake.
TIP
Traveling speed decreases as soon as
the cruise control system is deactivat-
ed; unless the throttle grip is turned.
Using the resume function
Push the “RES+” side of the cruise con-
trol setting switch to reactivate the
cruise control system. The traveling
speed will return to the previously set
cruising speed. The “SET” indicator
light will come on.
WARNING
EWA16351
It is dangerous to use the resume
function when the previously set
cruising speed is too high for cur-
rent conditions.
Turning off the cruise control sys-
tem
Push the cruise control power switch
“ ” to turn off the cruise control sys-
tem. The “ ” indicator light and the
“SET” indicator light will turn off.
TIP
Whenever the cruise control system or
the vehicle power is turned off, the pre-
viously set cruisi
ng speed is erased.
You will not be able to use the resume
function until a new cruising speed has
been set.
Automatic deactivation of the cruise
control system
The cruise control system is electroni-
cally controlled and linked with other
control systems. The cruise control sys-
tem will automatically deactivate under
the following conditions:
The cruise control system is not
able to maintain the set cruising
speed (such as when going up a
steep hill).
Wheel slip or wheel spin is detect-
ed. (If the traction control system is
on, traction control will engage.)
Engine trouble, etc.
If the cruise control system is automati-
cally deactivated, the “ ” indicator
light will turn off and the “SET” indicator
light will flash for 4 seconds.
If the cruise control system was auto-

matically deactivated, please stop and
confirm that your vehicle is in good op-
erating condition before continuing on.
When traveling on roads with steep
grades, the cruise control system may
not be able to maintain the set cruising
speed.
When going uphill, the actual trav-
eling speed may become lower
than the set cruising speed. If this
occurs, accelerate to the desired
traveling speed using the throttle.
When going downhill, the actual
traveling speed may become high-
er than the set cruising speed. If
this occurs, the setting switch can-
not be used to adjust the set cruis-
ing speed. To reduce the traveling
speed, apply the brakes. When the
brakes are applied, the cruise con-
trol system will deactivate.

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.

er on its centerstand, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.
