Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
•an odometer (which shows the
total distance traveled)
•two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero, the time passed
since the tripmeters were set to
zero, and the average speed
traveled during this time)
•a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)
•a clock
•an ambient temperature display
•an oil change indicator (which
comes on when the engine oil
should be changed)
NOTE :
•For the UK, the distance traveled
is displayed in miles and the
temperature reading is displayed
in °F.
•For other countries, the distance
traveled is displayed in kilometers
and the temperature reading is
displayed in °C.Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the "MODE" button switches
the display between the odometer
mode "Total" and the tripmeter modes
"Trip" in the following order:
Total ⇒ Trip 1 ⇒ Trip 2 ⇒Trip/fuel
⇒ Total

Oil change indicator "OIL"
The engine oil should be changed when
this indicator comes on. The indicator
stays on until it is reset. After changing
the engine oil, reset the indicator as
follows.
1. While holding the "MODE" and
"SET" buttons pushed, turn the
key to "
".
2. Continue holding the "MODE" and
"SET" buttons pushed for two to
five seconds.
3. Release the buttons and the oil
change indicator will go off.
NOTE :
•The oil change indicator will come
on at the initial 1000 km (600 mi)
and every 3000 km (4800 mi)
thereafter.
•If the engine oil is changed before
the oil change indicator comes on
(i.e. before the periodic oil change
interval has been reached), the
indicator must be reset after the
oil change for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the cor-
rect time. After resetting, the
indicator will come on for two se-
conds. If the indicator does not
come on, repeat the procedure.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
4The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,
even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or
loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual
inspection, to check the following points before each ride.
EAU03439
Pre-operation check list
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
•Check fuel level in fuel tank.
Fuel•Refuel if necessary. 3-3 — 3-4, 3-10 — 3-11
•Check fuel line for leakage.
•Check oil level in engine.
Engine oil•If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level. 6-13 — 6-15
•Check vehicle for oil leakage.
Final transmission oil•Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-16
•Check coolant level in reservoir.
Coolant•If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level. 6-17
•Check cooling system for leakage.
•Check operation.
•If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
Front brake•Check fluid level in reservoir. 3-9, 6-23 — 6-25
•If necessary, add recommended brake fluid to specified level.
•Check hydraulic system for leakage.
•Check operation.
•If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU04755
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
•Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
•Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
•Turn the engine off instead of
letting it idle for an extended
length of time (e.g., in traffic jams,
at traffic lights or at railroad
crossings).
EAU01128
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1,600 km. For this
reason, you should read the following
material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1,600 km. The various parts in the
engine wear and polish themselves to
the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-
throttle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating must
be avoided.
EAU03845*
0 — 1,000 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
1,000 — 1,600 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
ECA00138
After 1,000 km of operation, be sure
to replace the engine oil and final
transmission oil.
1,600 km and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated
normally.
EC000049
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

6Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
17.5 Nm (1.75 m
•kg)
NOTE :
If a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4 – 1/2 turn
past finger tight. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to the
specified torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Install the cowling.

Engine oil
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart and when the oil
change indicator comes on.To check the engine oil level
1. Place the scooter on the
centerstand.
NOTE :
Make sure that the scooter is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt to the side can result in a
false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.

3. Wait a few minutes until the oil
settles, remove the oil filler cap,
wipe the dipstick clean, insert it
back into the oil filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove
it again to check the oil level.
NOTE :
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and the engine oil drain bolt to
drain the oil from the crankcase.
