EAU15596
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always follow the inspection
and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWA11151
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage.
Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures provided in
this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
FuelCheck fuel level in fuel tank.
Refuel if necessary.
Check fuel line for leakage.3-7
Engine oilCheck oil level in engine.
If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
Check vehicle for oil leakage.6-9
Final transmission oilCheck vehicle for oil leakage. 6-11
Front brakeCheck operation.
If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
Check brake pads for wear.
Replace if necessary.
Check fluid level in reservoir.
If necessary, add recommended brake fluid to specified level.
Check hydraulic system for leakage. 6-18, 6-19
Rear brakeCheck operation.
Lubricate cable if necessary.
Check lever free play.
Adjust if necessary. 6-17, 6-18

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
5-4

EAU16830
Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU45581
0–150 km (0–90 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
150–500 km (90–300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
500–1000 km (300–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4
throttle. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, be sure to changethe engine oil and final transmission
oil, and to clean the oil strainer.
[ECA16501]1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.NOTICE
ECA10270
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
EAU17213
Parking When parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
WARNING
EWA10311


Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them and be burned.


Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasing the
risk of a fuel leak and fire.


Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch fire.

check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
9. Reset the oil change indicator.
(See page 3-2 for reset proce-
dures.)
TIPIf the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator color changes from
green to red (i.e. before the periodic oil
change interval has been reached), the
oil change indicator must be reset after
the oil change for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the correct
time.
EAU20065
Final transmission oil The final transmission case must be
checked for oil leakage before each
ride. If any leakage is found, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the
scooter. In addition, the final transmis-
sion oil must be changed as follows at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
1. Start the engine, warm up the final
transmission oil by riding the
scooter for several minutes, and
then stop the engine.
2. Place the scooter on the center-
stand.
3. Place an oil pan under the final
transmission case to collect the
used oil.
4. Remove the final transmission oil
filler cap and its O-ring from the fi-
nal transmission case.
5. Remove the final transmission oil
drain bolt and its gasket to drain
the oil from the final transmission
case.6. Install the final transmission oil
drain bolt and its new gasket, and
then tighten the bolt to the speci-
fied torque.

Air filter and V-belt case air fil-
ter elements The air filter element should be re-
placed and the V-belt case air filter ele-
ment should be cleaned at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. Service the air fil-
ter elements more frequently if you are
riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
The air filter check hoses must be fre-
quently checked and cleaned if neces-
sary.
Replacing the air filter element
1. Place the scooter on the center-
stand.
2. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.3. Pull the air filter element out.
4. Insert a new air filter element into
the air filter case. NOTICE: Make
sure that the air filter element is
properly seated in the air filter
case. The engine should never
