EAU13222
FuelMake 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, followthese 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 vi-
cinity 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 in1. Fuel tank filler tube

Operation and important riding points
EAU15952
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If
there is a control or function you do not
understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
EWA10272
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which could cause an accidentor injury.
EAU45311
TIPThis model is equipped with a lean an-
gle sensor to stop the engine in case of
a turnover. To start the engine after a
turnover, be sure to turn the main
switch to “OFF” and then to “ON”. Fail-
ing to do so will prevent the engine from
starting even though the engine willcrank when pushing the start switch.
EAUT3682
Starting the engineNOTICE
ECA10251
See page 5-3 for engine break-in in-
structions prior to operating the ve-hicle for the first time. 1. Turn the key to “ON”. The engine trouble warning light
and coolant temperature warning
light should come on for a few sec-
onds, then go off. NOTICE: If a
warning light does not go off,
have a Yamaha dealer check its
electrical circuit.
[ECAT1171]
2. Close the throttle completely.
3. Start the engine by pushing the start switch while applying the front
or rear brake. NOTICE: For maxi-
mum engine life, never acceler-
ate hard when the engine is
cold!
[ECAT1310]
If the engine does not start, re-
lease the start switch, wait a few
seconds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as short
as possible to preserve the bat-
tery. Do not crank the engine more

Braking
WARNING
EWA10301

Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the scooter
may skid or overturn.

Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.

Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.

Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-cult.
1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.
EAU16821
Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionFuel 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 let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16831
Engine break-inThere 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.
EAUT3541
0–150 km (0–90 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
After every hour of operation, stop the
engine, and then let it cool for five to ten
minutes.
Vary the engine speed from time to
time. Do not operate the engine at one
set throttle position.

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.
7. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended final transmis-
sion oil. WARNING! Make sure
that no foreign material enters
the final transmission case.
Make sure that no oil gets on the
tire or wheel.
[EWA11312]
8. Install the final tr ansmission oil fill-
er cap and its new O-ring, and then
tighten the oil filler cap.
9. Check the final transmission case for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.
EAU20071
CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAUT3693
To check the coolant level
The coolant level should be checked as
follows before each ride. In addition,
the coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.TIP
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.

Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to theside can result in a false reading.
2. Open the seat. (See page 3-11.)
3. Check the coolant level in the cool- ant reservoir.

Replacing the fusesThe fuse box is located beside the bat-
tery compartment under panel A. (See
page 6-8.)
If a fuse is blown, replace it as follows. 1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off the electrical circuit in question.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and then install a new fuse of the specified
amperage. WARNING! Do not
use a fuse of a higher amperage
rating than recommended to
avoid causing extensive dam-
age to the electrical system and
possibly a fire.
[EWA15132]
TIPAfter removing and installing the main
fuse, be sure to turn the main switch
from “ON” to “OFF” three times in
three-second intervals to initialize theidle speed control system.
3. Turn the key to “ON” and turn on the electrical circuit in question to
check if the device operates.
4. If the fuse immediately blows again, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical system.
EAUT3661
Replacing the headlight bulbThis model is equipped with a halogen
bulb headlight. If a headlight bulb burns
out, replace it as follows.NOTICE
ECA10651
Take care not to damage the follow-
ing parts:
Headlight bulb
Do not touch the glass part of
the headlight bulb to keep it free
from oil, otherwise the transpar-
ency of the glass, the luminosity
of the bulb, and the bulb life will
be adversely affected. Thor-
oughly clean off any dirt and fin-
gerprints on the headlight bulb
using a cloth moistened with al-
cohol or thinner.

Headlight lens
Do not affix any type of tinted
film or stickers to the headlight
lens.
Do not use a headlight bulb of awattage higher than specified.
