OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU15951
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.
EWA10271
WARNING
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of
control, which could cause an ac-
cident or injury.
EAU45310
TIPThis model is equipped with a lean
angle sensor to stop the engine in
case of a turnover. To start the en-
gine after a turnover, be sure to turn
the main switch to “OFF” and then to
“ON”. Failing to do so will prevent the
engine from starting even though the
engine will crank when pushing the
start switch.
EAUT3680
Starting the engine
ECA10250
NOTICESee page 5-3 for engine break-in
instructions prior to operating the
vehicle for the rst time.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
The engine trouble warning light
and coolant temperature warning
light should come on for a few
seconds, then go off.
NOTICE:
If
a warning light does not go off,
have a Yamaha dealer check its
electrical circuit.
[ECAT1170]
2. Close the throttle completely.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the
front or rear brake.
NOTICE:
For
maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine
is cold!
[ECA11041]
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 battery. Do not crank the en-
gine more than 10 seconds on
any one attempt.

Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing 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 cross-
ings).
EAU16830
Engine break-inThere is never a more important pe-
riod in the life of your engine than the
period between 0 and 1000 km (600
mi). 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 fi rst
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts
in the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clear-
ances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
EAUT3540
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 fi ve to
ten minutes.
Vary the engine speed from time to
time. Do not operate the engine at
one set throttle position.
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 change the engine oil and final
transmission oil, and to clean the
oil strainer.
[ECA16501]
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation.
Vary the engine speed occasionally.
ECA10270
NOTICEIf any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

TIP● Air fi lter and V-belt fi lter
• This model’s air fi lter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with
compressed air to avoid damaging it.
• The air fi lter element needs to be replaced and V-belt fi lter needs to be serviced more frequently when riding in
unusually wet or dusty areas.● Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinder and caliper, always change the fl uid. Regularly check the brake
fl uid level and fi ll the reservoir as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder and caliper, and change the brake
fl uid.
• Replace the brake hose every four years and if cracked or damaged.NO. ITEM CHECK OR MAINTENANCE JOBODOMETER READING

1. Spark plug wrenchTo check the spark plug
1. Check that the porcelain insula-
tor around the center electrode
of the spark plug is a medium-to-
light tan (the ideal color when the
vehicle is ridden normally).TIPIf the spark plug shows a distinctly
different color, the engine could be
operating improperly. Do not attempt
to diagnose such problems yourself.
Instead, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
2. Check the spark plug for elec-trode erosion and excessive
carbon or other deposits, and re-
place it if necessary.
Speci ed spark plug:
CPR9EA-9 (NGK)To install the spark plug
1. Measure the spark plug gap with
a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjust the gap to
specifi cation.Spark plug gap:
0.8 ~ 0.9 mm (0.031 ~ 0.035 in)2. Clean the surface of the spark
plug gasket and its mating sur-
face, and then wipe off any grime
from the spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then
tighten it to the specifi ed torque.Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
13 Nm (1.3 m·kgf, 9.4 ft·lbf)
EAUT1835
Checking the spark plugThe spark plug is an important engine
component, which is easy to check.
Since heat and deposits will cause
any spark plug to slowly erode, the
spark plug should be removed and
checked in accordance with the pe-
riodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the
spark plug can reveal the condition of
the engine.
To remove the spark plug
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.
2. Remove panel C. (See page 6-8.)
3. Remove the spark plug cap.
4. Remove the spark plug as
shown, with the spark plug
wrench included in the owner’s
tool kit.

Engine oil and oil strainerThe engine oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the oil must be changed and the oil
strainer cleaned at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the scooter on the center-
stand. 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 fi ller hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add suffi cient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil fi ller
hole, and then tighten the oil fi ller
cap.
To change the engine oil and clean
the oil strainer
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 bolts A
TIPIf 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 fi nger tight. However, the
spark plug should be tightened to the
specifi ed torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Install the panel.

To check the coolant level
The coolant level should be checked
as follows before each ride. In addi-
tion, the coolant must be changed at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance 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 tem-
perature.● Make sure that the vehicle is po-
sitioned straight up when check-
ing the coolant level. A slight tilt
