Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main
switch as they may cause sig-
nal interference.EAU10472
Main switch/steering lock
The main switch/steering lock con-
trols the ignition and lighting systems,
and is used to lock the steering. The
various positions are described
below.
TIP
Be sure to use the standard key
(black bow) for regular use of the
vehicle. To minimize the risk of losing
the code re-registering key (red bow),
keep it in a safe place and only use it
for code re-registering.

ON
All electrical circuits are supplied with
power; the meter lighting, taillight,
license plate light and auxiliary lights
come on, and the engine can be star-
ted. The key cannot be removed.
TIP
The headlights come on automatically
when the engine is started and stay
on until the key is turned to “OFF” or
the sidestand is moved down.
EAU10661
OFF
All electrical systems are off. The key
can be removed.
EWA10061
Never turn the key to “OFF” or
“LOCK” while the vehicle is

To close the fuel tank cap
1. Be sure the match mark is facing
forward, and then push the fuel
tank cap into the original posi-
tion.
1. Match marks
2. Turn the key counterclockwise
and remove it.
3. Close the fuel tank cover.
EWA11091
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13212
Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline
in the tank.
EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engi-
ne and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the
vicinity 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. 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.

EWA10240
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the sides-
tand cannot be properly moved up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
sidestand could contact the ground
and distract the operator, resulting
in a possible loss of control. Yama-
ha’s ignition circuit cut-off system
has been designed to assist the
operator in fulfilling the responsibi-
lity of raising the sidestand before
starting off. Therefore, check this
system regularly as described
below and have a Yamaha dealer
repair it if it does not function pro-
perly.
EAU45051
Ignition circuit cut-off
system
The ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch and
brake light switches) has the following
functions.
It prevents starting when the
sidestand is up, but neither brake
is applied.
It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the sides-
tand is still down.
It cuts the running engine when
the sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system
according to the following procedure.

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
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of
control, which could cause an acci-
dent or injury.
EAU45310
TIP
This model is equipped with a lean
angle 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”. Failing to do so will prevent the
engine from starting even though the
engine will crank when pushing the
start switch.

Starting the engineECA10250
See page 5-4 for engine break-in
instructions prior to operating the
vehicle for the first time.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, the sides-
tand must be up.
See page 3-19 for more information.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
The following warning light, indi-
cator light and indicators should
come on for a few seconds, then
go off.

EAU16793
BrakingEWA10300
Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over
to one side), otherwise the sco-
oter may skid or overturn.
Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road cons-
truction 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 bra-
king downhill can be very diffi-
cult.
1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually
increasing the pressure.Front

EAU16820
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follo-
wing 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 cros-
sings).

Replacing the fuses
1. Fuse box
2. Hazard fuse
The fuse box, which contains the
fuses for the individual circuits, is
located behind cowling A. (See page
6-8).
TIP
The main fuse, which is in a different
and hard-to-reach location, must be
replaced by a Yamaha dealer.
If a fuse for the individual circuits 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 specifiedamperage. WARNING! Do not
use a fuse of a higher ampera-
ge rating than recommended
to avoid causing extensive
damage to the electrical sys-
tem and possibly a fire.
[EWA15131]
TIP
Fuse tongs and a bag containing spa-
re fuses are included in the owner’s
tool kit. Use the tongs to remove and
install a fuse.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha scooters receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition sys-
tems, for example, can cause poor
starting and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your scooter
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians
have the necessary tools, experience,
and know-how to service the scooter
properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
EWA15141
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there
are no open flames or sparks in the
area, including pilot lights from
water heaters or furnaces. Gasoli-
ne or gasoline vapors can ignite or
explode, causing severe injury or
property damage.
