When approximately 1.7 L (0.45 US
gal, 0.37 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in
the fuel tank, the bottom segment of
the fuel meter and fuel level warning
indicator will start flashing, and the
display will automatically change to
the fuel reserve tripmeter mode “Trip
F” and start counting the distance tra-
veled from that point. In that case,
pushing the “SELECT” button swit-
ches the display between the various
tripmeter and odometer modes in the
following order:
Trip F/Trip (top) Trip (bottom)/Trip
(top) Odo/Trip (top) Trip F/Trip

1. Fuel reserve tripmeter
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pus-
hing the “SELECT” button until “Trip”
or “Trip F” begins flashing (“Trip” or
“Trip F” will only flash for five
seconds). While “Trip” or “Trip F” is
flashing, push the “RESET” button for
at least one second. If you do notreset the fuel reserve tripmeter
manually, it will reset itself automati-
cally and the display will return to the
prior mode after refueling and trave-
ling 5 km (3 mi).
TIP
The display cannot be changed back
to “Trip F” after pushing the “RESET”
button.
Fuel meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The display seg-
ments of the fuel meter disappear
towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the fuel level rea-
ches the bottom segment near “E”,
the fuel level warning indicator and
the bottom segment will flash. Refuel
as soon as possible.

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.

3. Wipe up any spilled fuel imme-
diately. NOTICE:Immediately
wipe off spilled fuel with a cle-
an, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
EWA15151
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause
injury or death. Handle gasoline with
care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you should swallow some
gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. Ifgasoline spills on your skin, wash with
soap and water. If gasoline spills on
your clothing, change your clothes.
EAU33520
ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
severe damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust sys-
tem.
Your Yamaha engine has been desig-
ned to use regular unleaded gasoline
with a research octane number of 91 or
higher. If knocking (or pinging) occurs,
use a gasoline of a different brand or
premium unleaded fuel. Use of unlea-
ded fuel will extend spark plug life and
reduce maintenance costs.
EAU13445
Catalytic converters
This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
EWA10862
The exhaust system is hot after
operation. To prevent a fire hazard
or burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down befo-
re doing any maintenance
work.
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.

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).

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 following 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 themsel-
ves to the correct operating clearan-
ces. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAUS1840
0–500 km (0–300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
4000 r/min.
500–1000 km (300–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
6000 r/min. NOTICE: After 1000
km (600 mi) of operation, be
sure to replace the engine oil,
final transmission oil and the
oil filter element.
[ECA12931]
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated
normally.
ECA10310
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
If any engine trouble should
occur during the engine break-
in period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
EAU17213
Parking
When parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
EWA10311
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedes-
trians 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, increa-
sing the risk of a fuel leak and
fire.
Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch fire.
