TIP
Engine air filter and V-belt air filters
• This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated pa-
per element, which must not be cleaned with compressed air to avoid
damaging it.
• The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter
elements need to be serviced more frequently when riding in unusually wet
or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always
change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid levels and fill the reser-
voirs as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cyl-
inders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Checking the spark plug
The 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 periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. In addi-
tion, 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. Open the seat. (See page 3-20.)
3. Remove the rear storage com-
partment by removing the bolts.
4. Remove the spark plug cap.5. Remove the spark plug as shown,
with the spark plug wrench includ-
ed in the owner’s tool kit.
To check the spark plug
1. Check that the porcelain insulator
around the center electrode of the
spark plug is a medium-to-light
tan (the ideal color when the vehi-
cle is ridden normally).
TIP
If the spark plug shows a distinctly dif-
ferent color, the engine could be oper-
ating improperly. Do not attempt to
diagnose such problems yourself. In-
stead, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
2. Check the spark plug for electrode
erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, and replace it if
necessary.
3. Measure the spark plug gap with a
wire thickness gauge and, if nec-
essary, adjust the gap to specifi-
cation.

6 To install the spark plug
1. Clean the surface of the spark
plug gasket and its mating sur-
face, and then wipe off any grime
from the spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.
TIP
If 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 finger tight. However, the
spark plug should be tightened to the
specified torque as soon as possible.
3. Install the spark plug cap.
4. Place the rear storage compart-
ment in the original position and
install the bolts.
5. Close the seat.

Engine oil
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart and when the service
indicator light comes on.
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 set-
tles, remove the oil filler cap, wipe
the dipstick clean, insert it back
into the oil filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.

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 bolt to
drain the oil from the crankcase.
4. Check the drain bolt washer for
damage and replace it if neces-
sary.

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
