QQQQQ SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10240

SCOOTERS ARE SINGLE TRACK VE-HICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OP-ERATION ARE DEPENDENT UPONTHE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECH-NIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPER-TISE OF THE OPERATOR. EVERYOPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOL-LOWING REQUIREMENTS BEFORERIDING THIS SCOOTER.HE OR SHE SHOULD:8 OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-

TIONS FROM A COMPETENTSOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OFSCOOTER OPERATION.OBSERVE THE WARNINGS ANDMAINTENANCE REQUIRE-MENTS IN THE OWNER’SMANUAL.

8 OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING INSAFE AND PROPER RIDINGTECHNIQUES.

8 OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATEDBY THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND/OR WHEN MADE NECESSARYBY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS.

Safe riding8 Always make pre-operation checks.

Careful checks may help preventan accident.

8 This scooter is designed to carrythe operator only. No passengers.

8 The failure of motorists to detectand recognize scooters in traffic isthe predominating cause of auto-mobile/scooter accidents. Manyaccidents have been caused by anautomobile driver who did not seethe scooter. Making yourself con-spicuous appears to be very effec-tive in reducing the chance of thistype of accident.

Therefore:9 Wear a brightly colored jacket.9 Use extra caution when ap-

proaching and passing throughintersections, since intersec-tions are the most likely placesfor scooter accidents to occur.

9 Ride where other motorists cansee you. Avoid riding in anothermotorist’s blind spot.

8 Many accidents involve inexperi-enced operators. In fact, many op-erators who have been involved inaccidents do not even have a cur-rent driver’s license.9 Make sure that you are quali-

fied and that you only lend yourscooter to other qualifiedoperators.

9 Know your skills and limits.Staying within your limits mayhelp you to avoid an accident.

9 We recommend that youpractice riding your scooterwhere there is no traffic untilyou have become thoroughlyfamiliar with the scooter and allof its controls.

8 Many accidents have been causedby error of the scooter operator. Atypical error made by the operatoris veering wide on a turn due toEXCESSIVE SPEED orundercornering (insufficient leanangle for the speed).9 Always obey the speed limit

and never travel faster thanwarranted by road and trafficconditions.

QQQQQ SAFETY INFORMATION

AccessoriesGenuine Yamaha accessories havebeen specifically designed for use onthis scooter. Since Yamaha cannot testall other accessories that may be avail-able, you must personally be responsiblefor the proper selection, installation anduse of non-Yamaha accessories. Useextreme caution when selecting and in-stalling any accessories.Keep the following guidelines in mind,as well as those provided under “Load-ing” when mounting accessories.8 Never install accessories or carry

cargo that would impair the perfor-mance of your scooter. Carefullyinspect the accessory before us-ing it to make sure that it does notin any way reduce ground clear-ance or cornering clearance, limitsuspension travel, steering travelor control operation, or obscurelights or reflectors.9 Accessories fitted to the

handlebar or the front fork areacan create instability due toimproper weight distribution oraerodynamic changes. If

accessories are added to thehandlebar or front fork area,they must be as lightweight aspossible and should be kept toa minimum.

9 Bulky or large accessories mayseriously affect the stability ofthe scooter due to aerodynamiceffects. Wind may attempt tolift the scooter, or the scootermay become unstable in crosswinds. These accessories mayalso cause instability whenpassing or being passed bylarge vehicles.

9 Certain accessories candisplace the operator from hisor her normal riding position.This improper position limitsthe freedom of movement ofthe operator and may limitcontrol ability, therefore, suchaccessories are not recom-mended.

8 Use caution when adding electricalaccessories. If electrical accesso-ries exceed the capacity of thescooter’s electrical system an elec-

tric failure could result, which couldcause a dangerous loss of lights orengine power.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

EAU15591

The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or lossof tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspec-tion, to check the following points before each ride.

NOTE:Pre-operation checks should be made each time the vehicle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very shorttime; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

EWA11150

wIf any item in the Pre-operation check list is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operatingthe vehicle.

The spark plug is an important enginecomponent, which is easy to check.Since heat and deposits will cause anyspark plug to slowly erode, the sparkplug should be removed and checked inaccordance with the periodic mainte-nance and lubrication chart. In addition,the condition of the spark plug can re-veal the condition of the engine.

To remove the spark plug1. Remove panel A. (See page 6-6.)2. Remove the partition between the

To check the spark plug1. Check that the porcelain insulator

around the center electrode of thespark plug is a medium-to-light tan(the ideal color when the vehicle isridden normally).

NOTE:If the spark plug shows a distinctly dif-ferent color, the engine could be defec-tive. Do not attempt to diagnose suchproblems yourself. Instead, have aYamaha dealer check the vehicle.

2. Check the spark plug for electrodeerosion and excessive carbon orother deposits, and replace it if nec-essary.

Specified spark plug:CR7E (NGK)

To install the spark plug1. Measure the spark plug gap with a

wire thickness gauge and, if nec-essary, adjust the gap to specifi-cation.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

EAU26090

CareWhile the open design of a scooter re-veals the attractiveness of the technol-ogy, it also makes it more vulnerable.Rust and corrosion can develop even ifhigh-quality components are used. Arusty exhaust pipe may go unnoticed ona car, however, it detracts from the over-all appearance of a scooter. Frequent andproper care does not only comply withthe terms of the warranty, but it will alsokeep your scooter looking good, extendits life and optimize its performance.

Before cleaning1. Cover the muffler outlet with a plas-

tic bag after the engine has cooleddown.

2. Make sure that all caps and cov-ers as well as all electrical couplersand connectors, including the sparkplug cap, are tightly installed.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,like oil burnt onto the crankcase,with a degreasing agent and abrush, but never apply such prod-ucts onto seals, gaskets and wheelaxles. Always rinse the dirt anddegreaser off with water.

cleaners, especially on spokedwheels. If such products are usedon hard-to-remove dirt, do notleave the cleaner on the affectedarea any longer than instructed.Also, thoroughly rinse the areaoff with water, immediately dry it,and then apply a corrosion pro-tection spray.

88888 Improper cleaning can damagewindshields, cowlings, panelsand other plastic parts. Use onlya soft, clean cloth or sponge withmild detergent and water to cleanplastic.

88888 Do not use any harsh chemicalproducts on plastic parts. Be sureto avoid using cloths or spongeswhich have been in contact withstrong or abrasive cleaning prod-ucts, solvent or thinner, fuel(gasoline), rust removers or in-hibitors, brake fluid, antifreeze orelectrolyte.

88888 Do not use high-pressure wash-

ers or steam-jet cleaners sincethey cause water seepage anddeterioration in the following ar-eas: seals (of wheel andswingarm bearings, fork andbrakes), electric components(couplers, connectors, instru-ments, switches and lights),breather hoses and vents.

88888 For scooters equipped with awindshield: Do not use strongcleaners or hard sponges as theywill cause dulling or scratching.Some cleaning compounds forplastic may leave scratches onthe windshield. Test the producton a small hidden part of thewindshield to make sure that itdoes not leave any marks. If thewindshield is scratched, use aquality plastic polishing com-pound after washing.

After normal use

Remove dirt with warm water, a milddetergent, and a soft, clean sponge, andthen rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush for hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt and insectswill come off more easily if the area iscovered with a wet cloth for a few min-utes before cleaning.

After riding in the rain, near the sea oron salt-sprayed roadsSince sea salt or salt sprayed on theroads during winter are extremely corro-sive in combination with water, carry outthe following steps after each ride in therain, near the sea or on salt-sprayedroads.

NOTE:Salt sprayed on roads in the winter mayremain well into spring.

1. Clean the scooter with cold waterand a mild detergent after the en-gine has cooled down.

ECA10790

cCDo not use warm water since it in-creases the corrosive action of thesalt.

2. Apply a corrosion protection sprayon all metal, including chrome- andnickel-plated, surfaces to preventcorrosion.

After cleaning1. Dry the scooter with a chamois or

an absorbing cloth.2. Use a chrome polish to shine

chrome, aluminum and stainless-steel parts, including the exhaustsystem. (Even the thermally in-duced discoloring of stainless-steelexhaust systems can be removedthrough polishing.)

3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-mended to apply a corrosion pro-tection spray on all metal, includ-ing chrome- and nickel-plated, sur-faces.

4. Use spray oil as a universal cleanerto remove any remaining dirt.

5. Touch up minor paint damagecaused by stones, etc.

6. Wax all painted surfaces.7. Let the scooter dry completely be-

fore storing or covering it.

EWA10940

YAMAHA EXTENDED SERVICE (Y.E.S.)

Warranty, extended<IXE>

Keep your Yamaha protected even after your warranty expires with genuine Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.).

Y.E.S. is designed and administered by Yamaha Motor Corporation to provide maximum owner satisfaction. You get uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra peace of mind.

Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that’s right foryou: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months or, on certain models, even 48 months beyond your warranty period.

Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same Yamaha people who handle your warranty – and itshows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There are no mileage limitations. Coverage isn’t limited to “moving parts” or the “drive train” like many other plans. And Y.E.S. covers manufacturing defects just like the warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamahadealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory-backed protection can be.

You don’t have to pay anything for covered repairs. There’s no deductible to pay, and repairs aren’t“pro-rated.” You don’t have any “out-of-pocket” expenses for covered repairs.

In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection (TRIP) is included at no extra cost. TRIP gives you up to $150 reimbursement per occurrence for any reasonable expenses you incur because your Yamaha needs covered service: replacement vehicle rental, emergency towing, phone calls, even food and lodging when you are away from home. This superb coverage goes into effect when you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any warranty repairs as well as covered repairs during your entire Y.E.S. plan period.

Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha dealer nationwide.

Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to a new owner if yousell or trade-in. That can make your Yamaha much more valuable!

This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only available to Yamaha owners like you, and only while your Yamaha is still within the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So visit your authorized Yamaha dealer to get all the facts. He can show you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha Extended Service.
