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.

9 Always signal before turning orchanging lanes. Make sure thatother motorists can see you.

8 The posture of the operator is im-portant for proper control. The op-erator should keep both hands onthe handlebar and both feet on thefootboard during operation to main-tain control of the scooter.

8 Never ride under the influence ofalcohol or other drugs.

8 This scooter is designed for on-roaduse only. It is not suitable for off-road use.

Protective apparelThe majority of fatalities from scooteraccidents are the result of head injuries.The use of a safety helmet is the singlemost critical factor in the prevention orreduction of head injuries.8 Always wear an approved helmet.8 Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind

in your unprotected eyes could con-tribute to an impairment of visionthat could delay seeing a hazard.

8 The use of a jacket, substantialshoes, trousers, gloves, etc., iseffective in preventing or reducing

abrasions or lacerations.8 Never wear loose-fitting clothes,

otherwise they could catch on thecontrol levers or wheels and causeinjury or an accident.

8 Never touch the engine or exhaustsystem during or after operation.They become very hot and cancause burns. Always wear protec-tive clothing that covers your legs,ankles, and feet.

ModificationsModifications made to this scooter notapproved by Yamaha, or the removal oforiginal equipment, may render thescooter unsafe for use and may causesevere personal injury. Modificationsmay also make your scooter illegal touse.

Loading and accessoriesAdding accessories or cargo to yourscooter can adversely affect stabilityand handling if the weight distribution ofthe scooter is changed. To avoid thepossibility of an accident, use extremecaution when adding cargo or accesso-ries to your scooter. Use extra care when

riding a scooter that has added cargo oraccessories. Here are some generalguidelines to follow if loading cargo oradding accessories to your scooter:

LoadingThe total weight of the operator, acces-sories and cargo must not exceed themaximum load limit of 77 kg (170 lb).When loading within this weight limit,keep the following in mind:8 Cargo and accessory weight should

be kept as low and close to thescooter as possible. Make sure todistribute the weight as evenly aspossible on both sides of thescooter to minimize imbalance orinstability.

8 Shifting weights can create a sud-den imbalance. Make sure that ac-cessories and cargo are securelyattached to the scooter before riding.Check accessory mounts andcargo restraints frequently.

8 Never attach any large or heavyitems to the handlebar, front fork,or front fender. Such items can cre-ate unstable handling or a slowsteering response.

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.

Gasoline and exhaust gas8 GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAM-

MABLE:9 Always turn the engine off

when refueling.9 Take care not to spill any

gasoline on the engine orexhaust system when refueling.

9 Never refuel while smoking orin the vicinity of an open flame.

8 Never start the engine or let it runfor any length of time in a closedarea. The exhaust fumes are poi-sonous and may cause loss of con-sciousness and death within ashort time. Always operate yourscooter in an area that has adequateventilation.

8 Always turn the engine off beforeleaving the scooter unattended andremove the key from the mainswitch. When parking the scooter,note the following:9 The engine and exhaust

system may be hot, therefore,park the scooter in a placewhere pedestrians or childrenare not likely to touch these hotareas.

9 Do not park the scooter on aslope or soft ground, otherwiseit may fall over.

9 Do not park the scooter near aflammable source (e.g., akerosene heater, or near anopen flame), otherwise it couldcatch fire.

8 If you should swallow any gasoline,inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, orallow gasoline to get in your eyes,see your doctor immediately. If anygasoline spills on your skin or cloth-ing, immediately wash the affectedarea with soap and water andchange your clothes.

sers (tapered around the cuff andankle so they do not flap), and abright colored jacket.

8 Do not carry too much luggage onthe scooter. An overloaded scooteris unstable. Use a strong cord tosecure any luggage to the carriers.A loose load will affect the stabilityof the scooter and could divert yourattention from the road. (See page1-1.)

EAU10350

Further safe-riding points8 Make sure to signal clearly when

making turns.8 Braking can be extremely difficult

on a wet road. Avoid hard braking,because the scooter could slide.Apply the brakes slowly when stop-ping on a wet surface.

8 Slow down as you approach a cor-ner or turn. Once you have com-pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.

8 Be careful when passing parkedcars. A driver might not see you andopen a door in your path.

8 Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,iron plates on road constructionsites, and manhole covers becomeextremely slippery when wet. Slowdown and cross them with caution.Keep the scooter upright, otherwiseit could slide out from under you.

8 The brake lining could get wet whenyou wash the scooter. After wash-ing the scooter, check the brakesbefore riding.

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.

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.

Care<IXE>

CleaningECA10780

cC88888 Avoid using strong acidic wheel

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

w88888 Make sure that there is no oil or

wax on the brakes or tires. If nec-essary, clean the brake discs andbrake linings with a regular brakedisc cleaner or acetone, andwash the tires with warm waterand a mild detergent.

88888 Before operating the scooter testits braking performance and cor-nering behavior.

ECA10800

cC88888 Apply spray oil and wax spar-

ingly and make sure to wipe offany excess.

88888 Never apply oil or wax to any rub-ber and plastic parts, but treatthem with a suitable care prod-uct.

88888 Avoid using abrasive polishingcompounds as they will wearaway the paint.

StorageShort-termAlways store your scooter in a cool, dryplace and, if necessary, protect it againstdust with a porous cover.

ECA10820

cC88888 Storing the scooter in a poorly

ventilated room or covering itwith a tarp, while it is still wet,will allow water and humidity toseep in and cause rust.

88888 To prevent corrosion, avoiddamp cellars, stables (because ofthe presence of ammonia) andareas where strong chemicals arestored.

Long-termBefore storing your scooter for severalmonths:

1. Follow all the instructions in the“Care” section of this chapter.

2. Drain the carburetor float chamberby loosening the drain bolt; this willprevent fuel deposits from buildingup. Pour the drained fuel into thefuel tank.

Storage<IXE>

3. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuelstabilizer (if available) to prevent thefuel tank from rusting and the fuelfrom deteriorating.

4. Perform the following steps to pro-tect the cylinder, piston rings, etc.from corrosion.a. Remove the spark plug cap and

spark plug.b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil

into the spark plug bore.c. Install the spark plug cap onto

the spark plug, and then placethe spark plug on the cylinderhead so that the electrodes aregrounded. (This will limit spark-ing during the next step.)

d. Turn the engine over severaltimes with the starter. (This willcoat the cylinder wall with oil.)

e. Remove the spark plug cap fromthe spark plug, and then installthe spark plug and the spark plugcap.

spark plug electrodes while turningthe engine over.

5. Lubricate all control cables and thepivoting points of all levers andpedals as well as of the sidestand/centerstand.

6. Check and, if necessary, correctthe tire air pressure, and then liftthe scooter so that both of itswheels are off the ground. Alterna-tively, turn the wheels a little everymonth in order to prevent the tiresfrom becoming degraded in onespot.

7. Cover the muffler outlet with a plas-tic bag to prevent moisture from en-tering it.

8. Remove the battery and fully chargeit. Store it in a cool, dry place andcharge it once a month. Do not storethe battery in an excessively coldor warm place [less than 0°C (30°F) or more than 30°C (90°F)]. Formore information on storing thebattery, see page 6-20.

NOTE:Make any necessary repairs before stor-ing the scooter.

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.
