8. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
9. Turn the engine off, and then check
the oil level and correct it if neces-
sary.
10. Reset the oil change indicator. (See
page 3-2 for reset procedures.)NOTE:
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator changes to red (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator must
be reset after the oil change for the next
periodic oil change to be indicated at the
correct time.

Final transmission oilThe 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 transmission oil must
be changed as follows at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
1. Start the engine, warm it up by
riding the scooter for several min-
utes, and then stop the engine.
2. Place the scooter on the
centerstand.
3. Place an oil pan under the final
transmission case to collect the
used oil.
4. Remove the oil filler cap and drain
bolt to drain the oil from the final

Adjusting the valve clearanceThe valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper air-fuel mixture and/
or engine noise. To prevent this from
occurring, the valve clearance must be
adjusted by a Yamaha dealer at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.

Adjusting the throttle cable
free playThe throttle cable free play should mea-
sure 3~5 mm (0.12~0.20 in) at the
throttle grip. Periodically check the
throttle cable free play and, if necessary,
adjust it as follows.NOTE:
The engine idling speed must be cor-
rectly adjusted before checking and ad-
justing the throttle cable free play.1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the throttle cable free
play, turn the adjusting nut in direc-
tion (a). To decrease the throttle
cable free play, turn the adjusting
nut in direction (b).

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR8As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if the
brake fluid level goes down sud-
denly, have a Yamaha dealer check
the cause.
EAU22720
Changing the brake fluidHave a Yamaha dealer change the brake
fluid at the intervals specified in the
NOTE after the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. In addition, have
the oil seals of the brake master cylin-
der and caliper as well as the brake hose
replaced at the intervals listed below or
whenever they are damaged or leaking.
8Oil seals: Replace every two years.
8Brake hose: Replace every four
years.
EAU23100
Checking and lubricating the
cablesThe operation of all control cables and
the condition of the cables should be
checked before each ride, and the
cables and cable ends should be lubri-
cated if necessary. If a cable is dam-
aged or does not move smoothly, have
a Yamaha dealer check or replace it.
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil
EWA10720
wDamage to the outer sheath may in-
terfere with proper cable operation
and will cause the inner cable to rust.
Replace a damaged cable as soon as
possible to prevent unsafe condi-
tions.

fork must be checked as follows at the
intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart.
To check the condition
EWA10750
wSecurely support the motorcycle so
that there is no danger of it falling
over.Check the inner tubes for scratches,
damage and excessive oil leakage.
To check the operation
1. Place the motorcycle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
2. While applying the front brake, push
down hard on the handlebars sev-
eral times to check if the front fork
compresses and rebounds
smoothly.

Checking the steeringWorn or loose steering bearings may
cause danger. Therefore, the operation
of the steering must be checked as fol-
lows at the intervals specified in the

chart.
1. Place a stand under the engine to
raise the front wheel off the ground.
EWA10750

wTo prevent damage or injury from
sparking, make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while turning
the engine over.5. Lubricate all control cables and the
pivoting points of all levers and
pedals as well as of the sidestand/
centerstand.
6. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the scooter so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alterna-
tively, turn the wheels a little every
month in order to prevent the tires
from becoming degraded in one
spot.
7. Cover the muffler outlet with a plas-
tic bag to prevent moisture from en-
tering it.
8. Remove the battery and fully charge
it. Store it in a cool, dry place and
charge it once a month. Do not store
the battery in an excessively cold
or warm place [less than 0 °C (30°F) or more than 30 °C (90 °F)]. For
more information on storing the
battery, see page 6-23.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before stor-
ing the scooter.
