erwise it may overflow when the
fuel warms up and expands.

8Avoid spilling fuel on the hot
engine.
ECA10070
cCImmediately wipe off spilled fuel with
a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel maydeteriorate painted surfaces or plas-
tic parts.
EAU33520
Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED GASO-
LINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
7.1 L (1.86 US gal) (1.55 Imp.gal)
ECA11400
cCUse 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 system.Your Yamaha engine has been designed
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 unleaded fuel will
extend spark plug life and reduce main-
tenance costs.
EAU13440
Catalytic converterThis vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the muffler.
EWA10860
wThe exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.
ECA10700
cCThe following precautions must be
observed to prevent a fire hazard or
other damages.
8 88 8
8Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
unrepairable damage to the cata-
lytic converter.
8 88 8
8Never park the vehicle near pos-
sible fire hazards such as grass
or other materials that easily
burn.
8 88 8
8Do not allow the engine to idle
too long.

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 if
high-quality components are used. A
rusty exhaust pipe may go unnoticed on
a car, however, it detracts from the over-
all appearance of a scooter. Frequent and
proper care does not only comply with
the terms of the warranty, but it will also
keep your scooter looking good, extend
its life and optimize its performance.
Before cleaning
1. Cover the muffler outlet with a plas-
tic bag after the engine has cooled
down.
2. Make sure that all caps and cov-
ers as well as all electrical couplers
and connectors, including the spark
plug cap, are tightly installed.
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,
with a degreasing agent and a
brush, but never apply such prod-ucts onto seals, gaskets and wheel
axles. Always rinse the dirt and
degreaser off with water.
Cleaning
ECA10780
cC8 88 8
8Avoid using strong acidic wheel
cleaners, especially on spoked
wheels. If such products are used
on hard-to-remove dirt, do not
leave the cleaner on the affected
area any longer than instructed.
Also, thoroughly rinse the area
off with water, immediately dry
it, and then apply a corrosion
protection spray.
8 88 8
8Improper cleaning can damage
windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic parts. Use only
a soft, clean cloth or sponge with
mild detergent and water to clean
plastic.
8 88 8
8Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be sure
to avoid using cloths or sponges
which have been in contact with
strong or abrasive cleaning prod-ucts, solvent or thinner, fuel
(gasoline), rust removers or in-
hibitors, brake fluid, antifreeze or
electrolyte.
8 88 8
8Do not use high-pressure wash-
ers or steam-jet cleaners since
they cause water seepage and
deterioration in the following ar-
eas: seals (of wheel and
swingarm bearings, fork and
brakes), electric components
(couplers, connectors, instru-
ments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
8 88 8
8For scooters equipped with a
windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as they
will cause dulling or scratching.
Some cleaning compounds for
plastic may leave scratches on
the windshield. Test the product
on a small hidden part of the
windshield to make sure that it
does not leave any marks. If the
windshield is scratched, use a
quality plastic polishing com-
pound after washing.

8Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.NOTE:
Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on
what products to use.
EAU26300
StorageShort-term
Always store your scooter in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.
ECA10820
cC8 88 8
8Storing the scooter in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust.
8 88 8
8To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because of
the presence of ammonia) and
areas where strong chemicals are
stored.Long-term
Before storing your scooter for several
months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the
“Care” section of this chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float chamber
by loosening the drain bolt; this will
prevent fuel deposits from building
up. Pour the drained fuel into the
fuel tank.3. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent the
fuel tank from rusting and the fuel
from 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 place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit spark-
ing during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap from
the spark plug, and then install
the spark plug and the spark plug
cap.
