BatteryThis scooter is equipped with a
sealed-type (MF) battery, which does
not require any maintenance. There
is no need to check the electrolyte or
to add distilled water.
To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the
battery as soon as possible if it
seems to have discharged. Keep in
mind that the battery tends to dis-
charge more quickly if the scooter is
equipped with optional electrical
accessories.
EAU01144
Checking the wheel bearingsThe front and rear wheel bearings
must be checked at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. If there is play
in the wheel hub or if the wheel does
not turn smoothly, have a Yamaha
dealer check the wheel bearings.
