9Scooters are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and freedom.
However, they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best scooter does not
ignore the laws of physics.
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving value and operating condition of your
scooter. Moreover, what is true for the scooter is also true for the rider: good performance depends on
being in good shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of course, out of
the question. Scooter riders—more than car drivers—must always be at their mental and physical
best. Under the influence of even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take dangerous
risks.
Protective clothing is as essential for the scooter rider as seat belts are for car drivers and passen-
gers. Always wear a complete motorcycle suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic
materials with protectors), sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum pro-
tective wear, however, should not encourage carelessness. Although full-coverage helmets and suits,
in particular, create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable.
Riders who lack critical self-control run the risk of going too fast and are apt to take chances. This is
even more dangerous in wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, predictably and defensive-
ly—avoiding all dangers, including those caused by others.

Oil change indicator light “

”
This indicator light comes on at the
initial 1,000 km, then at 5,000 km and
every 5,000 km thereafter to indicate
that the engine oil should be
changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset
the oil change indicator light. (See
page 6-15 for the resetting proce-
dure.)If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator light
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be
indicated at the correct time. (See
page 6-15 for the resetting proce-
dure.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked according to the
following procedure.
1. Set the engine stop switch to “#”
and turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes
on for a few seconds and then
goes off.
3. If the indicator light does not
come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
