Removing the battery coverBattery cover removalThe battery cover needs to be
removed to access the battery, the
fuse box and the coolant reservoir
cap.
EAU01271
BatteryBatteryThis 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.

cC8Always keep the battery
charged. Storing a discharged
battery can cause permanent
battery damage.
8To charge a sealed-type (MF)
battery, a special (constant-
voltage) battery charger is
required. Using a conventional
battery charger will damage
the battery. If you do not have
access to a sealed-type (MF)
battery charger, have a
Yamaha dealer charge your
battery.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and
then install a new fuse of the
specified amperage.
EC000103
cCDo not use a fuse of a higher
amperage rating than recommend-
ed to avoid causing extensive
damage to the electrical system
and possibly a fire.3. Turn the key to “ON” and turn on
the electrical circuit in question to
check if the device operates. Specified fuses:
Main fuse: 30 A
Backup fuse (clock): 10 A
Radiator fan fuse: 4 A
Ignition fuse: 7.5 A
Headlight fuse: 15 A
Signaling system fuse: 15 A
