”
Oil change indicator lightThis 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 light comes on
(i.e. before the periodic oil change
interval has been reached), the indi-
cator 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
procedure.)
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.
NOTE:
The oil change indicator light may
flash when the engine is revved with
the scooter on the centerstand, but
this does not indicate a malfunction.

The tripmeter shows the distance
traveled since it was last set to zero.
Pushing the “Trip” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter mode
“TRIP”. To reset the tripmeter, enter
the “TRIP” mode, and then hold down

the overturn switch. If any of those
circuits are defective, the oil change
indicator light will flash.
If the indicator light flashes, have a
Yamaha dealer check the scooter as
soon as possible.NOTE:
The oil change indicator light may
flash when the engine is revved with
the scooter on the centerstand, but

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
4The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpect-
edly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leak-
age or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thor-
ough visual inspection, to check the following points before each ride.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU01128
Engine break-inEngine break-inThere is never a more important peri-
od in the life of your engine than the
period between 0 and 1,600 km. For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do
not put an excessive load on it for the
first 1,600 km. The various parts in
the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clear-
ances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overheat-
ing must be avoided.
EAU03845
0–1,000 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
1,000–1,600 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
ECA00080
cCAfter 1,000 km of operation, the
engine oil must be changed, and
the oil filter cartridge replaced.1,600 km and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated
normally.
EC000049
cCIf any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
EAU00460
ParkingParkingWhen parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
EW000058
w8Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely
to touch them.
8Do not park on a slope or on
soft ground, otherwise the
scooter may overturn.
