OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU00436
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1,000 km. For this
reason, you should read the following
material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1,000 km. The various parts in the
engine wear and polish themselves to
the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-
throttle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating must
be avoided.
EAUT0003
0 — 150 km
Avoid operation above 1/3 throttle. Stop
the engine and let it cool for 5 to 10
minutes after every hour of operation.
Vary the speed of the scooter from time
to time. Do not operate it at one set
throttle position.150 — 500 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
500 — 1,000 km
Avoid cruising speeds in excess of 3/
4 throttle.
ECAT0001
After 1,000 km of operation, be sure
to replace the final transmission oil.
1,000 km and beyond
Avoid prolonged full throttle operation.
Vary speeds occasionally.
EC000049
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
•Thoroughly warm up the engine.
•Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
•Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
•Turn the engine off instead of
letting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or at railroad
crossings).

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

NOTE :
•The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
•Hydraulic brake service
•Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
•Every two years change the brake fluid.
•Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE
7
•Do 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 products, solvent or
thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust
removers or inhibitors, brake
fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte.
•Do not use high-pressure
washers or steam-jet cleaners
since they cause water
seepage and deterioration in
the following areas: seals (of
wheel and swingarm bearings,
fork and brakes), electric
components (couplers,
connectors, instruments,
switches and lights), breather
hoses and vents.
•For 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
compound after washing.
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild
detergent, and a soft, clean sponge,
and then rinse thoroughly with clean
water. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush
for hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt
and insects will come off more easily if
the area is covered with a wet cloth for
a few minutes before cleaning.
After riding in the rain, near the sea
or on salt-sprayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the
roads during winter are extremely cor-
rosive in combination with water, carry
out the following steps after each ride
in the rain, near the sea or on salt-
sprayed roads.
NOTE :
Salt sprayed on roads in the winter may
remain well into spring.
1. Clean the scooter with cold water
and a mild detergent after the
engine has cooled down.
ECA00012
Do not use warm water since it
increases the corrosive action of the
salt.
2. Apply a corrosion protection spray
on all metal, including chrome-
and nickel-plated, surfaces to
prevent corrosion.
