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

EAU03541*
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

•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.
