When the ABS warning light
comes on or flashes while riding,
the brake system reverts to con-
ventional braking. Therefore, be
careful not to cause the wheel to
lock during emergency braking.
NOTE:
The ABS warning light may come on
while pushing the start switch and
while accelerating the engine with the
scooter on its centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.

Oil change indicator light “7”Oil change indicator lightThis indicator light comes on at the
initial 1,000 km and every 3,000 km
thereafter to indicate that the engine
oil should be changed.
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 6-17 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.
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.

Cast wheelsWheelsTo maximize the performance, dura-
bility, and safe operation of your
scooter, note the following points
regarding the specified wheels.
8The wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends or
warpage before each ride. If any
damage is found, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the
wheel. Do not attempt even the
smallest repair to the wheel. A
deformed or cracked wheel must
be replaced.
8The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced.
An unbalanced wheel can result
in poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and a
shortened tire life.

8 8
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires.
Besides being illegal, operat-
ing the scooter with exces-
sively worn tires decreases
riding stability and can lead to
loss of control.
8 8
The replacement of all wheel
and brake related parts,
including the tires, should be
left to a Yamaha dealer, who
has the necessary profession-
al knowledge and experience.
