If the ABS warning light comes on
or flashes while riding, the ABS
may be defective. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
See page 3-13 for an explanation of
the ABS.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by setting the
engine stop switch to “#” and turning
the key to “ON”.
The warning light should come on for
a few seconds, and then go off. If the
warning light does not come on or
remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.

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.

NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is
1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight.
However, the spark plug should be
tightened to the specified torque as
soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Install the cowling.To check the engine oil level
1. Place the scooter on the center-
stand.
NOTE:
Make sure that the scooter is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
oil level. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
