Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED
GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
Total amount:
6.5 L
Your  Yamaha  engine  has  been
designed  to  use  regular  unleaded
gasoline  with  a  research  octane
number of 91 or higher. If knocking (or
pinging)  occurs,  use  a  gasoline  of  a
different  brand  or  premium  unleaded
fuel.  Use  of  unleaded  fuel  will  extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.
EWA00008
Since  gasoline  is  flammable,  the
following  precautions  must  be
observed.
•Stop  the  engine  before
refueling.
•Never  attempt  to  refuel  the
scooter while smoking or near
an open flame.
•Take  special  care  not  to  spill
gasoline  over  the  engine  or
muffler  when  refueling
immediately after operation.
•Before  starting  the  engine,
quickly  wipe  off  any  gasoline
spilled on the engine or muffler.

Immediately  wipe  off  spilled  fuel
with  a  clean,  dry,  soft  cloth,  since
fuel  may  deteriorate  painted  surfa-
ces or plastic parts.

The  final  transmission  case  must  be
checked  for  oil  leakage  before  each
ride.  If  any  leakage  is  found,  have  a
Yamaha  dealer  check  and  repair  the
scooter. In addition, the final transmis-
sion oil must be changed as follows at
the  intervals  specified  in  the  periodic

4. Remove the oil filler cap and drain
bolt to drain the oil from the final
transmission case.
5. Install  the  final  transmission  oil
drain  bolt,  and  then  tighten  it  to
the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Final transmission oil drain bolt:
17 Nm (1.7 m
•kgf)
6. Add  the  specified  amount  of  the
recommended final transmission
oil, and then install and tighten the
oil filler cap.
Recommended final transmission oil:
See page 8-1.

Troubleshooting
Although  Yamaha  scooters  receive  a
thorough  inspection  before  shipment
from  the  factory,  trouble  may  occur
during  operation.  Any  problem  in  the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems,
for  example,  can  cause  poor  starting
and loss of power.
The  following  troubleshooting  chart
represents a quick and easy procedure
for  checking  these  vital  systems
yourself.  However,  should  your  scoo-
ter  require  any  repair,  take  it  to  a
Yamaha  dealer,  whose  skilled
technicians have the necessary tools,
experience,  and  know-how  to  service
the scooter properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replacement
parts.  Imitation  parts  may  look  like
Yamaha  parts,  but  they  are  often
inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
