Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or func-
tion that you do not thorough-
ly understand.
8 8
Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
8 8
For safety, always start the
engine with the centerstand
down.
8 8
When the centerstand is down
and the engine is idling, keep
your hands and feet away from
the rear wheel.

Engine break-inEngine break-in
There is never a more important peri-
od in the life of your engine than the
period between 0 and 1,600 km. For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do
not put an excessive load on it for the
first 1,600 km. The various parts in
the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clear-
ances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overheat-
ing must be avoided.
EAU03845*
0–1,000 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
1,000–1,600 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
ECA00080
cC
After 1,000 km of operation, the
engine oil must be changed, and
the oil filter cartridge replaced.
1,600 km and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated
normally.
EC000049
cC
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely
to touch them.

Do not park on a slope or on
soft ground, otherwise the
scooter may overturn.
