Further safe-riding points
•Be sure to signal clearly when making turns.
•Braking can be extremely difficult on a wet road. Avoid hard braking, because the scooter could slide.
Apply the brakes slowly when stopping on a wet surface.
•Slow down as you approach a corner or turn. Once you have completed a turn, accelerate slowly.
•Be careful when passing parked cars. A driver might not see you and open a door in your path.
•Railroad crossings, streetcar rails, iron plates on road construction sites, and manhole covers become
extremely slippery when wet. Slow down and cross them with caution. Keep the scooter upright, otherwise
it could slide out from under you.
•The brake pads could get wet when you wash the scooter. After washing the scooter, check the brakes
before riding.
•Always wear a helmet, gloves, trousers (tapered around the cuff and ankle so they do not flap), and a
bright colored jacket.
•Do not carry too much luggage on the scooter. An overloaded scooter is unstable.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
4The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,
even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or
loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual
inspection, to check the following points before each ride.
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
• Check fuel level in fuel tank.
Fuel• Refuel if necessary.3-6
• Check fuel line for leakage.
• Check oil level in oil tank.
Two-stroke engine oil• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level. 3-7
• Check vehicle for oil leakage.
Final transmission oil• Check oil level and vehicle for oil leakage. 6-6
• Check operation.
• If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
Front brake• Check fluid level in reservoir. 3-4, 6-11
• If necessary, add recommended brake fluid to specified level.
• Check hydraulic system for leakage.
• Check operation.
Rear brake• Check lever free play. 3-5, 6-11
• Adjust if necessary.
• Make sure that operation is smooth.
Throttle grip• Check cable free play.
6-8
• If necessary, have Yamaha dealer adjust cable free play
and lubricate cable and grip housing.
