Final transmission oil
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
maintenance and lubrication chart.
1. Start the engine, warm it up by
riding the scooter for several mi-
nutes, and then stop the engine.
2. Place the scooter on the
centerstand.3. Place an oil pan under the final
transmission case to collect the
used oil.
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.
Oil quantity:
0.11 L

•Make sure that no foreign
material enters the final trans-
mission case.
•Make sure that no oil gets on
7. Check the final transmission case
for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.

Cleaning the air filter element
The air filter element should be cleaned
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Clean the air filter element more
frequently if you are riding in unusually
wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove the air filter case cover
by removing the screws.2. Pull the air filter element out, clean
it with solvent, and then squeeze
the remaining solvent out.
EW000075
Use only a dedicated parts cleaning
solvent. To avoid the risk of fire or
explosion, do not use gasoline or
solvents with a low flash point.
EC000089
To avoid damaging the foam material,
handle it gently and carefully, and do
not twist or wring it.3. Apply oil of the recommended
type to the entire surface of the
element, and then squeeze the
excess oil out.
NOTE :
The air filter element should be wet but
not dripping.

Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. In addition, have the
brake hose replaced every four years
or whenever it is damaged or leaking.
EAU02962
Checking and lubricating the
cables
The operation of all control cables and
the condition of the cables should be
checked before each ride, and the
cables and cable ends should be
lubricated if necessary. If a cable is
damaged or does not move smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or replace
it.
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil
EW000112
Damage to the outer sheath may
interfere with proper cable operation
and will cause the inner cable to
rust. Replace a damaged cable as
soon as possible to prevent unsafe
conditions.

•Brake fluid may deteriorate painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.
•As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if the
brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.

Checking the front fork
The condition and operation of the front
fork must be checked as follows at the
intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart.
To check the condition
EW000115
Securely support the scooter so that
there is no danger of it falling over.
Check the inner tubes for scratches,
damage and excessive oil leakage.To check the operation
1. Place the scooter on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright po-
sition.
2. While applying the front brake,
push down hard on the
handlebars several times to check
if the front fork compresses and
rebounds smoothly.
EC000098
If any damage is found or the front
fork does not operate smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or
repair it.

Checking the steering
Worn or loose steering bearings may
cause danger. Therefore, the operation
of the steering must be checked as
follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
1. Place a stand under the engine
to raise the front wheel off the
ground.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

Care
While the open design of a scooter
reveals the attractiveness of the
technology, it also makes it more
vulnerable. Rust and corrosion can
develop even if high-quality
components are used. A rusty exhaust
pipe may go unnoticed on a car,
however, it detracts from the overall
appearance of a scooter. Frequent and
proper care does not only comply with
the terms of the warranty, but it will also
keep your scooter looking good, extend
its life and optimize its performance.Before cleaning
1. Cover the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag after the engine has
cooled down.
2. Make sure that all caps and
covers as well as all electrical
couplers and connectors,
including the spark plug cap, are
tightly installed.
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,
with a degreasing agent and a
brush, but never apply such
products onto seals, gaskets and
wheel axles. Always rinse the dirt
and degreaser off with water.CleaningECA00011
•Avoid using strong acidic wheel
cleaners, especially on spoked
wheels. If such products are used
on hard-to-remove dirt, do not
leave the cleaner on the affected
area any longer than instructed.
Also, thoroughly rinse the area off
with water, immediately dry it, and
then apply a corrosion protection
spray.
•Improper cleaning can damage
windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic parts. Use only
a soft, clean cloth or sponge with
mild detergent and water to clean
plastic.
•Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be sure
to avoid using cloths or sponges
which have been in contact with
strong or abrasive cleaning
products, solvent or thinner, fuel
(gasoline), rust removers or
inhibitors, brake fluid, antifreeze
or electrolyte.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

Storage
Short-term
Always store your scooter in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.
ECA00015
•Storing the scooter in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust.
•To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong
chemicals are stored.Long-term
Before storing your scooter for several
months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the
"Care" section of this chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float
chamber by loosening the drain
bolt; this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the drained
fuel into the fuel tank.
3. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and the
fuel from deteriorating.
4. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinder, piston rings,
etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug cap
and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine
oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto
the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit
sparking during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.
EWA00003
To prevent damage or injury from
sparking, make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while turning
the engine over.
5. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers and
pedals as well as of the sidestand/
centerstand.
6. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the scooter so that both of its
wheels are off the ground.
Alternatively, turn the wheels a
little every month in order to
prevent the tires from becoming
degraded in one spot.
