sories exceed the capacity of the
scooter’s electrical system an
electric failure could result, which
could cause a dangerous loss of
lights or engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-
BLE:

Always turn the engine off when
refueling.

Take care not to spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust
system when refueling.

Never refuel while smoking or in
the vicinity of an open flame.

Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
scooter in an area that has ade-
quate ventilation.

Always turn the engine off before
leaving the scooter unattended
and remove the key from the mainswitch. When parking the scooter,
note the following:

The engine and exhaust system
may be hot, therefore, park the
scooter in a place where pedes-
trians or children are not likely to
touch these hot areas.

Do not park the scooter on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise it
may fall over.

Do not park the scooter near a
flammable source (e.g., a kero-
sene heater, or near an open
flame), otherwise it could catch
fire.

If you should swallow any gaso-
line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immediate-
ly. If any gasoline spills on your
skin or clothing, immediately wash
the affected area with soap and
water and change your clothes.
EAU10370
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 cor-
ner or turn. Once you have com-
pleted 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 be-
come extremely slippery when
wet. Slow down and cross them
with caution. Keep the scooter up-
right, 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.

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 does not come on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
NOTE:

The oil change indicator may flash
when the engine is revved with the
scooter on the centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
V-belt replacement indicator
“V-BELT”
This indicator flashes every 20000 km
(12000 mi) when the V-belt needs to be
replaced.
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.1. Turn the key to “ON” and make
sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “ ”.
2. If the indicator does not come on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If any of those circuits are defective, the
multi-function display will indicate a
two-digit error code (e.g., 12, 13, 14).
If the multi-function display indicates
such an error code, note the code num-
ber, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
CAUTION:

ECA11790
If the multi-function display indi-
cates an error code, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as pos-
sible in order to avoid engine dam-
age.
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the immobiliz-er system.
If any of the immobilizer system circuits
are defective, the immobilizer system
indicator light will flash, and then the
multi-function display will indicate a
two-digit error code (e.g., 51, 52, 53)
when the key is turned to “ON”.
NOTE:

If the multi-function display indicates er-
ror code 52, this could be caused by
transponder interference. If this error
appears, try the following.
1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.
NOTE:

Make sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobilizer
key on the same key ring! Immobilizer
system keys may cause signal interfer-
ence, which may prevent the engine
from starting.
2. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
