Keep the following points in mind
when using the storage compartment.
•Since the storage compartment
accumulates heat when
exposed to the sun, do not
store anything susceptible to
heat inside it.
•To avoid humidity from
spreading through the storage
compartment, wrap wet articles
in a plastic bag before storing
them in the compartment.
•Since the storage compartment
may get wet while the scooter
is being washed, wrap any arti-
cles stored in the compartment
in a plastic bag.
•Do not keep anything valuable
or breakable in the storage
compartment.
To store a helmet in the storage
compartment, place the helmet with the
front facing backward.
NOTE :
•Some helmets cannot be stored
in the storage compartment
because of their size or shape.
•Do not leave your scooter
unattended with the seat open.

Anti-theft device housing
The anti-theft device housing, located
in the storage compartment under the
seat, is designed to hold a genuine
Yamaha U-LOCK. (See page 3-12 for
seat opening and closing procedures.)
When placing a U-LOCK in the storage
compartment, securely fasten it with the
straps. When the U-LOCK is not in the
storage compartment, be sure to
secure the straps to prevent losing
them.
NOTE :
Some U-LOCKS cannot fit into the
housing due to their size or shape.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
6Observe these precautions:
•When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the brake
fluid reservoir is level.
•Use only the recommended
quality brake fluid, otherwise the
rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor braking
performance.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 4
1. Minimum level mark
•Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking performance.
•Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point
of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
•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.
EAUM0008*
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 hoses replaced every four years
or whenever they are damaged or
leaking.

Replacing the headlight bulb
This scooter is equipped with a quartz
bulb headlight. If the headlight bulb
burns out, replace it as follows.
1. Remove cowling A together with
the headlight unit. (See page 6-7
for cowling removal and installa-
tion procedures.)
WARNING

Headlight bulbs get very hot.
Therefore, keep flammable products
away from a lit headlight bulb, and
do not touch the bulb until it has
cooled down. 2. Disconnect the headlight coupler,
and then remove the bulb cover.

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 charts
represent quick and easy procedures
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.

6Engine overheating
EW000070
•Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
•After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing
sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
WARNING
NOTE :
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended
coolant as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.
The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.
Add coolant. (See NOTE.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.
There is
leakage.
There is
no leakage.
