Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. The needle moves
towards "E" (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When the remaining fuel in
the tank reaches approximately 1.9 L, the
fuel level warning light will come on and
the multi-function display will
automatically change to the "Trip/Fuel"
mode. (See page 3-4 — 3-5 for details.).
If this occurs, refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE :
Do not allow the fuel tank to empty itself
completely.
EAUM0099*
Battery voltage/coolant
temperature gauge
When the key is turned to "", this
gauge indicates the battery voltage
level before the engine was stopped.
NOTE :
If the needle drops to the "9V" mark,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
battery.When the key is turned to "
", this
gauge indicates the coolant
temperature. If the needle reaches the
red zone, stop the scooter and allow
the engine to cool. (See page 6-17 for
details.)

Do not operate the engine if it is
overheated.

Multi-function display
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:
•an odometer (which shows the
total distance traveled)
•two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero, the time passed
since the tripmeters were set to
zero, and the average speed
traveled during this time)
•a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the fuel level warning light came
on)
•a clock
•an ambient temperature display
•an oil change indicator (which
comes on when the engine oil
should be changed)
NOTE :
•For the UK, the distance traveled
is displayed in miles and the
temperature reading is displayed
in °F.
•For other countries, the distance
traveled is displayed in kilometers
and the temperature reading is
displayed in °C.Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the "MODE" button switches
the display between the odometer
mode "Total" and the tripmeter modes
"Trip" in the following order:
Total ⇒ Trip 1 ⇒ Trip 2 ⇒Trip/fuel
⇒ Total

NOTE :
•The Trip/fuel odometer is only

light comes on.
•The Trip 2 odometer is

the key to "" (2 Hours).
Pushing the "SET" button when in the
tripmeter mode switches the display
between the different tripmeter
functions in the following order:
Distance ⇒ Time ⇒ Average
speed ⇒ DistanceIf the fuel level warning light comes on
(See page 3-3.), the display will
automatically change to the fuel reserve
tripmeter mode "Trip/fuel" and start
counting the distance traveled from that
point. In that case, pushing the "MODE"
button switches the display between the
various tripmeter and odometer modes
in the following order:
Trip/Fuel ⇒ Trip 1 ⇒ Trip 2 ⇒
Total ⇒ Trip/fuelTo reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing
the "MODE" button, and then push the
"SET" button for at least one second. If
you do not reset the fuel reserve
tripmeter manually, it will reset itself
automatically and the display will return
to the prior mode after refueling and
traveling 5 km (3 mi).

Make sure that there is sufficient fuel
in the tank. Fill the fuel tank to the
bottom of the filler tube as shown.

•Do not overfill the fuel tank,
otherwise it may overflow when
the fuel warms up and expands.
•Avoid spilling fuel on the hot
engine.

Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with
a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel may
deteriorate painted surfaces or plas-
tic parts.
CAUTION:
EAU04284
Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED
GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
Total amount:
10.9 L
Reserve amount:
1.9 L
ECA00104
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been
designed to use regular unleaded
gasoline with a research octane
number of 91 or higher. If knocking (or
pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of a
different brand or premium unleaded
fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.
CAUTION:
EAU03098
Catalytic converter
This scooter is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the muffler.
EW000128
The exhaust system is hot after
operation. Make sure that the
exhaust system has cooled down
before doing any maintenance work.
EC000114
The following precautions must be
observed to prevent a fire hazard or
other damages.
•Use only unleaded gasoline.
The use of leaded gasoline will
cause unrepairable damage to
the catalytic converter.
•Never park the scooter near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
•Do not allow the engine to idle
too long.

CAUTION:

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.
