•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.

Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED
GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
Total amount:
7.2 L
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.

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.
Cleaning
ECA00011
•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.
•Do not use high-pressure
washers or steam-jet cleaners
since they cause water seepage
and deterioration in the following
areas: seals (of wheel and
swingarm bearings, fork and
brakes), electric components
(couplers, connectors, instru-
ments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
