Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical
accessories 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
main switch. When parking the
scooter, note the following:
• The engine and exhaust sys-
tem may be hot, therefore,
park the scooter in a place
where pedestrians 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 gasoli-
ne, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immedia-
tely. If any gasoline spills on your
skin or clothing, immediately
wash the affected area with soap
and water and change your clot-
hes.
EAU10360
Further safe-riding points
Be sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
Braking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard bra-
king, because the scooter could
slide. Apply the brakes slowly
when stopping on a wet surface.
Slow down as you approach a
corner or turn. Once you have
completed 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 cons-
truction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Slow down and
cross them with caution. Keep
the scooter upright, otherwise it
could slide out from under you.
The brake lining could get wet
when you wash the scooter. After
washing the scooter, check the
brakes before riding.

Speedometer unit
1. Speedomenter unit
2. Odometer
The speedometer unit is equipped
with a speedometer, an odometer and
a tripmeter. The speedometer shows
riding speed. The odometer shows
the total distance traveled. The trip-
meter shows the distance traveled
since it was last set to zero.
Pushing the “TRIP” button switches
the display between the odometer
mode “ODO” and the tripmeter mode
“TRIP”. To reset the tripmeter, enter
the “TRIP” mode, and then hold down
the “TRIP” button for at least one
second. The tripmeter can be used
together with the fuel gauge to esti-mate the distance that can be trave-
led with a full tank of fuel. This infor-
mation will enable you to plan future
fuel stops.
Setting the odometer/tripmeter
reading mode
The odometer and tripmeter can be
set to count in either miles or kilome-
ters according to the following proce-
dure.
1. Turn the key to “ON” while pres-
sing the reset button.
2. Release the reset button when
the display comes on.
3. The current mode appears in the
display: “CONT” (continental) for
the kilometer mode and “EnGL”
(English) for the mile mode.
4. Press the reset button to switch
the mode.
5. Press the reset button for two
seconds to confirm the setting.
NOTE:
The odometer/tripmeter reading
mode can be changed any num-
ber of times while the odometer
reading is below 10, but it cannot
be changed anymore after the
reading has reached 10.
Switching between the mile and
the kilometer mode does not
change or convert the current
odometer/tripmeter reading.

When the key is turned to “OFF”, the
voltage/fuel gauge indicates the bat-
tery voltage.
NOTE:
If the battery voltage drops to 10 V,
have a Yamaha dealer check the bat-
tery.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
voltage/fuel gauge indicates the
amount of fuel in the fuel tank after
indicating the battery voltage for two

“E” (empty) as the fuel level decrea-
ses. When the needle reaches “E”,
refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE:
Do not allow the fuel tank to empty
itself completely.
