WARNING
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or func-
tion that you do not thoroughly
understand.
Never start the engine or ope-
rate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of cons-
ciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
For safety, always start the
engine with the centerstand
down.

Starting a cold engine
ECA10250
CAUTION
See page 5-3 for engine break-in
instructions prior to operating the
vehicle for the first time.
1. Turn the key to “f”.
2. Close the throttle completely.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the
front or rear brake.
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to pre-
serve the battery. Do not crank the
engine more than 10 seconds on any
one attempt.
ECA11040
CAUTION
For maximum engine life, never
accelerate hard when the engine is
cold!

The speed can be adjusted by ope-
ning and closing the throttle. To incre-
ase the speed, turn the throttle grip in

WARNING
Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over
to one side), otherwise the sco-
oter may skid or overturn.
Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,
iron plates on road construction
sites, and manhole covers beco-
me extremely slippery when wet.
Therefore, slow down when
approaching such areas and
cross them with caution.

5XL-F8199-E3.qxd 19/09/2005 16:26 Página 28

Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.
Ride slowly down a hill, as bra-
king downhill can be very diffi-
cult.
EAU16830
Engine break-in
There is never a more important
period in the life of your engine than
the period between 0 and 1000 km
(600 mi). For this reason, you should
read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not put
an excessive load on it for the first 1000
km (600 mi). The various parts in the engi-
ne wear and polish themselves to the
correct operating clearances. During this
period, prolonged full-throttle operation
or any condition that might result in engi-
ne overheating must be avoided.
EAU17150
0~150 km (0~90 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
After every hour of operation, stop the
engine, and then let it cool for five to
ten minutes.Vary the engine speed from time to
time. Do not operate the engine at
one set throttle position.
150~500 km (90~300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
Rev the engine freely through the
gears, but do not use full throttle at
any time.
500~1000 km (300~600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4
throttle.
ECA10370
CAUTION
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
the transmission oil must be chan-
ged.
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
Avoid prolonged full-throttle opera-
tion. Vary the engine speed occasio-
nally.
ECA10270
CAUTION
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
EAU17200
Parking
When parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
EWA10310

WARNING
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedes-
trians or children are not likely
to touch them.
Do not park on a slope or on
soft ground, otherwise the
vehicle may overturn.5

EAU17280
Safety is an obligation of the owner.
Periodic inspection, adjustment and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most efficient condi-
tion possible. The most important
points of inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication are explained on the follo-
wing pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart
should be simply considered as a
general guide under normal riding
conditions. However, DEPENDING
ON THE WEATHER, TERRAIN, GEO-
GRAPHICAL LOCATION, AND INDIVI-
DUAL USE, THE MAINTENANCE
INTERVALS MAY NEED TO BE
SHORTENED.
