2006 YAMAHA MAJESTY 180 air condition

• Always obey the speed limit
and never travel faster than
warranted by road and traffic
conditions.
• Always signal before turning or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
The posture of the operator and
passenger is important for proper
control.
• The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the footboard
during operation to maintain
control of the scooter.
• The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger foo-
trests.
• Never carry a passenger
unless he or she can firmly pla-
ce both feet on the passenger
footrests.
Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
This scooter is designed for on-
road use only. It is not suitable for
off-road use.
Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from scooter
accidents are the result of head inju-
ries. The use of a safety helmet is the
single most critical factor in the pre-
vention or reduction of head injuries.
Always wear an approved hel-
met.
Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impair-
ment of vision which could delay
seeing a hazard.
The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is
effective in preventing or redu-
cing abrasions or lacerations.
Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on
the control levers or wheels and
cause injury or an accident.
Never touch the engine or
exhaust system during or after
operation. They become very hot
and can cause burns. Always
wear protective clothing thatcovers your legs, ankles, and
feet.
Passengers should also observe
the above precautions.
Modifications
Modifications made to this scooter
not approved by Yamaha, or the
removal of original equipment, may
render the scooter unsafe for use and
may cause severe personal injury.
Modifications may also make your
scooter illegal to use.
Loading and accessories
Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution
of the scooter is changed. To avoid
the possibility of an accident, use
extreme caution when adding cargo
or accessories to your scooter. Use
extra care when riding a scooter that
has added cargo or accessories. Here
are some general guidelines to follow
if loading cargo or adding accessories
to your scooter:1

The condition of a vehicle is the
owner’s responsibility. Vital compo-
nents 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 follo-
wing points before each ride.
NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be
made each time the vehicle is used.
Such an inspection can be accom-
plished in a very short time; and the
added safety it assures is more than
worth the time involved.

If any item in the Pre-operation
check list is not working properly,
have it inspected and repaired

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.

The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is performed
instead.
From 50000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km.
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and

Checking the spark plug
1. Spark plug cap
The spark plug is an important engine
component, which should be chec-
ked periodically, preferably by a
Yamaha dealer. Since heat and depo-
sits will cause any spark plug to
slowly erode, it should be removed
and checked in accordance with the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the
spark plug can reveal the condition of
the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the
center electrode of the spark plug
should be a medium-to-light tan (the
ideal color when the vehicle is riddennormally). If the spark plug shows a
distinctly different color, the engine
could be defective. Do not attempt to
diagnose such problems yourself.
Instead, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
If the spark plug shows signs of elec-
trode erosion and excessive carbon
or other deposits, it should be repla-
ced.
1. Spark plug wrench
Before installing a spark plug, the
spark plug gap should be measured
with a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjusted to specification.Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the
spark plug threads.
1. Spark plug gap
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is
1/4~1/2 turn past finger tight. Howe-
ver, the spark plug should be tighte-
ned to the specified torque as soon
as possible.
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
20 Nm 2,0 m•kgf, 14,46ft•lb)
Spark plug gap:
0,7~0,8 mm (0,0275in-0,0315in)
Specified spark plug:

Tires
To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your
motorcycle, note the following points
regarding the specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be chec-
ked and, if necessary, adjusted befo-
re each ride.
EWA10500
s s
WARNING
The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperatu-
re of the tires equals the
ambient temperature).
The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with
the riding speed and with thetotal weight of rider, passenger,
cargo, and accessories appro-
ved for this model.
EWA11020
s s
WARNING
Because loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking,
performance and safety characte-
ristics of your motorcycle, you
should keep the following precau-
tions in mind.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE
MOTORCYCLE! Operation of
an overloaded motorcycle may
result in tire damage, loss of
control, or severe injury. Make
sure that the total weight of
rider, passenger, cargo, and
accessories does not exceed
the specified maximum load
for the vehicle.
Do not carry along loosely pac-
ked items, which can shift
during a ride.
Securely pack the heaviest
items close to the center of the
motorcycle and distribute the
weight evenly on both sides.
Adjust the suspension and tire
air pressure with regard to the
load.
Check the tire condition and air
pressure before each ride.
Tire air pressure (measured on
cold tires):
Up to 90 kg (198 lb):
Front:
190 kPa (27,02 psi)
(1,9 kgf/cm
2)
Rear:
220 kPa (31,29 psi)

(b) Free play 2 ~ 5 mm
(d) Free play 2 ~ 5 mm
The brake lever free play should mea-
sure 2~5 mm (0,079~0,197 in) as
shown. Periodically check the brake
lever free play and, if necessary, have
a Yamaha dealer adjust it.
EWA10640

WARNING
An incorrect brake lever free play
indicates a hazardous condition in
the brake system. Do not operate
the motorcycle until the brake sys-
tem has been checked or repaired
by a Yamaha dealer.
EAU22340
Checking the front and rear
brake pads
1. Wear limit
The front and rear brake pads must
be checked for wear at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. To check the
brake pad wear, measure the lining
thickness. If the lining thickness is
less than 0,5 mm (0,02 in), have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake
pads as a set.
EAU22580
Checking the brake fluid
level
1. Minimum level
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, possibly
causing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low bra-
ke fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage. If
the brake fluid level is low, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage.
