Oil change indicator light “z”
1. Oil change indicator
2. Coolant temperature warning light
This indicator light comes on at the
initial 1000 km (600 mi) and every
3000 km (1800 mi) thereafter to indi-cate that the engine oil should be
changed.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator light
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be
indicated at the correct time. (See

The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked according to the
following procedure.
1. Set the engine stop switch to “h”
and turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes
on for a few seconds and then
goes off.
3. If the indicator light does not
come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
NOTE:
The oil change indicator light may
flash when the engine is revved with
the scooter on the centerstand, but
this does not indicate a malfunction.

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.
