Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:•
Thoroughly warm up the engine.
•
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
•
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
•
Turn the engine off instead of
letting it idle for an extended
length of time (e.g., in traffic jams,
at traffic lights or at railroad
crossings).
EAU00436
Engine break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1,000 km. 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
1,000 km. The various parts in the
engine wear and polish themselves to
the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-
throttle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating must
be avoided.
EAUT0003*
0 - 150 km
Avoid operation above 1/3 throttle. Stop
the engine and let it cool for 5 to 10
minutes after every hour of operation.
Vary the speed of the scooter from time
to time. Do not operate it at one set
throttle position.150 - 500 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
500 - 1,000 km
Avoid cruising speeds in excess of 3/4
throttle.
ECAT0001*
After 1,000 km of operation, be sureto replace the final transmission oil.
1,000 km and beyond
Avoid prolonged full throttle operation.
Vary speeds occasionally.
EC000049
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.

Checking the spark plugThe spark plug is an important engine
component, which should be checked
periodically, preferably by a Yamaha
dealer. Since heat and deposits will
cause any spark plug to slowly erode,
it should be removed and checked in
accordance with the periodic mainte-
nance 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 scooter is ridden
normally). 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 scooter.
If the spark plug shows signs of
electrode erosion and excessive
carbon or other deposits, it should be
replaced.
Specified spark plug:
BR8HS (NGK)
or BR9HS (NGK)
Before installing a spark plug, the spark
plug gap should be measured with a
wire thickness gauge and, if necessary,
adjusted to specification.
Spark plug gap:
0.5 - 0.7 mmClean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and then
wipe off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
20 Nm (2.0 m
•kg)
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. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to thespecified torque as soon as possible.

Replacing a headlight bulb1. Remove front cover by removing
the screws.
2. Remove the headlight coupler.3. Remove the headlight bulb holder
by turning it 1/4 turn
counterclockwise.
4. Remove the defective bulb.

Headlight bulbs get very hot.
Therefore, keep flammable products
away from a lit headlight bulb, and
do not touch the bulb until it hascooled down.
5. Place a new headlight bulb into
position, and then secure it with
the bulb holder.

Do not touch the glass part of the
headlight bulb to keep it free from
oil, otherwise the transparency of
the glass, the luminosity of the bulb,
and the bulb life will be adversely
affected. Thoroughly clean off any
dirt and fingerprints on the headlight
bulb using a cloth moistened withalcohol or thinner.

TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha scooters receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems,
for example, can cause poor starting
and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting chart
represents a quick and easy procedure
for checking these vital systems
yourself. However, should your scoo-
ter require any repair, take it to a
Yamaha dealer, whose skilled
technicians have the necessary tools,
experience, and know-how to service
the scooter properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replacement
parts. Imitation parts may look like
Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE
7
•
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, instruments,
switches and lights), breather
hoses and vents.
•
For scooters equipped with a
windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as
they will cause dulling or
scratching. Some cleaning
compounds for plastic may
leave scratches on the
windshield. Test the product on
a small hidden part of the
windshield to make sure that it
does not leave any marks. If the
windshield is scratched, use a
quality plastic polishingcompound after washing.
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild
detergent, and a soft, clean sponge,
and then rinse thoroughly with clean
water. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush
for hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt
and insects will come off more easily if
the area is covered with a wet cloth for
a few minutes before cleaning.After riding in the rain, near the seaor on salt-sprayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the
roads during winter are extremely cor-
rosive in combination with water, carry
out the following steps after each ride
in the rain, near the sea or on salt-
sprayed roads.NOTE :
Salt sprayed on roads in the winter mayremain well into spring.1. Clean the scooter with cold water
and a mild detergent after the
engine has cooled down.
ECA00012
Do not use warm water since it
increases the corrosive action of thesalt.
2. Apply a corrosion protection spray
on all metal, including chrome-
and nickel-plated, surfaces to
prevent corrosion.
