Final transmission oilThe final transmission case must be
checked for oil leakage before each
ride. If any leakage is found, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the
scooter. In addition, the final transmis-
sion oil must be changed as follows at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
1. Start the engine, warm it up by
riding the scooter for several mi-
nutes, and then stop the engine.
2. Place the scooter on the
centerstand.3. Place an oil pan under the final
transmission case to collect the
used oil.
4. Remove the oil filler cap and drain
bolt to drain the oil from the final
transmission case.
5. Install the final transmission oil
drain bolt, and then tighten it to
the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Final transmission oil drain bolt:
17 Nm (1.7 m
•kgf)
6. Add the specified amount of the
recommended final transmission
oil, and then install and tighten the
oil filler cap.
Recommended final transmission oil:
See page 8-1.
Oil quantity:
0.11 L

Make sure that no foreign
material enters the final trans-
mission case.
•
Make sure that no oil gets on
7. Check the final transmission case
for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE
7
StorageShort-term
Always store your scooter in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.
ECA00015
•
Storing the scooter in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust.
•
To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strongchemicals are stored.Long-term
Before storing your scooter for several
months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the
"Care" section of this chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float
chamber by loosening the drain
bolt; this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the drained
fuel into the fuel tank.
3. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and the
fuel from deteriorating.
4. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinder, piston rings,
etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug cap
and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine
oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto
the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit
sparking during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.
EWA00003
To prevent damage or injury from
sparking, make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while turningthe engine over.
5. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers and
pedals as well as of the sidestand/
centerstand.
6. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the scooter so that both of its
wheels are off the ground.
Alternatively, turn the wheels a
little every month in order to
prevent the tires from becoming
degraded in one spot.
