•
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or
function that you do not
thoroughly understand.
•
Never start the engine or
operate it in a closed area for
any length of time. Exhaust fu-
mes are poisonous, and
inhaling them can cause loss of
consciousness and death
within a short time. Always
make sure that there is
adequate ventilation.

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.

If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
