SAFETY INFORMATION

Take care not to spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust
system when refueling.
Never refuel while smoking or in
the vicinity of an open flame.
Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
scooter in an area that has ade-
quate ventilation.
Always turn the engine off before
leaving the scooter unattended
and remove the key from the main
switch. When parking the scooter,
note the following:
The engine and exhaust system
may be hot, therefore, park the
scooter in a place where pedes-
trians or children are not likely to
touch these hot areas.
Do not park the scooter on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise it
may fall over.
Do not park the scooter near a
flammable source (e.g., a kero-sene heater, or near an open
flame), otherwise it could catch
fire.
If you should swallow any gaso-
line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immediate-
ly. If any gasoline spills on your
skin or clothing, immediately wash
the affected area with soap and
water and change your clothes.

NOTE:
When the key is turned to “ON”, all
segments of the display come on
for a few seconds. During this
time, the multi-function display is
performing a self-test.
Be sure to turn the key to “ON” be-
fore using the “SELECT” and “RE-
SET” buttons.
Odometer, tripmeter and oil change
tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switches
the display among the odometer mode
“ODO”, the tripmeter mode “TRIP” and
the oil change tripmeter “OIL CHANGE

NOTE:
If the odometer indicates “-----”, have a
Yamaha dealer check the multi-func-

Tripmeter
To reset the tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “TRIP” is
displayed, and then push the “RESET”
button at least 1 second.
NOTE:
If the tripmeter indicates “-----”, have a
Yamaha dealer check the multi-func-

Oil change tripmeter
To reset the oil change tripmeter, select
it by pushing the “SELECT” button until
“OIL CHANGE TRIP” is displayed, and
then push the “RESET” button at least
3 seconds. After resetting the oil
change tripmeter, “ODO” will be dis-
played.
NOTE:
If the “SELECT” button is pushed again
or the “SELECT” button hasn’t been
pushed within 10 seconds, the oil
change tripmeter will keep counting
and “ODO” will be displayed.
Oil change indicator
Oil change indicator “”
This indicator flashes at the initial 1000
km (600 mi), then at every 3000 km
(1800 mi) thereafter to indicate that the
engine oil should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change tripmeter.
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator flashes (i.e. before
the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the oil change tripmeter
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be indi-
cated at the correct time.
NOTE:
If the oil change tripmeter is reset
before the initial 1000 km (600 mi),

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
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 follow-
ing 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 engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU16950
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.
CAUTION:
ECA10350
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
the engine oil must be changed and
the oil strainer cleaned.
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation.
Vary the speed occasionally.
CAUTION:
ECA10270
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

4. Clean the oil strainer with solvent,
and then check it for damage and
replace it if necessary.
5. Check the O-ring for damage and
replace it if necessary.
6. Install the oil strainer, spring,O-ring and engine oil drain bolts,
and then tighten the drain bolts to
the specified torque.
NOTE:
Make sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.
7. Add the specified amount of the
recommended engine oil, and then
install and tighten the engine oil fill-
er cap.
CAUTION:
ECA11670
Do not use oils with a diesel
specification of “CD” or oils of a
higher quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” orhigher.
Be sure no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.
8. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, im-
mediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
9. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
10. Reset the oil change tripmeter.
(See page 3-2 for reset proce-
dures.)
NOTE:
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator flashes (i.e. before
the periodic oil change interval has
been reached), the oil change tripmeter
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be indi-
cated at the correct time.
