Since the storage compartment
may get wet while the scooter is
being washed, wrap any articles
stored in the compartment in a
plastic bag.
Do not keep anything valuable
or breakable in the storage com-
partment.
WARNING
EWAT1050
Do not exceed the load limit of
5 kg (11 lb) for the rear storage
compartment.
Do not exceed the maximum
load of 172 kg (379 lb) for the ve-
hicle.
EAU15301
Sidestand
The sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
vehicle upright.
NOTE:
The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See further down for an explanation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system.)
WARNING
EWA10240
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the side-
stand cannot be properly moved up(or does not stay up), otherwise the
sidestand could contact the ground
and distract the operator, resulting
in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off
system has been designed to assist
the operator in fulfilling the respon-
sibility of raising the sidestand be-
fore starting off. Therefore, check
this system regularly as described
below and have a Yamaha dealer re-
pair it if it does not function proper-
ly.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU15980
WARNING
EWA10870
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer re-
garding any control or function
that you do not thoroughly un-
derstand.
Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
For safety, always start the en-
gine with the centerstand down.
EAUT1861
Starting the engine
CAUTION:
ECA10250
See page 5-3 for engine break-in in-
structions prior to operating the ve-
hicle for the first time.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, the side-
stand must be up.
WARNING
EWA10290
Before starting the engine,
check the function of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system ac-
cording to the procedure
described on page 3-12.
Never ride with the sidestand
down.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
CAUTION:
ECAT1040
The engine trouble warning light
should come on for a few seconds,
then go off. If the warning light does
not go off, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
2. Close the throttle completely.3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the front
or rear brake.
NOTE:
If the engine does not start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to pre-
serve the battery. Do not crank the en-
gine more than 5 seconds on any one
attempt. If the engine does not start
with the starter motor, try using the
kickstarter.
CAUTION:
ECA11040
For maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine is
cold!

Replacing the fuses
The main fuse box is located above the
battery.
The fuse box, which contains the fuses
for the individual circuits, is located in
the storage compartment. (See
page 3-10.)If a fuse is blown, replace it as follows.
1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off
the electrical circuit in question.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and then
install a new fuse of the specified
amperage.
CAUTION:
ECAT1061
Do not use a fuse of a higher
amperage rating than recom-
mended to avoid causing exten-
sive damage to the electrical
system and possibly a fire.
After removing and installing
the main fuse, be sure to turn
the main switch from “ON” to
“OFF” three times in 3 seconds
intervals to initialize the idle
speed control system.
3. Turn the key to “ON” and turn on
the electrical circuit in question to
check if the device operates.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha scooters receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur dur-
ing 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 your-
self. However, should your scooter re-
quire any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the scooter prop-
erly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look like
Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-
or, have a shorter service life and can
lead to expensive repair bills.
