w● ●● ●
●
Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the scooter
may skid or overturn.
● ●● ●
●
Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.
● ●● ●
●
Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.
● ●● ●
●
Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-
cult.

Periodic maintenance and lubrication chartNOTE:● ●● ●
●
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance, or for the UK, a
mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead.
●
From 30000 km (17500 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 6000 km (3500 mi).
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and techni-
cal skills.

Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the ve-
hicle with excessively worn tires
decreases riding stability and
can lead to loss of control.
● ●● ●
●
The replacement of all wheel andbrake related parts, including the
tires, should be left to a Yamaha
dealer, who has the necessary
professional knowledge and ex-
perience.

Cast wheelsTo maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the following points regard-
ing the specified wheels.●
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends or warpage be-
fore each ride. If any damage is
found, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the wheel. Do not attempt
even the smallest repair to the
wheel. A deformed or cracked
wheel must be replaced.
●
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
●
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be “broken in” for it
to develop its optimal characteris-
tics.

Checking and lubricating the
throttle grip and cableThe operation of the throttle grip should
be checked before each ride. In addi-
tion, the cable should be lubricated at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance chart.
EAU43630
Lubricating the front and rear
brake leversThe pivoting points of the front and rear
brake levers must be lubricated at the
intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart.Recommended lubricant:
Lithium-soap-based grease (all-pur-
pose grease)
The front and rear brake shoes must
be checked for wear at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. Each brake is pro-
vided with a wear indicator, which al-
lows you to check the brake shoe wear
without having to disassemble the
brake. To check the brake shoe wear,
check the position of the wear indicator
while applying the brake. If a brake shoe
has worn to the point that the wear indi-
cator reaches the wear limit line, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake
shoes as a set.
