Fuel tank capacity:
4.5 L (1.19 US gal) (0.99 Imp.gal)
ECA11400
cCUse only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.Your Yamaha engine has been designed
to use regular unleaded gasoline with a
research octane number of 91 or higher.
If knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a
gasoline of a different brand or premium
unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EWA10870
w● ●● ●
●
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 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.
Starting the engine
EAUT2250
Starting the engine
ECA10250
cCSee page 5-3 for engine break-in in-
structions prior to operating the ve-
hicle for the first time.1. Turn the key to “ON”.
ECAT1070
cCThe engine trouble warning light and
coolant temperature warning light
should come on for a few seconds,
then go off. If these warning lights
do not go off, have a Yamaha dealer
check their electrical circuits.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.
ECA11040
cCFor maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine is
cold!

Starting offNOTE:
Before starting off, allow the engine to
warm up.1. While pulling the rear brake lever
with your left hand and holding the
grab bar with your right hand, push
the scooter off the centerstand.
2. Sit astride the seat, and then ad-
just the rear view mirrors.
3. Switch the turn signal on.
4. Check for oncoming traffic, and
then slowly turn the throttle grip (on
the right) in order to take off.
5. Switch the turn signal off. Starting off

(a) (b)
The speed can be adjusted by opening
and closing the throttle. To increase the
speed, turn the throttle grip in direction
(a). To reduce the speed, turn the throttle
grip in direction (b).
EAU16792
Braking1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.
EWA10300
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.

Engine break-in
Parking
EAU16830
Engine break-inThere 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-throttle
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.
ECA10350
cCAfter 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.
ECA10270
cCIf any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

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.
