SAFETY INFORMATION
9Always signal before turning or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
8The posture of the operator and
passenger is important for proper
control.
9The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the footboard
during operation to maintain
control of the scooter.
9The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger foot-
rests.
9Never carry a passenger unless
he or she can firmly place both
feet on the passenger foot-
rests.
8Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
8This scooter is designed for on-road
use only. It is not suitable for off-
road use.
Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from scooteraccidents are the result of head injuries.
The use of a safety helmet is the single
most critical factor in the prevention or
reduction of head injuries.
8Always wear an approved helmet.
8Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind
in your unprotected eyes could con-
tribute to an impairment of vision
which could delay seeing a hazard.
8The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is
effective in preventing or reducing
abrasions or lacerations.
8Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on the
control levers or wheels and cause
injury or an accident.
8Never touch the engine or exhaust
system during or after operation.
They become very hot and can
cause burns. Always wear protec-
tive clothing that covers your legs,
ankles, and feet.
8Passengers should also observe
the above precautions.

ries to your scooter. Use extra care when
riding a scooter that has added cargo or
accessories. Here are some general
guidelines to follow if loading cargo or

CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. Coolant
EAUT1522
To check the coolant level
The coolant level should be checked as
follows before each ride. In addition, the
coolant must be changed at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
1. Place the vehicle on the
centerstand.NOTE:●
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
●
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.

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.
