PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
To install the spark plug
1. Measure the spark plug gap with a
wire thickness gauge and, if nec-
essary, adjust the gap to specifi-
cation.Spark plug gap:
0.7 ~ 0.8 mm (0.028 ~ 0.031 in)2. Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the
spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug with the spark
plug wrench, and then tighten it to
the specified torque.Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4~1/2 turn past
finger tight. However, the spark plug
should be tightened to the specified
torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Install the panel.

Engine oil and oil strainerThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil must
be changed and the oil strainer cleaned
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the
centerstand.NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt to the side can result in a
false reading.2. Start the engine, warm it up for sev-
eral minutes, and then turn it off. Engine oil

Final transmission oilThe final transmission case must be
checked for oil leakage before each ride.
If any leakage is found, have a Yamaha
dealer check and repair the scooter. In
addition, the final transmission oil must
be changed as follows at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
1. Start the engine, warm it up by
riding the scooter for several min-
utes, and then stop the engine.
2. Place the scooter on the
centerstand.
3. Place an oil pan under the final
transmission case to collect the

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-

Checking and lubricating the
centerstandThe operation of the centerstand should
be checked before each ride, and the
pivots and metal-to-metal contact sur-
faces should be lubricated if necessary.

wIf the centerstand does not move up
and down smoothly, have a Yamaha
dealer check or repair it.Recommended lubricant:
Lithium-soap-based grease (all-pur-
pose grease)
