Your Yamaha engine has been desig-
ned 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 extend spark
plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.

CAUTION
Keep the following points in mind
when using the storage compart-
ment.
Since the storage compart-
ment accumulates heat when
exposed to the sun, do not sto-
re anything susceptible to heat
inside it.
To avoid humidity from sprea-
ding through the storage com-
partment, wrap wet articles in
a plastic bag before storing
them in the compartment.
Since the storage compart-
ment may get wet while the
scooter is being washed, wrap
any articles stored in the com-
partment in a plastic bag.
Do not keep anything valuable
or breakable in the storage
compartment.
To store a helmet in the storage com-
partment, place the helmet upside-
down with the front facing forward.
NOTE:
Some helmets cannot be stored
in the storage compartment
because of their size or shape.
Do not leave your scooter unat-
tended with the seat open.

The condition of a vehicle is the
owner’s responsibility. Vital compo-
nents can start to deteriorate quickly
and unexpectedly, even if the vehicle
remains unused (for example, as a
result of exposure to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leakage or loss of
tire air pressure could have serious
consequences. Therefore, it is very
important, in addition to a thorough
visual inspection, to check the follo-
wing points before each ride.
NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be
made each time the vehicle is used.
Such an inspection can be accom-
plished in a very short time; and the
added safety it assures is more than
worth the time involved.

If any item in the Pre-operation
