Fuel
1. Refill pipe
2. Fuel level
Make sure that there is sufficient fuel
in the tank. When refueling, be sure to
insert the pump nozzle into the fuel
tank filler hole and to fill the tank to
the bottom of the filler tube as shown.
EWA10880
s s
WARNING
Do not overfill the fuel tank,
otherwise it may overflow
when the fuel warms up and
expands.
Avoid spilling fuel on the hot
engine.
ECA10070
CAUTION
Immediately wipe off spilled fuel
with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since
fuel may deteriorate painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.
EAU13270
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.
EAU13460
2-stroke engine oil
Make sure that there is sufficient oil in
the 2-stroke engine oil tank. Add the
recommended 2-stroke engine oil if
necessary.
NOTE:
Make sure that the 2-stroke engine oil
tank cap is properly installed.
Recommended oil:
Yamalube 2 or equivalent 2-stroke
engine oil (JASO grade “FC”, or
ISO grades “EG-C” or “EG-D”)
Oil quantity:
1,4L (0,31 US qt)(1,23 Imp.qt)Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE
ONLY

WARNING
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or func-
tion that you do not thoroughly
understand.
Never start the engine or ope-
rate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of cons-
ciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
For safety, always start the
engine with the centerstand
down.
EAU16560
Starting a cold engineECA10250
CAUTION
See page 5-2 for engine break-in
instructions prior to operating the
vehicle for the first time.
1. Turn the key to “*”, and when the
oil level warning light comes on,
turn it to “ON”.
ECA10240
CAUTION
If the oil level warning light does
not come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
2. Close the throttle completely.
3. While applying the front or rear
brake, start the engine by pus-
hing the start switch or by pus-
hing the kickstarter lever down.
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start by pushing
the start switch, release the switch,
wait a few seconds, and then try
again. Each starting attempt should
be as short as possible to preserve
the battery. Do not crank the engine
more than 5 seconds on any oneattempt. If the engine does not start
with the starter motor, try using the
kickstarter.
ECA11040
CAUTION
For maximum engine life, never
accelerate hard when the engine is
cold!
EAU16760
Starting off
NOTE:
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 centers-
tand.
2. Sit astride the seat, and then
adjust 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.

EAU16780
Acceleration and
deceleration
The speed can be adjusted by ope-
ning and closing the throttle. To incre-
ase the speed, turn the throttle grip in
direction (a). To reduce the speed,
turn the throttle grip in direction (b).
EAU16791
Braking
1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually
increasing the pressure.
EWA10300
s s
WARNING
Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over
to one side), otherwise the sco-
oter may skid or overturn.
Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road cons-
truction 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 bra-
king downhill can be very diffi-
cult.
EAU16830
Engine break-in
There 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 following 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 themsel-
ves to the correct operating clearan-
ces. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAUT1110
0~150 km (0~90 mi)
Avoid operation above 1/3 throttle.
Stop the engine and let it cool for 5 to
10 minutes after every hour of opera-
tion. Vary the speed of the scooterfrom time to time. Do not operate it at
one set throttle position.
150~500 km (90~300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
500~1000 km (300~600 mi)
Avoid cruising speeds in excess of
3/4 throttle.
ECAT1010
CAUTION
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
be sure to replace the final gear oil.
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
Avoid prolonged full throttle opera-
tion. Vary speeds occasionally.
ECA10270
CAUTION
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
EAU17200
Parking
When parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
