SCOOTERS ARE SINGLE TRACK
VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND
OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT
UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING
TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE
EXPERTISE OF THE OPERATOR.
EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW
THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE RIDING THIS SCOOTER.
HE OR SHE SHOULD:
OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-
TIONS FROM A COMPETENT
SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF
SCOOTER OPERATION.
OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND
MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-
MENTS IN THE OWNER’S
MANUAL.
OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING
IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING
TECHNIQUES.
OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-
NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED
BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL
AND/OR WHEN MADE NECES-
SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI-
TIONS.Safe riding
Always make pre-operation
checks. Careful checks may help
prevent an accident.
This scooter is designed to carry
the operator and passenger.
NOTE:
Although this scooter is designed to
carry a passenger, always comply
with the local regulations.
The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize scooters in traffic
is the predominating cause of
automobile/scooter accidents.
Many accidents have been cau-
sed by an automobile driver who
did not see the scooter. Making
yourself conspicuous appears to
be very effective in reducing the
chance of this type of accident.
Therefore:
• Wear a brightly colored jacket.
• Use extra caution when appro-
aching and passing through
intersections, since intersec-
tions are the most likely places
for scooter accidents to occur.• Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in anot-
her motorist’s blind spot.
Many accidents involve inexpe-
rienced operators. In fact, many
operators who have been invol-
ved in accidents do not even
have a current driver’s license.
• Make sure that you are quali-
fied and that you only lend your
scooter to other qualified ope-
rators.
• Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
• We recommend that you prac-
tice riding your scooter where
there is no traffic until you have
become thoroughly familiar
with the scooter and all of its
controls.
Many accidents have been cau-
sed by error of the scooter ope-
rator. A typical error made by the
operator is veering wide on a turn
due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or
under cornering (insufficient lean
angle for the speed).
• Always obey the speed limit

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.

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

There is a storage compartment
under the seat. (See page 3-6.)
EWA10960

WARNING
Do not exceed the load limit of
3,5 kg (7,4 lb) for the storage
compartment.
Do not exceed the maximum
load of 158kg (348,4lb) CS50Z
or 161kg (355lb) CS50 for the
vehicle.
ECA10080
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.
EWA11150

WARNING
If any item in the Pre-operation
check list is not working properly,
have it inspected and repaired
before operating the vehicle.
