2. While applying the front brake,
push down hard on the handle-
bars several times to check if the
front fork compresses and
rebounds smoothly.
ECA10590
CAUTION:
If any damage is found or the front
fork does not operate smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or
repair it.
EAU23280
Checking the steering
Worn or loose steering bearings may
cause danger. Therefore, the opera-
tion of the steering must be checked
as follows at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart.
1. Place a stand under the engine to
raise the front wheel off the
ground.

WARNING
Securely support the motorcycle so
that there is no danger of it falling
over.
2. Hold the lower ends of the front
fork legs and try to move them
forward and backward. If any freeplay can be felt, have a Yamaha
dealer check or repair the stee-
ring.

Checking the wheel bearings
The front and rear wheel bearings
must be checked at the intervals spe-
cified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. If there is play in the
wheel hub or if the wheel does not
turn smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the wheel bearings.

Battery
The battery is located behind panel A.
(See page 6-6.)
This model is equipped with a sealed-
type (MF) battery, which does not
require any maintenance. There is no
need to check the electrolyte or to
add distilled water.
ECA10620
CAUTION:
Never attempt to remove the bat-
tery cell seals, as this would per-
manently damage the battery.
EWA10760
s s
WARNING
Electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous since it contains
sulfuric acid, which causes
severe burns. Avoid any con-
tact with skin, eyes or clothing
and always shield your eyes
when working near batteries.
In case of contact, administer
the following FIRST AID.
• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.
• INTERNAL: Drink large quan-
tities of water or milk and
immediately call a physician.
• EYES: Flush with water for 15
minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive
hydrogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed spa-
ce.
KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTE-
RIES OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the
battery as soon as possible if it seems
to have discharged. Keep in mind that
the battery tends to discharge more
quickly if the vehicle is equipped with
optional electrical accessories.
To store the battery
1. Battery
1. If the vehicle will not be used for
more than one month, remove
the battery, fully charge it, and
then place it in a cool, dry place.
2. If the battery will be stored for
more than two months, check it
at least once a month and fully
charge it if necessary.

Care
While the open design of a scooter
reveals the attractiveness of the tech-
nology, it also makes it more vulnera-
ble. Rust and corrosion can develop
even if high-quality components are
used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go
unnoticed on a car, however, it
detracts from the overall appearance
of a scooter. Frequent and proper
care does not only comply with the
terms of the warranty, but it will also
keep your scooter looking good,
extend its life and optimize its perfor-
mance.
Before cleaning
1. Cover the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag after the engine has
cooled down.
2. Make sure that all caps and
covers as well as all electrical
couplers and connectors, inclu-
ding the spark plug cap, are
tightly installed.
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,
with a degreasing agent and a
brush, but never apply such pro-ducts onto seals, gaskets and
wheel axles. Always rinse the dirt
and degreaser off with water.
Cleaning
ECA10780
CAUTION:
Avoid using strong acidic whe-
el cleaners, especially on spo-
ked wheels. If such products
are used on hard-to-remove
dirt, do not leave the cleaner on
the affected area any longer
than instructed. Also, tho-
roughly rinse the area off with
water, immediately dry it, and
then apply a corrosion protec-
tion spray.
Improper cleaning can damage
windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic parts. Use
only a soft, clean cloth or spon-
ge with mild detergent and
water to clean plastic.
Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abrasive
cleaning products, solvent orthinner, fuel (gasoline), rust
removers or inhibitors, brake
fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte.
Do not use high-pressure was-
hers or steam-jet cleaners sin-
ce they cause water seepage
and deterioration in the follo-
wing areas: seals (of wheel and
swingarm bearings, fork and
brakes), electric components
(couplers, connectors, instru-
ments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
For scooters equipped with a
windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as
they will cause dulling or scrat-
ching. Some cleaning com-
pounds for plastic may leave
scratches on the windshield.
Test the product on a small hid-
den part of the windshield to
make sure that it does not lea-
ve any marks. If the windshield
is scratched, use a quality
plastic polishing compound
after washing.

WARNING
To prevent damage or injury from
sparking, make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while turning
the engine over.
5. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers
and pedals as well as of the
sidestand/centerstand.
6. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the scooter so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alter-
natively, turn the wheels a little
every month in order to prevent
the tires from becoming degra-
ded in one spot.
7. Cover the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering it.
8. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and charge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in
an excessively cold or warm pla-
ce [less than 0 °C (30 °F) or more
than 30 °C (90 °F)]. For moreinformation on storing the bat-
tery, see page 6-22.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the scooter.
