2008 YAMAHA JOG50R air condition

• Always obey the speed limit
and never travel faster than
warranted by road and traffic
conditions.
• Always signal before turning or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
●The posture of the operator and
passenger is important for proper
control.
• The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the footboard
during operation to maintain
control of the scooter.
• The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger footrests.
• Never carry a passenger
unless he or she can firmly pla-
ce both feet on the passenger
footrests.
●Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
●This scooter is designed for on-
road use only. It is not suitable for
off-road use.Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from scooter
accidents are the result of head inju-
ries. The use of a safety helmet is the
single most critical factor in the pre-
vention or reduction of head injuries.
●Always wear an approved hel-
met.
●Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impair-
ment of vision which could delay
seeing a hazard.
●The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is
effective in preventing or redu-
cing abrasions or lacerations.
●Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on
the control levers or wheels and
cause injury or an accident.
●Never touch the engine or
exhaust system during or after
operation. They become very hot
and can cause burns. Always
wear protective clothing that
covers your legs, ankles, and
feet.
●Passengers should also observe
the above precautions.
Modifications
Modifications made to this scooter
not approved by Yamaha, or the
removal of original equipment, may
render the scooter unsafe for use and
may cause severe personal injury.
Modifications may also make your
scooter illegal to use.
Loading and accessories
Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution
of the scooter is changed. To avoid
the possibility of an accident, use
extreme caution when adding cargo
or accessories to your scooter. Use
extra care when riding a scooter that
has added cargo or accessories. Here
are some general guidelines to follow
if loading cargo or adding accessories
to your scooter:
Loading
The total weight of the operator, pas-
senger, accessories and cargo must
not exceed the maximum load limit.

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

Safety is an obligation of the owner.
Periodic inspection, adjustment and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most efficient condi-
tion possible. The most important
points of inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication are explained on the follo-
wing pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart
should be simply considered as a
general guide under normal riding
conditions. However, DEPENDING
ON THE WEATHER, TERRAIN, GEO-
GRAPHICAL LOCATION, AND INDIVI-
DUAL USE, THE MAINTENANCE
INTERVALS MAY NEED TO BE
SHORTENED.

Checking the spark plug
1. Spark plug gap
The spark plug is an important engine
component, which should be chec-
ked periodically, preferably by a
Yamaha dealer. Since heat and depo-
sits will cause any spark plug to
slowly erode, it should be removed
and checked in accordance with the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the
spark plug can reveal the condition of
the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the
center electrode of the spark plug
should be a medium-to-light tan (the
ideal color when the vehicle is riddennormally). If the spark plug shows a
distinctly different color, the engine
could be operating improperly. Do not
attempt to diagnose such problems
yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.
If the spark plug shows signs of elec-
trode erosion and excessive carbon
or other deposits, it should be repla-
ced.
Before installing a spark plug, the
spark plug gap should be measured
with a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the
spark plug threads.
Spark plug gap:
0.6-0.7 mm (0.024-0.028 in)
Specified spark plug:
BR8HS/NGK (for CS50 CS50Z)
BPR4HS/NGK (for CS50M)

Tires
To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your vehi-
cle, note the following points regar-
ding the specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be chec-
ked and, if necessary, adjusted befo-
re each ride.

WARNING
●The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperatu-
re of the tires equals the
ambient temperature).
●The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with
the riding speed and with the
total weight of rider, passenger,
cargo, and accessories appro-
ved for this model.EWA11200

WARNING
Because loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking,
performance and safety characte-
ristics of your vehicle, you should
keep the following precautions in
mind.
●NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHI-
CLE! Operation of an overloa-
ded vehicle may result in tire
damage, loss of control, or
severe injury. Make sure that
the total weight of rider, pas-
senger, cargo, and accessories
does not exceed the specified
maximum load for the vehicle.
●Do not carry along loosely pac-
ked items, which can shift
during a ride.
●Securely pack the heaviest
items close to the center of the
vehicle and distribute the
weight evenly on both sides.
●Adjust the tire air pressure with
regard to the load.
●Check the tire condition and air
pressure before each ride.
