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.
EWA10500
s s
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
s s
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.
Tire air pressure (measured on
cold tires):
0~90 kg (0~198 lb):
Front:
175 kPa (25 psi) (1.75 kgf/cm
2)
Rear:
200 kPa (28 psi) (2.00 kgf/cm
2)
CS50/CS50M 90~169 kg
(198~373 lb)
CS50Z 90~166 kg (198~366 lb):
Front:
175 kPa (25 psi) (1.75 kgf/cm
2)
Rear:
225 kPa (32 psi) (2.25 kgf/cm

Maximum load*:
CS50/CS50M 169 kg (373 lb)

1. Tire tread depth
2. Tire sidewall
Tire inspection
The tires must be checked before
each ride. If the center tread depth
reaches the specified limit, if the tire
has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if
the sidewall is cracked, have a Yama-
ha dealer replace the tire immediately.
NOTE:
The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always
comply with the local regulations.
Tire information
This model is equipped with tubeless
tires.
EWA10470
s s
WARNING
●Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the
vehicle with excessively worn
tires decreases riding stability
and can lead to loss of control.
●The replacement of all wheel
and brake related parts, inclu-
ding the tires, should be left to
a Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional know-
ledge and experience.
EAU21960
Cast wheels
To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your vehi-
cle, note the following points regar-
ding the specified wheels.
●The wheel rims should be chec-
ked for cracks, bends or warpage
before each ride. If any damage
is found, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair
to the wheel. A deformed or crac-
ked wheel must be replaced.
●The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced.
An unbalanced wheel can result
in poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and a
shortened tire life.
●Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be “broken in” for
it to develop its optimal characte-
ristics.

6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the scooter dry completely
before storing or covering it.
EWA10940
s s
WARNING
●Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires. If
necessary, clean the brake
discs and brake linings with a
regular brake disc cleaner or
acetone, and wash the tires
with warm water and a mild
detergent.
●Before operating the scooter
test its braking performance
and cornering behavior.
ECA10800
CAUTION:
●Apply spray oil and wax spa-
ringly and make sure to wipe
off any excess.
●Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.
●Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.
NOTE:
Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice
on what products to use.
EAU26300
Storage
Short-term
Always store your scooter in a cool,
dry place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.
ECA10820
CAUTION:
●Storing the scooter in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust.
●To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.
Long-term
Before storing your scooter for seve-
ral months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the
“Care” section of this chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float cham-
ber by loosening the drain bolt;
this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the drai-
ned fuel into the fuel tank.

3. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and the
fuel from deteriorating.
4. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinder, piston rings,
etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug cap and
spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil
into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto
the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit sparking
during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap from
the spark plug, and then install
the spark plug and the spark plug
cap.EWA10950
s s
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 ºC (30 ºF) or more
than 30 ºC (90 ºF)]. For moreinformation on storing the bat-
tery, see page 6-19.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the scooter.
