Engine oil
The engine oil level should be chec-
ked before each ride. In addition, the
oil must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart
and when the oil change indicator
display comes on.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the scooter on the centers-
tand.
NOTE:
Make sure that the scooter is positio-
ned straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt to the side can result
in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
1. Engine oil filler cap
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil
settles, remove the oil filler cap,
wipe the dipstick clean, insert it
back into the oil filler hole (wit-
hout screwing it in), and then
remove it again to check the oil
level.
1. Engine oil filler cap
2. Dipstick
3. Maximum level mark
4. Minimum level mark
NOTE:
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to rai-
se it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.

2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and the engine oil drain bolt to
drain the oil from the crankcase.
1. Engine oil drain bolt
2. Washer
4. Check the washer for damage
and replace it if necessary.
5. Install the washer and the engine
oil drain bolt, and then tighten the
drain bolt to the specified torque.
NOTE:
Make sure that the washer is properly
seated.
6. Add the specified amount of the
recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil
filler cap.

CAUTION:
Do not use oils with a diesel
specification of “CD” or oils of
a higher quality than specified.
In addition, do not use oils
labeled “ENERGY CONSER-
VING II” or higher.
Be sure no foreign material
enters the crankcase.
7. Start the engine, and then let it
idle for several minutes while
checking it for oil leakage. If oil is
leaking, immediately turn the
engine off and check for the cau-
se.
8. Reset the oil change indicator
display according to the follo-
wing procedure.
To reset the oil change indicator
display
1. Push and hold the "TRIP" button
for a MAXIMUM of three
seconds. While pushing the
"TRIP" button, turn the key to
"f".

WARNING
Make sure that no foreign
material enters the final trans-
mission case.
Make sure that no oil gets on
the tire or wheel.
7. Check the final transmission case
for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU20101
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on the centers-
tand.
NOTE:
The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
1. Maximum level mark
2. Minimum level mark
2. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.
NOTE:
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
Recommended final transmission
oil:
See page 8-1.
Oil quantity:
0.15 L (0.16 US qt) (0.88 Imp.qt)

when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
Brake fluid may deteriorate pain-
ted surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if
the brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.
EAU22720
Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the NOTE after the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addi-
tion, have the oil seals of the brake
master cylinder and caliper as well as
the brake hose replaced at the inter-
vals listed below or whenever they are
damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
Brake hose: Replace every four
years.
EAU23100
Checking and lubricating the
cables
The operation of all control cables
and the condition of the cables
should be checked before each ride,
and the cables and cable ends should
be lubricated if necessary. If a cable is
damaged or does not move smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or repla-
ce it.
EWA10720

WARNING
Damage to the outer sheath may
interfere with proper cable opera-
tion and will cause the inner cable
to rust. Replace a damaged cable
as soon as possible to prevent
unsafe conditions.
