SAFETY INFORMATION
1-2
1

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 place 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 preven-
tion or reduction of head injuries.

Always wear an approved helmet.

Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impairment
of vision which could delay seeing
a hazard.

The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is ef-
fective in preventing or reducing
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 protec-
tive clothing that covers your legs,
ankles, and feet.

Passengers should also observe
the above precautions.
Modifications
Modifications made to this scooter notapproved 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 accesso-
ries 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.

Maximum load:
190 kg (419 lb)

EAU43020
Engine trouble warning light “”
This warning light comes on when an
electrical circuit monitoring the engine
is defective. When this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the self-diagno-
sis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. If the warning light does not come
on for a few seconds, then go off, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
NOTE:

This warning light will come on when
the key is turned to “ON” and the start
switch is pushed, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
EAU43030
ABS warning light “” (for ABS
models)
CAUTION:

ECA10830
If the ABS warning light comes on orflashes while riding, the ABS may be
defective. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
See page 3-14 for an explanation of the
ABS.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by setting the engine
stop switch to “” and turning the key
to “ON”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off. If
the warning light does not come on or
remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
WARNING

EWA11350
When the ABS warning light comes
on or flashes while riding, the brake
system reverts to conventional brak-
ing. Therefore, be careful not to
cause the wheel to lock during emer-
gency braking.
NOTE:

The ABS warning light may come on
while accelerating the engine with the
scooter on its centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
EAU38620
Immobilizer system indicator light
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”.
If the indicator light does not come on
for a few seconds, then go off, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the immobiliz-
er system. (See page 3-10 for an expla-
nation of the self-diagnosis device.)

Rear brake lock lever
This vehicle is equipped with a rear
brake lock lever to prevent the rear
wheel from moving while stopped at
traffic signals, railroad crossings, etc.
To lock the rear wheel
Push the rear brake lock lever to the left
until it snaps into place.
To unlock the rear wheel
Push the rear brake lock lever back to
the original position.
NOTE:


Be sure to check that the rear
wheel does not move when therear brake lock lever is applied.

To provide secure locking of the
rear wheel, apply the rear brake le-
ver first before moving the rear
brake lock lever to the left.
WARNING

EWA12361
Never move the rear brake lock lever
to the left while the vehicle is mov-
ing, otherwise loss of control or an
accident may result. Make sure that
the vehicle is stopped before mov-
ing the rear brake lock lever to the
left.
EAU12993
ABS (for ABS models)
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS
securely controls wheel lockup during
emergency braking on changing road
surfaces and under various weather
conditions, thereby maximizing tire ad-
hesion and performance while provid-
ing a smooth braking action. The ABS
is monitored by an ECU (Electronic
Control Unit), which will have recourse
to manual braking if a malfunction oc-
curs.
WARNING

EWA10090

The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.

On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehi-
cle ahead to match the riding
speed.

NOTE:


The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test for a few seconds each
time the vehicle first starts off after
the main switch was turned on.
During this test, a “clicking” noise
can be heard from the front of the
vehicle, and if either brake lever is
even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever, but these
do not indicate a malfunction.

When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake levers, but this does
not indicate a malfunction.

This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake levers when
the ABS is operating. However,
special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er when performing this test.
CAUTION:

ECA16120
Keep any type of magnets (including
magnetic pick-up tools, magneticscrewdrivers, etc.) away from the
front and rear wheel hubs, otherwise
the magnetic rotors equipped in the
wheel hubs may be damaged, result-
ing in improper performance of the
ABS system.

Fuel tank cap
To remove the fuel tank cap
1. Open the lid by pulling the lever up.
2. Insert the key into the lock and turn
it clockwise. The lock will be re-
leased and the fuel tank cap can

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU15970
WARNING

EWA11250

Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer re-
garding any control or function
that you do not thoroughly un-
derstand.

Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.

For safety, always start the en-
gine with the centerstand down.

When the centerstand is down
and the engine is idling, keep
your hands and feet away from
the rear wheel.
EAU45310
NOTE:

This model is equipped with a lean an-
gle sensor to stop the engine in case of
a turnover. To start the engine after a
turnover, be sure to turn the main
switch to “OFF” and then to “ON”. Fail-
ing to do so will prevent the engine from
starting even though the engine will
crank when pushing the start switch.
EAU36510

system to enable starting, the side-
stand must be up.
WARNING

EWA10290

check the function of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system ac-
cording to the procedure
described on page 3-22.
