WARNING
EWA10870


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.

structions prior to operating the ve-hicle for the first time.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, the side-
stand must be up.
WARNING
EWA10290


Before starting the engine,

tion circuit cut-off system ac-
cording to the procedure

EAU16792
Braking 1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.
WARNING
EWA10300


Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the scooter
may skid or overturn.


Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slowdown when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.


Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.


Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-cult.
EAU16820
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:

Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.


Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.


Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
