WARNING
●Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or func-
tion that you do not thoroughly
understand.
●Never start the engine or ope-
rate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of cons-
ciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
●For safety, always start the
engine with the centerstand
down.

Starting the engineECA10250
CAUTION:
See page 5-4 for engine break-in
instructions prior to operating the
vehicle for the first time.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, the sides-
tand must be up.

WARNING
●Before starting the engine,
check the function of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system
according to the procedure

Braking
1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually
increasing the pressure.
EWA10300
s s
WARNING
●Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over
to one side), otherwise the sco-
oter may skid or overturn.
●Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road cons-
truction 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 bra-
king downhill can be very diffi-
cult.
EAU16820
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follo-
wing 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 cros-
sings).

WARNING
Headlight bulbs get very hot. The-
refore, keep flammable products
away from a lit headlight bulb, and
do not touch the bulb until it has
cooled down.
4. Place a new headlight bulb into
position, and then secure it with
the bulb holder.
1. Do not touch the glass part of the bulb
ECA10650
CAUTION:
Take care not to damage the follo-
wing parts:
●Headlight bulb
Do not touch the glass part of
the headlight bulb to keep it
free from oil, otherwise the
transparency of the glass, the
luminosity of the bulb, and the
bulb life will be adversely affec-
ted. Thoroughly clean off any
dirt and fingerprints on the
headlight bulb using a cloth
moistened with alcohol or thin-
ner.
