sparks, open flames, or other
sources of ignition such as the pi-
lot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop
filling when the fuel reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up, heat
from the engine or the sun can
cause fuel to spill out of the fuel
tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately.
NOTICE:
Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may dete-
riorate painted surfaces or plas-
tic parts.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.

WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
by mouth. If you should swallowsome gasoline or inhale a lot of gaso-
line vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.

REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE
ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
4.5 L (1.19 US gal) (0.99 Imp.gal)
ECA11400
NOTICEUse only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts, such
as the valves and piston rings, as well
as to the exhaust system.Your Yamaha engine has been designed
to use regular unleaded gasoline with a
research octane number of 91 or higher.

Starting the engine
EAU15951
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If there
is a control or function you do not un-
derstand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
EWA10271
WARNING
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which could cause an accident
or injury.
EAU45310
TIP
This model is equipped with a lean angle
sensor to stop the engine in case of a
turnover. To start the engine after a turn-
over, be sure to turn the main switch to
“OFF” and then to “ON”. Failing to do so
will prevent the engine from starting
even though the engine will crank when
pushing the start switch.

NOTICESee page 5-3 for engine break-in in-
structions prior to operating the ve-
hicle for the first time.1. Turn the key to “ON”.
ECAT1070
NOTICEThe engine trouble warning light and
coolant temperature warning light
should come on for a few seconds,
then go off. If these warning lights do
not go off, have a Yamaha dealer check
their electrical circuits.2. Close the throttle completely.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the front
or rear brake.
NOTICE:
For maxi-
mum engine life, never acceler-
ate hard when the engine is
cold!
[ECA11041]
If the engine does not start, release
the start switch, wait a few sec-
onds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as short
as possible to preserve the battery.
Do not crank the engine more than
5 seconds on any one attempt. If
the engine does not start with the
starter motor, try using the
kickstar ter.

WARNING
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the area,
including pilot lights from water heat-
ers or furnaces. Gasoline or gasoline
vapors can ignite or explode, caus-
ing severe injury or property damage.
EAU25881
TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha scooters receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur dur-
ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,
compression, or ignition systems, for
example, can cause poor starting and
loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts rep-
resent quick and easy procedures for
checking these vital systems yourself.
However, should your scooter require any
repair, take it to a Yamaha dealer, whose
skilled technicians have the necessary
tools, experience, and know-how to ser-
vice the scooter properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replacement
parts. Imitation par ts may look like
Yamaha parts, but they are often infe-
rior, have a shorter service life and can
lead to expensive repair bills. Troubleshooting
