Valve clearance
The valve clearance changes with
use, resulting in improper air-fuel mix-
ture and/or engine noise. To prevent
this from occurring, the valve clearan-
ce must be adjusted by a Yamaha
dealer at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.

Tires
To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your vehi-
cle, note the following points regar-
ding the specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be chec-
ked and, if necessary, adjusted befo-
re each ride.

WARNING
Operation of this vehicle with
improper tire pressure may cause
severe injury or death from loss of

WARNING
Never overload your vehicle. Ope-
ration of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.
Tire inspection
1. Tire tread depth
2. Tire sidewall
The tires must be checked before
each ride. If the center tread depth
reaches the specified limit, if the tire
has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if
the sidewall is cracked, have a Yama-
ha dealer replace the tire immediately.
TIP
The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always
comply with the local regulations.

3. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and the
fuel from deteriorating.
4. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinder, piston rings,
etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug cap
and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine
oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap
onto the spark plug, and then
place the spark plug on the
cylinder head so that the
electrodes are grounded.
(This will limit sparking during
the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This
will coat the cylinder wall with
oil.) WARNING! To prevent
damage or injury from spar-
king, make sure to ground
the spark plug electrodes
while turning the engine
over.
[EWA10951]
e. Remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug, and theninstall the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.
5. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers
and pedals as well as of the
sidestand/centerstand.
6. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the scooter so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alter-
natively, turn the wheels a little
every month in order to prevent
the tires from becoming degra-
ded in one spot.
7. Cover the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering it.
8. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and charge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in
an excessively cold or warm pla-
ce [less than 0 °C (30 °F) or more
than 30 °C (90 °F)]. For more
information on storing the bat-
tery, see page 6-24.
TIP
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the scooter.
