TIP
 
 
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.
NOTICE
 
 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.

and then push down on the cap.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to
the original position, and then re-move it.
3. Close the lid.
WARNING
 
EWA11261 
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly installed and locked in
place before riding the scooter. 
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. 
EAU13212 
Fuel  
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
 
EWA10881 
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow 
these instructions.  
1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot 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.

Catalytic converter  
This model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
 
EWA10861 
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns: 
 
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn. 
 
Park the motorcycle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system. 
 
Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work. 
 
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of 
heat.
NOTICE
 
 ECA10701 
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause unre-pairable damage to the catalytic 
converter.

The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance, or for the UK, a
mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead. 
 
From 50000 km (30000 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km (6000 mi). 
 
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and technical

Front and rear brake lever free 
play  
Front

There should be no free play at the
brake lever ends. If there is free play,
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
brake system.
WARNING
 
EWA14211 
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
lever can indicate the presence of air
in the hydraulic system. If there is air
in the hydraulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the vehicle. Air in the
hydraulic system will diminish the
braking performance, which may re-
sult in loss of control and an acci- 
dent. 
EAU33473 
Adjusting the rear brake lock 
lever cable  
Rear brake lock lever cable adjustment
may be required if the rear brake lock
lever does not hold properly. When the
rear brake lock lever is not in use, the
rear brake lock lever cable length
should measure 45 mm to 47 mm (1.77
in to 1.85 in) at the rear brake caliper.
Periodically check the rear brake lock
lever cable length and, if necessary,
adjust it as follows.
To increase the rear brake lock lever
cable length, turn the adjusting nut at
the rear brake caliper in direction (a).

Checking the front and rear 
brake pads  
The front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. 
EAU22410 
Front brake pads 
Each front brake pad is provided with a
wear indicator, which allows you to
check the brake pad wear without hav-
ing to disassemble the brake. To check
the brake pad wear, check the position
of the wear indicator while applying the
brake. If a brake pad has worn to thepoint that the wear indicator almost
touches the brake disc, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the brake pads as a set. 
EAU22493 
Rear brake pads  
1. Remove the rear brake caliper by
removing the bolts.
2. Check each rear brake pad for
damage and measure the lining
thickness. If a brake pad is dam-
aged or if the lining thickness is
less than 0.8 mm (0.03 in), have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake
pads as a set.
3. Install the rear brake caliper by in-

NOTICE
 
 ECA12822 
Do not apply the rear brake or rear
brake lock after the brake caliper
has been removed, otherwise the
brake caliper piston will be forced 
out. 
EAU40260 
Checking the brake fluid level  
Front brake
Rear brake 
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air toenter the brake system, possibly caus-
ing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark and
replenish if necessary. A low brake fluid
level may indicate worn brake pads
and/or brake system leakage. If the
brake fluid level is low, be sure to check
the brake pads for wear and the brake
system for leakage.
Observe these precautions: 
 
When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the brake
fluid reservoir is level. 
 
Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor braking perfor-
mance. 
 
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking performance. 
 
Be careful that water or dust does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir
