• Always obey the speed limit
and never travel faster than
warranted by road and traffic
conditions.
• Always signal before turning or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
●The posture of the operator and
passenger is important for proper
control.
• The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the operator foo-
trests during operation to
maintain control of the scooter.
• The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger foo-
trests. Never carry a passenger
unless he or she can firmly pla-
ce both feet on the passenger
footrests.
●Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
●This scooter is designed for on-
road use only. It is not suitable for
off-road use.
Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from scooter
accidents are the result of head inju-
ries. The use of a safety helmet is the
single most critical factor in the pre-
vention or reduction of head injuries.
●Always wear an approved hel-
met.
●Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impair-
ment of vision that could delay
seeing a hazard.
●The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is
effective in preventing or redu-
cing abrasions or lacerations.
●Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on
the control levers or wheels and
cause injury or an accident.
●Always wear protective clothing
that covers your legs, ankles, and
feet. The engine or exhaust sys-
tem become very hot during orafter operation and can cause
burns.
●A passenger should also observe
the above precautions.
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide can cause heada-
ches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,
confusion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless,
odorless, tasteless gas which may be
present even if you do not see or
smell any engine exhaust. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can collect
rapidly and you can quickly be over-
come and unable to save yourself.
Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxi-
de can linger for hours or days in
enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If
you experience any symptoms of car-
bon monoxide poisoning, leave the
area immediately, get fresh air, and
SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.
●Do not run engine indoors. Even
if you try to ventilate engine
exhaust with fans or open win-

Final transmission oil
The final transmission case must be
checked for oil leakage before each
ride. If any leakage is found, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the
scooter. In addition, the final trans-
mission oil must be changed as
follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
1. Start the engine, warm up the
final transmission oil by riding the
scooter for several minutes, and
then stop the engine.
2. Place the scooter on the centers-
tand.
3. Place an oil pan under the final
transmission case to collect the
used oil.
4. Remove the final transmission oil
filler cap and final transmission
drain bolt to drain the oil from the
final transmission case.
1. Final transmission oil filler cap
5. Install the final transmission oil
drain bolt, and then tighten it to
the specified torque.
1. Final transmission oil drain bolt
6. Refill with the specified amount
of the recommended final trans-
mission oil, and then install and
tighten the oil filler cap. WAR-
NING! Make sure that no
foreign material enters the final
transmission case. Make sure
that no oil gets on the tire or
wheel.
[EWA11311]

for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.

WARNING
●Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the
vehicle with excessively worn
tires decreases riding stability
and can lead to loss of control.
●The replacement of all wheel
and brake related parts, inclu-
ding the tires, should be left to
a Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional know-
ledge and experience.
EAU21960
Cast wheels
To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your vehi-
cle, note the following points regar-
ding the specified wheels.
●The wheel rims should be chec-
ked for cracks, bends or warpage
before each ride. If any damage
is found, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair
to the wheel. A deformed or crac-
ked wheel must be replaced.
●The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced.
An unbalanced wheel can result
in poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and a
shortened tire life.
●Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be “broken in” for
it to develop its optimal characte-
ristics.
