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

Checking the throttle grip
free playThe throttle grip free play should mea-
sure 3 ~ 5 mm (0.12 ~ 0.20 in) at the
inner edge of the throttle grip. Periodi-
cally check the throttle grip free play
and, if necessary, have a Yamaha
dealer adjust it.ZAUM00**

The pivoting points of the front and

at the intervals specifi ed in the period-
ic maintenance and lubrication chart.

Checking and lubricating the
cablesThe operation of all control cables
and the condition of the cables should
be checked before each ride, and
the cables and cable ends should be
lubricated if necessary. If a cable is
damaged or does not move smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or re-
place it.
WARNING! Damage to the outer
housing of cables may result in
internal rusting and cause inter-
ference with cable movement.
Replace damaged cables as soon
as possible to prevent unsafe
conditions.
[EWA10711]
Recommended lubricant:
Yamaha Chain and Cable Lube or
engine oil
EAU23114
Checking and lubricating the
throttle grip and cableThe operation of the throttle grip
should be checked before each ride.
In addition, the cable should be lubri-
cated by a Yamaha dealer at the inter-
vals specifi ed in the periodic mainte-
nance chart.
The throttle cable is equipped with a
rubber cover. Make sure that the cov-
er is securely installed. Even though
the cover is installed correctly, it does
not completely protect the cable from
water entry. Therefore, use care not to
pour water directly onto the cover or
cable when washing the vehicle. If the
cable or cover becomes dirty, wipe
clean with a moist cloth.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE
2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and the
fuel from deteriorating.
3. 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 spark-
ing during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap. WARNING!
To prevent damage or injury
from sparking, make sure to
ground the spark plug elec-
trodes while turning the en-gine over.
[EWA10951]
4. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers
and pedals as well as of the
sidestand/centerstand.
5. 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 degraded
in one spot.
6. Cover the muffl er outlet with a
plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering it.
7. 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
place [less than 0 °C (30 °F) or
more than 30 °C (90 °F)]. For
more information on storing the
battery, see page 6-24.
EAU36563
StorageShort-term
Always store your scooter in a cool,
dry place and, if necessary, protect
it against dust with a porous cover.
Be sure the engine and the exhaust
system are cool before covering the
scooter.
ECA10820
NOTICE● Storing the scooter in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust.● To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.
Long-term
Before storing your scooter for several
months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the
“Care” section of this chapter.
