vicinity of sparks, open fl ames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfi ll the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank fi ll-
er hole. Stop fi lling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the fi ller
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 im-
mediately.
NOTICE:
Immedi-
ately wipe off spilled fuel with a
clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted sur-
faces or plastic parts.[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
EWA15151
WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle
gasoline with care. Never siphon
gasoline by mouth. If you should
swallow some gasoline or inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some
gasoline in your eyes, see your
doctor immediately. If gasoline
spills on your skin, wash with soap
and water. If gasoline spills on your
clothing, change your clothes.
EAU33520
Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED GASO-
LINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
7.4 L (1.96 US gal) (1.63 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 pis-
ton rings, as well as to the exhaust
system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.

EWA10862
WARNING
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a re hazard or
burns:● Do not park the vehicle near
possible re hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.● Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.● Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down be-
fore doing any maintenance
work.● Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.

NOTICEUse only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
unrepairable damage to the cata-
lytic converter.

TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha scooters receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems,
for example, can cause poor starting
and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting chart
represents a quick and easy pro-
cedure for checking these vital sys-
tems yourself. However, should your
scooter require any repair, take it to a
Yamaha dealer, whose skilled techni-
cians have the necessary tools, expe-
rience, and know-how to service the
scooter properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
EWA15141
WARNING
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there
are no open ames or sparks in
