SAFETY INFORMATION
• Always obey the speed limit
and never travel faster than
warranted by road and traffi c
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 foot-
rests during operation to main-
tain 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 foot-
rests. Never carry a passenger
unless he or she can fi rmly
place both feet on the passen-
ger footrests.● Never ride under the infl uence 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 helmet.● Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impairment
of vision that could delay seeing a
hazard.● The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is
effective in preventing or reducing
abrasions or lacerations.● Never wear loose-fi tting 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
system become very hot during
or after 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 head-
aches, 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 mon-
oxide can linger for hours or days in
enclosed or poorly ventilated areas.
If you experience any symptoms of
carbon 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 ex-
haust with fans or open windows
and doors, carbon monoxide can
rapidly reach dangerous levels.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Aftermarket Parts, Accessories,
and Modi cations
While you may fi nd aftermarket prod-
ucts similar in design and quality to
genuine Yamaha accessories, recog-
nize that some aftermarket accesso-
ries or modifi cations are not suitable
because of potential safety hazards
to you or others. Installing aftermarket
products or having other modifi cations
performed to your vehicle that change
any of the vehicle’s design or opera-
tion characteristics can put you and
others at greater risk of serious injury
or death. You are responsible for inju-
ries related to changes in the vehicle.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under
“Loading” when mounting accesso-
ries.●
Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the per-
formance of your scooter. Care-
fully inspect the accessory before
using it to make sure that it does
not in any way reduce ground
clearance or cornering clearance,
limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation, or ob-
scure lights or refl ectors.
• Accessories fi tted to the han-
dlebar or the front fork area can
create instability due to improp-
er weight distribution or aerody-
namic changes. If accessories
are added to the handlebar or
front fork area, they must be
as lightweight as possible and
should be kept to a minimum.
• Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability of
the scooter due to aerodynamic
effects. Wind may attempt to
lift the scooter, or the scooter
may become unstable in cross
winds. These accessories may
also cause instability when
passing or being passed by
large vehicles.
• Certain accessories can dis-
place the operator from his or
her normal riding position. This
improper position limits the
freedom of movement of the
operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such acces-sories are not recommended.
●
Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the scooter’s electrical system, an
electric failure could result, which
could cause a dangerous loss of
lights or engine power.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
scooter were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to pro-
vide the best combination of handling,
braking, and comfort. Other tires,
rims, sizes, and combinations may not
be appropriate. Refer to page 6-16 for
tire specifi cations and more informa-
tion on replacing your tires.
Transporting the Scooter
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the scooter
in another vehicle.
●
Remove all loose items from the
scooter.
●
Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck

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, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to
a Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
edge and experience.
EAU21962
Cast wheelsTo maximize the performance, dura-
bility, and safe operation of your ve-
hicle, note the following points regard-
ing the specifi ed wheels.● The wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends, warp-
age or other damage 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 cracked 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.
