SAFETY INFORMATION
imize imbalance or instability.

Shifting weights can create a sud-
den imbalance. Make sure that ac-
cessories and cargo are securely
attached to the scooter before
riding. Check accessory mounts
and cargo restraints frequently.
• Properly adjust the suspension
for your load (suspension-ad-
justable models only), and
check the condition and pres-
sure of your tires.
• Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front
fork, or front fender. Such items
can create unstable handling or
a slow steering response.

This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached to
a sidecar.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your vehicle
is an important decision. Genuine
Yamaha accessories, which are avail-
able only from a Yamaha dealer, have
been designed, tested, and approved
by Yamaha for use on your vehicle.
Many companies with no connection toYamaha manufacture parts and acces-
sories or offer other modifications for
Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a
position to test the products that these
aftermarket companies produce.
Therefore, Yamaha can neither en-
dorse nor recommend the use of ac-
cessories not sold by Yamaha or
modifications not specifically recom-
mended by Yamaha, even if sold and
installed by a Yamaha dealer.
Aftermarket Parts, Accessories,
and Modifications
While you may find aftermarket prod-
ucts similar in design and quality to
genuine Yamaha accessories, recog-
nize that some aftermarket accessories
or modifications are not suitable be-
cause of potential safety hazards to you
or others. Installing aftermarket prod-
ucts or having other modifications per-
formed to your vehicle that change any
of the vehicle’s design or operation
characteristics can put you and others
at greater risk of serious injury or death.
You are responsible for injuries related
to changes in the vehicle.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,as well as those provided under “Load-
ing” when mounting accessories.

Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the perfor-
mance of your scooter. Carefully
inspect the accessory before using
it to make sure that it does not in
any way reduce ground clearance
or cornering clearance, limit sus-
pension travel, steering travel or
control operation, or obscure lights
or reflectors.
• Accessories fitted to the handle-
bar or the front fork area can
create instability due to improper
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

SAFETY INFORMATION
1passing 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 free-
dom of movement of the opera-
tor and may limit control ability,
therefore, such accessories are
not recommended.

Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical acces-
sories exceed the capacity of the
scooter’s electrical system, an
electric failure could result, which
could cause a dangerous loss of
lights or motor power.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
scooter were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to provide
the best combination of handling, brak-
ing, and comfort. Other tires, rims, siz-
es, and combinations may not be
appropriate. Refer to page 8-5 for tire
specifications and more information 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
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.

Secure the scooter with tie-downs
or suitable straps that are attached
to solid parts of the scooter, such
as the frame or upper front fork tri-
ple clamp (and not, for example, to
rubber-mounted handlebars or
turn signals, or parts that could
break). Choose the location for the
straps carefully so the straps will
not rub against painted surfaces
during transport.

The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the
tie-downs, if possible, so that the
scooter will not bounce excessive-
ly during transport.
EAUT2030
Further safe-riding points 
Make sure to signal clearly when
making turns.

Braking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard braking,
because the scooter could slide.
Apply the brakes slowly when
stopping on a wet surface.

Slow down as you approach a cor-
ner or turn. Once you have com-
pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.

Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you
and open a door in your path.

Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,
iron plates on road construction
sites, and manhole covers be-
come extremely slippery when
wet. Slow down and cross them
with caution. Keep the scooter up-
right, otherwise it could slide out
from under you.

The brake lining could get wet
when you wash the scooter. After
washing the scooter, check the
brakes before riding.

Always wear a helmet, gloves,
trousers (tapered around the cuff

Troubleshooting If a problem occurs, check the following
before taking the vehicle to a Yamaha
dealer. However, if no electric power is
supplied (nothing appears in the dis-
play), have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
The vehicle does not enter the
standby mode when the key is
turned to “ON”
Check the following:
1. Is the vehicle currently being
charged?
The vehicle does not enter the
standby mode when the key is
turned to “ON” during charging.
2. Was the key turned to “ON” while
the accelerator grip was being
opened?
If the key is turned to “ON” while
the accelerator grip is opened, the
vehicle does not enter the standby
mode. Close the accelerator grip,
turn the key to “OFF” and then
back to “ON”.
If the vehicle still fails to enter the stand-
by mode, have a Yamaha dealer checkthe vehicle.
The vehicle does not start off
Is the vehicle in the riding mode? (Does
the operating status indicator “RUN”
appear in the display?)
The vehicle cannot be ridden unless it
is in the riding mode.
After checking the above, try starting off
again by following the procedures de-
scribed on page 7-1 “Preparations for
starting off” and page 7-3 “Starting off”
to restart the vehicle.
If the vehicle still does not start off, have
a Yamaha dealer check it.
The warning mark “ ” appears
Turn the key to “OFF” and then back to
“ON”. If the warning mark “ ” still ap-
pears, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
TIPAlthough the warning mark appears,
the vehicle can still be ridden if the op-
erating status indicator “RUN” appearsand the vehicle is in the riding mode.A light does not come on
Check the following:
1. Is the vehicle currently being
charged? Lights do not come on if
the vehicle is being charged.
2. Is the key turned to “ON”? (Does
anything appear in the display?)
If nothing appears in the display,
the auto-off function may be acti-
vated. Turn the key to “OFF” and
then back to “ON”.
3. Are all switches working properly?
After checking the above, and a light
does still not come on, proceed with the
following.

If the headlight fails to come on,
the bulb may be burned out. Refer
to page 8-11 for replacement pro-
cedures.

If a tail/brake light or turn signal
light fails to come on, a bulb may
be burned out. Refer to page 8-12
or 8-13 for replacement proce-
dures.
If a light still does not come on, a fuse
may be blown. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.


Improper cleaning can damage
plastic parts (such as cowlings,
panels, windshields, headlight
lenses, meter lenses, etc.) and
the mufflers. Use only a soft,
clean cloth or sponge with wa-
ter to clean plastic. However, if
the plastic parts cannot be thor-
oughly cleaned with water, di-
luted mild detergent with water
may be used. Be sure to rinse
off any detergent residue using
plenty of water, as it is harmful
to plastic parts.

Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abrasive
cleaning products, solvent or
thinner, gasoline, rust removers
or inhibitors, brake fluid, anti-
freeze or electrolyte.

Do not use high-pressure wash-
ers or steam-jet cleaners since
they cause water seepage and
deterioration in the following ar-
eas: seals (of wheel and swing-
arm bearings, fork and brakes),electric components (couplers,
connectors, instruments, accel-
erator grip, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.

For scooters equipped with a
windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as
they will cause dulling or
scratching. Some cleaning com-
pounds for plastic may leave
scratches on the windshield.
Test the product on a small hid-
den part of the windshield to
make sure that it does not leave
any marks. If the windshield is
scratched, use a quality plastic
polishing compound afterwashing.
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild
detergent, and a soft, clean sponge,
and then rinse thoroughly with clean
water. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush
for hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt
and insects will come off more easily if
the area is covered with a wet cloth for
a few minutes before cleaning.After riding in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roadsSince sea salt or salt sprayed on the
roads during winter are extremely cor-
rosive in combination with water, carry
out the following steps after each ride in
the rain, near the sea or on
salt-sprayed roads.TIPSalt sprayed on roads in the winter mayremain well into spring.
1. Clean the scooter with cold water
and a mild detergent after the mo-
tor has cooled down. NOTICE: Do
not use warm water since it in-
creases the corrosive action of
the salt.
[ECA10791]

2. Apply a corrosion protection spray
on all metal, including chrome- and
nickel-plated, surfaces to prevent
corrosion.
After cleaning
1. Dry the scooter with a chamois or
an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stain-
less-steel parts.
