1. Fuel tank filler tube
2. Maximum fuel level
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel imme-
diately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spilled fuel with a cle-
an, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
EWA15151
Gasoline is poisonous and can cau-
se 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 youreyes, 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
ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
severe damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust sys-
tem.
Your Yamaha engine has been desig-
ned to use regular unleaded gasoline
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.
EAU13445
Catalytic converters
This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
EWA10862
The exhaust system is hot after
operation. To prevent a fire hazard
or burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire 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 befo-
re 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.

EAUS1820
Periodic inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most efficient condi-
tion possible. Safety is an obligation
of the vehicle owner/operator. The
most important points of vehicle ins-
pection, adjustment, and lubrication
are explained on the following pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart
should be simply considered as a
general guide under normal riding
conditions. However, depending on
the weather, terrain, geographical
location, and individual use, the main-
tenance intervals may need to be
shortened.
EWA10321
Failure to properly maintain the
vehicle or performing maintenance
activities incorrectly may increase
your risk of injury or death during
service or while using the vehicle. If
you are not familiar with vehicle
service, have a Yamaha dealer per-
form service.
EWA15121
Turn off the engine when perfor-
ming maintenance unless otherwi-
se specified.
A running engine has moving
parts that can catch on body
parts or clothing and electrical
parts that can cause shocks or
fires.
Running the engine while servi-
cing can lead to eye injury,
burns, fire, or carbon monoxide
poisoning – possibly leading to
death. See page 1-1 for more
information about carbon
monoxide.
EWA10330
This scooter is designed for use on
paved roads only. If this scooter is
operated in abnormally dusty,
muddy or wet conditions, the air fil-
ter element should be cleaned or
replaced more frequently, otherwi-
se rapid engine wear may result.Consult a Yamaha dealer for proper
maintenance intervals.

Brake discs, calipers, drums, and
linings can become very hot during
use. To avoid possible burns, let bra-
ke components cool before touching
them.

Owner’s tool kit
1. Owner’s tool kit
The owner’s tool kit is located under
the seat. (See page 3-18).
The service information included in
this manual and the tools provided in
the owner’s tool kit are intended to
assist you in the performance of pre-
ventive maintenance and minor
repairs. However, additional tools
such as a torque wrench may be
necessary to perform certain mainte-
nance work correctly.
TIP
If you do not have the tools or expe-
rience required for a particular job,
have a Yamaha dealer perform it for
you.
TIP
Fuse tongs and a bag containing spa-
re fuses are included in the owner’s
tool kit. Be careful not to lose these
items when opening the tool kit.

TIP
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance, or for the UK,
a mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead.
From 50000 km (30000 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km (6000 mi).
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and
technical skills.
