TIP
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is
1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. Howe-
ver, the spark plug should be tighte-
ned to the specified torque as soon
as possible.

Engine oil
The engine oil level should be chec-
ked before each ride. In addition, the
oil must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart and when the
service indicator light comes on.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the scooter on the centers-
tand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil
settles, remove the oil filler cap,
wipe the dipstick clean, insert it
back into the oil filler hole (wit-
hout screwing it in), and then
remove it again to check the oil
level.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Engine oil filler cap
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to rai-
se it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.

Checking the brake fluid
level
Front brake
1. Minimum level mark
Rear brake
1. Minimum level mark
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, possibly
causing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low bra-
ke fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage. If
the brake fluid level is low, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage.
Observe these precautions:
When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the bra-
ke fluid reservoir is level.
Use only the recommended qua-
lity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, cau-
sing leakage and poor braking
performance.
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking performan-
ce.
Be careful that water or dust
does not enter the brake fluid
reservoir when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result
in vapor lock, and dirt may clog
the ABS hydraulic unit valves.
Brake fluid may deteriorate pain-
ted surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if
the brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.
Recommended brake fluid:
