TIPThis model is equipped with a lean
angle sensor to stop the engine in
case of a turnover. To start the en-
gine after a turnover, be sure to turn
the main switch to “OFF” and then to
“ON”. Failing to do so will prevent the
engine from starting even though the
engine will crank when pushing the
start switch.
EAUT3680
Starting the engine
ECA10250
NOTICESee page 5-3 for engine break-in
instructions prior to operating the
vehicle for the rst time.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
The engine trouble warning light
and coolant temperature warning
light should come on for a few
seconds, then go off.
NOTICE:
If
a warning light does not go off,
have a Yamaha dealer check its
electrical circuit.
[ECAT1170]
2. Close the throttle completely.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the
front or rear brake.
NOTICE:
For
maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine
is cold!
[ECA11041]
If the engine does not start, re-
lease the start switch, wait a few
seconds, and then try again.
Each starting attempt should be
as short as possible to preserve the battery. Do not crank the en-
gine more than 10 seconds on
any one attempt.

Braking
EWA10300
WARNING
● Avoid braking hard or sud-
denly (especially when leaning
over to one side), otherwise the
scooter may skid or overturn.● Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.● Keep in mind that braking on
a wet road is much more diffi-
cult.● Ride slowly down a hill, as
braking downhill can be very
dif cult.
1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually
increasing the pressure.
EAU16761
Starting offTIPBefore starting off, allow the engine to
warm up.
1. While pulling the rear brake lever
with your left hand and holding
the grab bar with your right hand,
push the scooter off the center-
stand.
2. Sit astride the seat, and then ad-
just the rear view mirrors.
3. Switch the turn signals on.
4. Check for oncoming traffic, and
then slowly turn the throttle grip
(on the right) in order to take off.
5. Switch the turn signals off.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
EAUS1823
Periodic inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most effi cient condition
possible. Safety is an obligation of
the vehicle owner/operator. The most
important points of vehicle inspection,
adjustment, and lubrication are ex-
plained on the following pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance charts should be simply
considered as a general guide under
normal riding conditions. However,
depending on the weather, terrain,
geographical location, and individual
use, the maintenance intervals may
need to be shortened.
EWA10321
WARNING
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.
EWA15122
WARNING
Turn off the engine when perform-
ing maintenance unless otherwise
speci ed.● A running engine has moving
parts that can catch on body
parts or clothing and electrical
parts that can cause shocks or
res.● Running the engine while ser-
vicing can lead to eye injury,
burns, fire, or carbon monox-
ide poisoning - possibly lead-
ing to death. See page 1-2 for
more information about carbon
monoxide.
EWA10330
WARNING
This scooter is designed for use
on paved roads only. If this scooter
is operated in abnormally dusty,
muddy or wet conditions, the air
lter element should be cleaned or
replaced more frequently, other-
wise rapid engine wear may result.
Consult a Yamaha dealer for proper
maintenance intervals.
EWA15460
WARNING
Brake discs, calipers, drums, and
linings can become very hot dur-
ing use. To avoid possible burns,
let brake components cool before
touching them.
