OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU16820
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:● Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.● Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.● Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or at railroad cross-
ings).
EAU16830
Engine break-inThere is never a more important pe-
riod in the life of your engine than the
period between 0 and 1000 km (600
mi). For this reason, you should read
the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the fi rst
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts
in the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clear-
ances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
EAUT3540
0 ~ 150 km (0 ~ 90 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
After every hour of operation, stop the
engine, and then let it cool for fi ve to
ten minutes.
Vary the engine speed from time to
time. Do not operate the engine at
one set throttle position.
150 ~ 500 km (90 ~ 300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
500 ~ 1000 km (300 ~ 600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
3/4 throttle.
NOTICE:
After 1000
km (600 mi) of operation, be sure
to change the engine oil and final
transmission oil, and to clean the
oil strainer.
[ECA16501]
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation.
Vary the engine speed occasionally.
ECA10270
NOTICEIf any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

WARNING
● Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them and be burned.● Do not park on a slope or on
soft ground, otherwise the ve-
hicle may overturn, increasing
the risk of a fuel leak and re.● Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch re.

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 30000 km (17500 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 6000 km (3500 mi).● Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and
technical skills.

TiresTo maximize the performance, dura-
bility, and safe operation of your ve-
hicle, note the following points regard-
ing the specifi ed tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted
before each ride.
EWA10503
WARNING
Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause
severe injury or death from loss of
control.● The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the tempera-
ture of the tires equals the am-
bient temperature).● The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with
the riding speed and with the
total weight of rider, passen-
ger, cargo, and accessories ap-
EAU21401
Valve clearanceThe valve clearance changes with
use, resulting in improper air-fuel mix-
ture and/or engine noise. To prevent
this from occurring, the valve clear-
ance must be adjusted by a Yamaha
dealer at the intervals specifi ed in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.

EAU25881
TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha scooters receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems,
for example, can cause poor starting
and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your scooter
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the scooter prop-
erly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
EWA15141
WARNING
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE
with water, diluted mild deter-
gent with water may be used.
Be sure to rinse off any deter-
gent 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, fuel (gasoline), rust
removers or inhibitors, brake
uid, antifreeze or electrolyte.● Do not use high-pressure
washers or steam-jet cleaners
since they cause water seep-
age and deterioration in the
following areas: seals (of wheel
and swingarm bearings, fork
and brakes), electric compo-
nents (couplers, connectors,
instruments, switches and
lights), breather hoses and
vents.● For vehicles equipped with a
windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges
as they will cause dulling or
scratching. Some cleaning
compounds for plastic may
leave scratches on the wind-
shield. Test the product on a
small hidden part of the wind-
shield to make sure that it does
not leave any marks. If the
windshield is scratched, use a
quality plastic polishing com-
pound after washing.
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 roads
Since 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
may remain well into spring.
1. Clean the scooter with cold water
and a mild detergent after the en-
gine has cooled down.
NOTICE:
Do not use warm water since it
increases the corrosive action
of the salt.
[ECA10791]
2. Apply a corrosion protection
spray on all metal, including
chrome- and nickel-plated, sur-
faces 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 stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-
