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.

the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.TIP● The coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-

raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, and install the cool-
ant reservoir cap.
NOTICE:
If
coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine. If water has been
used instead of coolant, re-
place it with coolant as soon as
possible, otherwise the cooling
system will not be protected
against frost and corrosion. If
water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content
of the coolant as soon as pos-
sible, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.
