Engine trouble warning light “
”
This warning light fl ashes or stays on
if an electrical circuit monitoring the
engine is not working correctly. If this
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check
the self-diagnosis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the
key to “ON”. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come
on initially when the key is turned to
“ON”, or if the warning light remains
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.

WARNING
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function display. Changing
settings while riding can distract
the operator and increase the risk
of an accident.
The multi-function display is equipped
with the following:● an odometer● a fuel reserve tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the bottom segment of the fuel
meter and fuel level warning indi-
cator started fl ashing)● two tripmeters (which show the
distance traveled since they were
last set to zero)● an oil change tripmeter (which
shows the distance traveled since
the last engine oil change)● an oil change indicator (which dis-
plays when the engine oil should
be changed)● a V-belt replacement tripmeter
(which shows the distance trav-
eled since the V-belt was last re-
placed)● a V-belt replacement indicator● an ambient temperature display● a clock● a fuel meter

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS● a brightness control mode
TIP● When the key is turned to “ON”,
all segments and indicators of the
display come on for a few sec-
onds. During this time, the multi-
function display is performing a
self-test.● Be sure to turn the key to “ON”
before using the “SELECT” and
“RESET” buttons except when
setting the brightness mode.
Odometer, fuel tripmeter, tripme-
ters, oil change tripmeter and V-belt
tripmeter modes
Pushing the “SELECT” button switch-
es the display among the odometer
mode “ODO”, the fuel tripmeter mode
“F”, the tripmeter modes “TRIP 1”
and “TRIP 2”, the oil change tripme-
ter mode “OIL TRIP” and the V-belt
change mode “BELT TRIP” in the fol-
lowing order:
ODO → F → TRIP 1 → TRIP 2 → OIL
TRIP → BELT TRIP → ODO
When approximately 1.6 L (0.42 US
gal, 0.35 Imp.gal) of fuel remains in
the fuel tank, the bottom segment of
the fuel meter and fuel level warn-
ing indicator will start flashing, and
the display will automatically change
to the fuel reserve tripmeter mode
“ F” and start counting the distance
traveled from that point. In that case,
pushing the “RESET” button switches
the display to the previous mode.
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “Trip” or
“Trip F” begins fl ashing (“Trip” or “Trip
F” will only flash for five seconds).
While “Trip” or “Trip F” is flashing,
push the “RESET” button for at least
one second. If you do not reset the
fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it will
reset itself automatically and the dis-
play will return to the prior mode after
refueling and traveling 5 km (3 mi).TIPThe display cannot be changed back
to fuel reserve tripmeter “ F” after
pushing the “RESET” button.
OdometerTIP● For the U.K.: For any mode, the
odometer units can be switched
from kilometers to miles by push-
ing the “SELECT” button for 1
second.● If the odometer indicates “-----”,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
multi-function display, as it may
be faulty.
Tripmeters
To reset a tripmeter, select it by push-
ing the “SELECT” button until “TRIP
1” or “TRIP 2” is displayed, and then
push the “RESET” button for at least 1
second.
TIPIf the tripmeter indicates “-----”, have
a Yamaha dealer check the multi-
function display, as it may be faulty.

TIP● Air fi lter and V-belt fi lter
• This model’s air fi lter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with
compressed air to avoid damaging it.
• The air fi lter element needs to be replaced and V-belt fi lter needs to be serviced more frequently when riding in
unusually wet or dusty areas.● Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinder and caliper, always change the fl uid. Regularly check the brake
fl uid level and fi ll the reservoir as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder and caliper, and change the brake
fl uid.
• Replace the brake hose every four years and if cracked or damaged.NO. ITEM CHECK OR MAINTENANCE JOBODOMETER READING

Engine oil and oil strainerThe engine oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the oil must be changed and the oil
strainer cleaned at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the scooter on the center-
stand. 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.

1. Oil fi ller cap
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil
settles, remove the oil filler cap,
wipe the dipstick clean, insert it
back into the oil fi ller hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add suffi cient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil fi ller
hole, and then tighten the oil fi ller
cap.
To change the engine oil and clean
the oil strainer
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.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and the engine oil drain bolts A
TIPIf 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 fi nger tight. However, the
spark plug should be tightened to the
specifi ed torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Install the panel.

filler cap and its O-ring from the
fi nal transmission case.
5. Remove the fi nal transmission oil
drain bolt and its gasket to drain
the oil from the fi nal transmission
case.
EAU20065
Final transmission oilThe final transmission case must be
checked for oil leakage before each
ride. If any leakage is found, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the
scooter. In addition, the fi nal transmis-
sion oil must be changed as follows at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
1. Start the engine, warm up the fi -
nal transmission oil by riding the
scooter for several minutes, and
then stop the engine.
2. Place the scooter on the center-
stand.
3. Place an oil pan under the final
transmission case to collect the
used oil.
9. Start the engine, and then let
it idle for several minutes while
checking it for oil leakage. If oil is
leaking, immediately turn the en-
gine off and check for the cause.
10. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
To reset the oil change indicator
and oil change tripmeterTIPThe oil change indicator and oil
change tripmeter can be reset when
“OIL CHANGE” and “OIL TRIP” ap-
pear in the multi-function display. (see
page 3-3.)
