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

1. Fuel tank fi ller tube
2. Maximum fuel levelMake sure there is suffi cient gasoline
in the tank.
EWA10881
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely ammable. To avoid res
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
gine and be sure that no one is
sitting on the vehicle. Never re-
fuel while smoking, or while in the
vicinity of sparks, open fl ames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfi ll the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank fi ll-
er hole. Stop fi lling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine
or the sun can cause fuel to spill
out of the fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel im-
mediately.
NOTICE:
Immedi-
ately wipe off spilled fuel with a
clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted sur-
faces or plastic parts.[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
EWA15151
WARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle
gasoline with care. Never siphon
gasoline by mouth. If you should
swallow some gasoline or inhale a

Read the Owner’s Manual carefully
to become familiar with all controls.
If there is a control or function you
do not understand, ask your Yamaha
dealer.
EWA10271

the controls can lead to loss of
control, which could cause an ac-
cident or injury.

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.

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.

CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specifi ed in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.

To check the coolant level
The coolant level should be checked
as follows before each ride. In addi-
tion, the coolant must be changed at
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-
perature.● Make sure that the vehicle is po-
sitioned straight up when check-
ing the coolant level. A slight tilt
to the side can result in a false

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
