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

Recommended fuel:
REGULAR UNLEADED GASO-
LINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
8.0 L (2.11 US gal) (1.76 Imp.gal)
ECA11400
NOTICEUse only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
severe damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and pis-
ton rings, as well as to the exhaust
system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
EAU13433
Catalytic converterThis model is equipped with a cata-
lytic converter in the exhaust system.
EWA10862
WARNING
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a re hazard or
burns:● Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.● Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.● Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down be-
fore doing any maintenance
work.● Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.

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

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.

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-

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.
