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 acci-
dent or injury.

TIP
This model is equipped with a lean
angle sensor to stop the engine in
case of a turnover. In this case, the
multi-function display indicates error
code 30, but this is not a malfunction.
Turn the key to “OFF” and then to
“ON” to clear the error code. Failing
to do so will prevent the engine from
starting even though the engine will
crank when pushing the start switch.

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follo-
wing 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 cros-
sings).
EAU16830
Engine break-in
There is never a more important
period 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 first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themsel-
ves to the correct operating clearan-
ces. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAUS1840
0–500 km (0–300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
5000 r/min.
500–1000 km (300–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
7500 r/min. NOTICE: After 1000
km (600 mi) of operation, be
sure to replace the engine oil,
final transmission oil and the
oil filter element.

TIP
Engine air filter and V-belt air filter
This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned
with compressed air to avoid damaging it.
The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter element needs to be serviced more fre-
quently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake
fluid levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the bra-
ke fluid.
Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

TIP
If 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 finger tight. Howe-
ver, the spark plug should be tighte-
ned to the specified torque as soon
as possible.
EAUS1701
Engine oil
The engine oil level should be chec-
ked before each ride. In addition, the
oil must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart and when the
service indicator light comes on.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the scooter on the centers-
tand. 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.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil
settles, remove the oil filler cap,
wipe the dipstick clean, insert it
back into the oil filler hole (wit-
hout screwing it in), and then
remove it again to check the oil
level.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Engine oil filler cap
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to rai-
se it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element
replacement)
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.

VING II” or higher.
Be sure no foreign material
enters the crankcase.
12. Start the engine, and then let it
idle for several minutes while
checking it for oil leakage. If oil is
leaking, immediately turn the
engine off and check for the cau-
se.

TIP
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator must
be reset after the oil change for the
next periodic oil change to be indica-
ted at the correct time. To reset the oil
change indicator before the periodic
oil change interval has been reached,
follow the above procedure, but note
that the indicator will come on for 1.4
seconds after releasing the “OIL
CHANGE” button, otherwise repeat
the procedure.EAU20065
Final transmission oil
The 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 final trans-
mission oil must be changed as
follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
1. Start the engine, warm up the
final transmission oil by riding the
scooter for several minutes, and
then stop the engine.
2. Place the scooter on the centers-
tand.
3. Place an oil pan under the final
transmission case to collect the
used oil.
4. Remove the final transmission oil
filler cap and its O-ring from the
final transmission case.
5. Remove the final transmission oil
drain bolt and its gasket to drain
the oil from the final transmission
case.
1. Final transmission oil filler cap
2. O-ring
