EAU15596
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always follow the ins-
pection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
EWA11151
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment dama-
ge. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures pro-
vided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Before using this vehicle, check the following points:

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
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
6. Install the final transmission oil
drain bolt and its new gasket,
and then tighten the bolt to the
specified torque.

7. Refill with the specified amount
of the recommended final trans-
mission oil. WARNING! Make
sure that no foreign material
enters the final transmission
case. Make sure that no oil
gets on the tire or wheel.
[EWA11311]
8. Install the final transmission oil
filler cap and its new O-ring, and
then tighten the oil filler cap.
9. Check the final transmission case
for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.
EAU20070
Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAUS1670
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
TIP
The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level through
the check window.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Maximum level mark
2. Minimum level mark
3. Coolant level check window
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, lift up the
right floorboard mat as shown.
