2013 YAMAHA JOG50R warning

To install the 2-stroke engine oil tank
cap, push it into the oil tank opening.
EWA10141
sWARNING
Make sure that the fuel and 2-stro-
ke engine oil tank caps are properly
installed before riding the scooter.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13212
Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline
in the tank.
EWA10881
sWARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engi-
ne and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the
vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop
filling 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.

2. Fuel level
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel imme-
diately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spilled fuel with a cle-
an, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
EWA15151
sWARNING
Gasoline is poisonous and can cau-
se injury or death. Handle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you should swallow some
gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your

eyes, see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
EAU13270
Your Yamaha engine has been desig-
ned to use regular unleaded gasoline
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.
EAU13432
Catalytic converter
This model is equipped with a cataly-
tic converter in the exhaust system.
EWA10861
sWARNING
The exhaust system is hot after
operation. To prevent a fire hazard
or burns:
●Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
●Park the motorcycle 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 befo-
re 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.
ECA10701
NOTICE
Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
unrepairable damage to the cataly-
tic converter.

Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring in direction (a). To
decrease the spring preload and the-
reby soften the suspension, turn the
adjusting ring in direction (b).
Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position indica-
tor on the shock absorber.
EWA10221
sWARNING
This shock absorber assembly
contains highly pressurized nitro-
gen gas. Read and understand the
following information before hand-
ling the shock absorber assembly.
●Do not tamper with or attempt
to open the cylinder assembly.
●Do not subject the shock
absorber assembly to an openflame or other high heat sour-
ce. This may cause the unit to
explode due to excessive gas
pressure.
●Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
●Do not dispose of a damaged
or worn-out shock absorber
assembly yourself. Take the
shock absorber assembly to a
Yamaha dealer for any service.

Starting a cold engineECA10250
NOTICE
See page 5-4 for engine break-in
instructions prior to operating the
vehicle for the first time.
1. Turn the key to “ ”, and when
the oil level warning light comes
on, turn it to “ ”.
ECA10240
NOTICE
If the oil level warning light does
not come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
2. Close the throttle completely.3. While applying the front or rear
brake, start the engine by pus-
hing the start switch or by pus-
hing the kickstarter lever down.
NOTICE: For maximum engine
life, never accelerate hard
when the engine is cold!
[ECA11041]
If the engine fails to start by pus-
hing the start switch, release the
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 engine more
than 5 seconds on any one
attempt. If the engine does not
start with the starter motor, try
using the kickstarter.

BrakingEWA10300
sWARNING
●Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over
to one side), otherwise the sco-
oter may skid or overturn.
●Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road cons-
truction 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 difficult.
●Ride slowly down a hill, as bra-
king downhill can be very diffi-
cult.
1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually
increasing the pressure.Front

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).

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.
EAU17213
Parking
When parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
EWA10311
sWARNING
●Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedes-
trians or children are not likely
to touch them and be burned.
●Do not park on a slope or on
soft ground, otherwise the
vehicle may overturn, increa-
sing the risk of a fuel leak and
fire.
●Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch fire.
