SAFETY INFORMATION
1-2
1
●
Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators. In fact, many op-
erators who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a cur-
rent driver’s license.
Make sure that you are qualified
and that you only lend your
scooter to other qualified opera-
tors.
Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
We recommend that you prac-
tice riding your scooter where
there is no traffic until you have
become thoroughly familiar with
the scooter and all of its con-
trols.
●
Many accidents have been caused
by error of the scooter operator. A
typical error made by the operator
is veering wide on a turn due to ex-
cessive speed or undercornering
(insufficient lean angle for the
speed).
Always obey the speed limit and
never travel faster than warrant-
ed by road and traffic conditions. Always signal before turning or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
●
The posture of the operator and
passenger is important for proper
control.
The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the operator foot-
rests during operation to main-
tain control of the scooter.
The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger footrests.
Never carry a passenger unless
he or she can firmly place both
feet on the passenger footrests.
●
Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
●
This scooter is designed for on-
road use only. It is not suitable for
off-road use.Protective Apparel
The majority of fatalities from scooter
accidents are the result of head inju-
ries. The use of a safety helmet is the
single most critical factor in the preven-
tion or reduction of head injuries.
●
Always wear an approved helmet.
●
Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impairment
of vision that could delay seeing a
hazard.
●
The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is ef-
fective in preventing or reducing
abrasions or lacerations.
●
Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on the
control levers or wheels and cause
injury or an accident.
●
Always wear protective clothing
that covers your legs, ankles, and
feet. The engine or exhaust sys-
tem become very hot during or af-
ter operation and can cause burns.
●
A passenger should also observe
the above precautions.

1Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
scooter were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to provide
the best combination of handling, brak-
ing, and comfort. Other tires, rims, siz-
es, and combinations may not be
appropriate. Refer to page 6-18 for tire
specifications and more information on
replacing your tires.
Transporting the Scooter
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the scooter in
another vehicle.
●
Remove all loose items from the
scooter.
●
Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.
●
Secure the scooter with tie-downs
or suitable straps that are attached
to solid parts of the scooter, such
as the frame or upper front fork tri-
ple clamp (and not, for example, to
rubber-mounted handlebars or
turn signals, or parts that could
break). Choose the location for thestraps carefully so the straps will
not rub against painted surfaces
during transport.
●
The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the
scooter will not bounce excessive-
ly during transport.
EAU10373
Further safe-riding points ●
Be sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
●
Braking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard braking,
because the scooter could slide.
Apply the brakes slowly when
stopping on a wet surface.
●
Slow down as you approach a cor-
ner or turn. Once you have com-
pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.
●
Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you
and open a door in your path.
●
Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,
iron plates on road construction
sites, and manhole covers be-
come extremely slippery when
wet. Slow down and cross them
with caution. Keep the scooter up-
right, otherwise it could slide out
from under you.
●
The brake pads could get wet
when you wash the scooter. After
washing the scooter, check the
brakes before riding.

3 ing. Therefore, be careful not to
cause the wheel to lock during emer-
gency braking.
TIPThe ABS warning light may come on
while accelerating the engine with the
scooter on its centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
EAU38624
Immobilizer system indicator light
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the indicator light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits. (See page 3-9 for an explanation
of the self-diagnosis device.)

Rear brake lever The rear brake lever is located on the
left side of the handlebar. To apply the
rear brake, pull this lever toward the
handlebar grip.
EAU12995
ABS (for ABS models) The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS
securely controls wheel lockup during
emergency braking on changing road
surfaces and under various weather
conditions, thereby maximizing tire ad-
hesion and performance while provid-
ing a smooth braking action. The ABS
is monitored by an ECU, which will
have recourse to manual braking if a
malfunction occurs.
WARNING
EWA10090
●
The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.
●
On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead to match the riding
speed.
TIP●
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test for a few seconds each
time the vehicle first starts off after
the key was turned to “ON”. During
this test, a “clicking” noise can be
heard from the front of the vehicle,
and if either brake lever is even
slightly applied, a vibration can be
felt at the lever, but these do not in-
dicate a malfunction.
●
When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake levers, but this does
not indicate a malfunction.
●
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake levers when
the ABS is operating. However,
special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er when performing this test.
