the rear storage compartment be-
cause of their size or shape.

Do not leave your scooter unat-
tended with the seat open.



Since the storage compartment
may get wet while the scooter is
being washed, wrap any articles
stored in the compartment in a
plastic bag.

To avoid humidity from spread-
ing through the storage com-
partment and to discourage
possible mold growth, wrap wet
articles in a plastic bag before
storing them in the compart-
ment.

Do not keep anything valuable
or breakable in the storage com-
partment.

Since the storage compartment
accumulates heat from the en-
gine and from direct sunlight,
do not store anything suscepti-
ble to heat, such as food or
flammable items, inside the

Cast wheelsTo maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends, warpage or oth-
er damage before each ride. If any
damage is found, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair to
the wheel. A deformed or cracked
wheel must be replaced.

The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.

After repairing or replacing the
front tire, tighten the valve stem nut
and locknut to the specified
torques.

WARNING
EWA14212
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
lever can indicate the presence of air
in the hydraulic system. If there is air
in the hydraulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the vehicle. Air in the
hydraulic system will diminish the
braking performance, which may re-
sult in loss of control and an acci-dent.
EAU53032
Adjusting the rear brake lock
cableRear brake lock cable adjustment may
be required if the rear brake lock lever
does not hold properly. When the rear
brake lock lever is not in use, the rear
brake lock cable length should mea-
sure 43–45 mm (1.69–1.77 in) at the
rear brake caliper.
Periodically check the rear brake lock
cable length and, if necessary, adjust it
as follows.
To increase the rear brake lock cable
length, turn the adjusting nut at the rear
brake caliper in direction (a). To de- crease the rear brake lock cable length,
turn the adjusting nut in direction (b).
WARNING! If proper adjustment
cannot be obtained as described,
have a Yamaha dealer make this ad-
justment.
[EWA16151]
Check that the rear brake lock is re-
leased, and then make sure that the
rear wheel could rotate smoothly.

Checking the rear brake lockThe rear brake lock must be checked at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart. 1. Adjust the rear brake lock cable.
2. Apply the rear brake lock, and then try to push the vehicle to confirm
that the rear brake lock functions
properly.
3. The rear brake lock caliper is pro- vided with a wear indicator, which
allows you to check the rear brake
lock pads. To check the rear brake
lock pads, check the position of the
indicator when the rear brake lock
lever is applied. If the indicator has
passed the wear indicator groove,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
rear brake lock.
4. Make sure that there are no tears or cracks on the rubber boot.
