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

locked with the smart key inside,
the smart key system may be dis-
abled. The smart key must be car-
ried by the rider.

Do not leave the seat open for
an extended period of time, oth-
erwise the light may cause the
battery to discharge.
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
compartment.

WARNING
EWA16101
The front and rear tires should
be of the same make and de-
sign, otherwise the handling
characteristics of the vehicle
may be different, which could
lead to an accident.
Always make sure that the valve
caps are securely installed to
prevent air pressure leakage.
Use only the tire valves and
valve cores listed below to
avoid tire deflation during a ride.
After extensive tests, only the tires list-
ed below have been approved for this
model by Yamaha.
EAU51921
Cast wheels
To 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.

Adjusting the rear brake lock
cable
Rear 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.
EAU52293
Checking the rear brake lock
The 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.

Clean the filler cap before re-
moving. Use only DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container.
Use only the specified brake flu-
id; otherwise, the rubber seals
may deteriorate, causing leak-
age.
Refill with the same type of
brake fluid. Adding a brake fluid
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always clean
up spilled fluid immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake sys-
tem leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. If the brake
fluid level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause before
further riding.
EAU22733
Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. In addition, have the oil seals
of the master cylinders and calipers as
well as the brake hoses replaced at the
intervals listed below or whenever they
are damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
Brake hoses: Replace every four
years.
