TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properlyseated.
7. Install engine oil drain bolt A, and then tighten both drain bolts to
their specified torques.
8. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.NOTICE


Do not use oils with a diesel
specification of “CD” or oils of a
higher quality than specified. In addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.

Be sure no foreign material en-ters the crankcase.
9. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, im-
mediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
10. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
To reset the oil change indicator
and oil change tripmeter
TIPThe oil change indicator and oil change
tripmeter can be reset when "OIL
CHANGE" and "OIL TRIP" appear in
the multi-function display. (Seepage 3-3.)
EAU20067
Final transmission oilThe 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 transmis-
sion 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 center- stand.
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 fi-
nal transmission case.
Tightening torque:Engine oil drain bolt A: 20 Nm (2.0 m·kgf, 14.5 ft·lbf)
Engine oil drain bolt B:
32 Nm (3.2 m·kgf, 23.1 ft·lbf)
Recommended engine oil: See page 8-1.
Oil change quantity:
1.10 L (1.16 US qt, 0.97 Imp.qt)

5. Remove the final transmission oil
drain bolt and its gasket to drain
the oil from the final transmission
case.
6. Install the final transmission oil drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the speci-
fied torque.
7. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended final transmis-
sion oil. WARNING! Make sure
that no foreign material enters
the final transmission case.
Make sure that no oil gets on the
tire or wheel.
[EWA11312]
8. Install the final tr ansmission oil fill-
er 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.
EAU20071
CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAUT3693
To check the coolant level
The coolant level should be checked as
follows before each ride. In addition,
the coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.TIP
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.

Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to theside can result in a false reading.
2. Open the seat. (See page 3-11.)
3. Check the coolant level in the cool- ant reservoir.

Checking the brake fluid levelBefore riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark.
Check the brake fluid level with the top
of the reservoir level. Replenish the
brake fluid if necessary.
WARNING
EWA15991
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of braking ability. Observe
these precautions:
Insufficient brake fluid may al-
low air to enter the brake sys-
tem, reducing braking performance.

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 vaporlock.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always cleanup 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

brake system for leakage. If the brake
fluid level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause before
further riding.
EAU22724
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 brake master cylinder and caliper
as well as the brake hose replaced at
the intervals listed below or whenever
they are damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.

Brake hose: Replace every four
years.
EAU23098
Checking and lubricating the
cablesThe operation of all control cables and
the condition of the cables should be
checked before each ride, and the ca-
bles and cable ends should be lubricat-
ed if necessary. If a cable is damaged
or does not move smoothly, have a
Yamaha dealer check or replace it.
WARNING! Damage to the outer
housing of cables may result in in-
ternal rusting and cause interfer-
ence with cable movement. Replace
damaged cables as soon as possi-
ble to prevent unsafe condi-
tions.
[EWA10712]
Recommended lubricant:
Yamaha cable lubricant or other suit-
able cable lubricant

Checking the front forkThe condition and operation of the front
fork must be checked as follows at the
intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart.
To check the condition
Check the inner tubes for scratches,
damage and excessive oil leakage.
To check the operation 1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. WARNING! To avoid injury,
securely support the vehicle so
there is no danger of it falling
over.
[EWA10752]
2. While applying the front brake, push down hard on the handlebars
several times to check if the front
fork compresses and rebounds
smoothly.
NOTICE
ECA10591
If any damage is found or the front
fork does not operate smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or re-pair it.
Recommended lubricant:Lithium-soap-based grease
