WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-
cal circuits as soon as possible.
TIP
The ABS warning light may come on
when revving the engine with the scoot-
er on its centerstand, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
This model’s ABS features a dual elec-
tronic control system, which acts on the
front and rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not “pump” the
brakes as this will reduce braking effec-
tiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.
On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle is
turned on and travels at a speed of
10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher. During
this test, a clicking noise can be
heard and if either brake lever is
even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation at the brake levers when
the ABS is operating. However, special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er.
NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
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 en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vicin-
ity 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. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. 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.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi- ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU79080
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.

Rear storage compartment
This storage compartment was de-
signed to hold one full-faced helmet or
two 3/4-faced helmets. NOTICE: The
shaded area is not a storage com-
partment. To prevent damaging the
seat hinges, do not place any items
in this area.
[ECA16092]
TIP
Some helmets cannot be stored in
the rear storage compartment be-
cause of their size or shape.
Do not leave the vehicle unattend-
ed with the seat open.
Do not place the smart key inside
the rear storage compartment. It
may get locked inside and the
smart key system not operate nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA15964
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 when washing the vehicle, 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.

er off to extinguish the warning
light. Failing to do so will prevent
the engine from starting even
though the engine will crank when
pushing the start switch.
an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the start switch
to restart the engine.

Coolant
The 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.
EAU52024To check the coolant level 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 the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level through the check window.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level mark, remove the
left floorboard mat by pulling it up. 4. Remove the coolant reservoir cov-
er by removing the screw.
5. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, add coolant to the maximum level
mark, and then install the reservoir
cap. WARNING! Remove only
the coolant reservoir cap. Never
attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA15162] NOTICE: If coolant is
not available, use distilled water
or soft tap water instead. Do not
use hard water or salt water
since it is harmful to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
