3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal,
including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed, surfaces.

er to remove any remaining dirt.

caused by stones, etc.

WARNING
EWA15820
Contaminants on the brakes or tires
can cause loss of control.
 Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires. If
necessary, wash the tires with
warm water and a mild deter-
gent.
 Before operating the scooter,
test its braking performance
and cornering behavior.

 Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and make sure to wipe off
any excess.
 Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.
 Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.
TIP
 Consult a Yamaha dealer for ad-
vice on what products to use.
 Washing, rainy weather or humid
climates can cause the headlight
lens to fog. Turning the headlight
on for a short period of time will
help remove the moisture from the
lens.

Storage
Short-term
Always store your scooter in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover. Be
sure the motor is cool before covering
the scooter.
NOTICE
ECA17130
 Storing the scooter in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust, power
unit failure, electric leakage, or
short-circuiting.
 To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.
Long-term
