EAUT0031* Q SAFETY INFORMATION SCOOTERS ARE SINGLE TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS BEFORE RIDING THIS SCOOTER. HE OR SHE SHOULD: 1. OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF SCOOTER OPERATION. 2. OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNER’S MANUAL. 3.
Q SAFETY INFORMATION 4. Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current driver’s license. a. Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your scooter to other qualified operators. b. Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident. c.
Q SAFETY INFORMATION 2. Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vision which could delay seeing a hazard. 3. The use of a jacket, substantial shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in preventing or reducing abrasions or lacerations. 4. Never wear loose-fitting clothes, otherwise they could catch on the control levers or wheels and cause injury or an accident. 5. Never touch the engine or exhaust system during or after operation.
Q SAFETY INFORMATION minimize imbalance or instability. 2. Shifting weights can create a sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securely attached to the scooter before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently. 3. Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebar, front fork, or front fender. Such items can create unstable handling or a slow steering response. 1 Accessories Genuine Yamaha accessories have been specifically designed for use on this scooter.
Q SAFETY INFORMATION 2. Use caution when adding electrical accessories. If electrical accessories exceed the capacity of the scooter’s electrical system an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power. Gasoline and exhaust gas 1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: a. Always turn the engine off when refueling. b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust system when refueling. c. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame. 2.
Q SAFETY INFORMATION EAU00023 Further safe-riding points 1. Make sure to signal clearly when making turns. 1 Turning left Turning right 2. Braking can be extremely difficult on a wet road. Avoid hard braking, because the scooter could slide. Apply the brakes slowly when stopping on a wet surface. 3. Slow down as you approach a corner or turn. Once you have completed a turn, accelerate slowly. 4. Be careful when passing parked cars. A driver might not see you and open a door in your path. 5.

EAU01114 PRE-OPERATION CHECKS The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspection, to check the following points before each ride.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS ITEM CHECKS PAGE 9 Check for damage. 9 Check tire condition and tread depth 9 Check air pressure. 9 Correct if necessary. 6-11~6-13 Brake levers 9 Make sure that operation is smooth. 9 Lubricate lever pivoting points if necessary. 3-5,6-14,6-17 Centerstand 9 Make sure that operation is smooth. 9 Lubricate pivot if necessary. 6-18 Chassis fasteners 9 Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are properly tightened. 9 Tighten if necessary.
EAU00372 OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS EAU01118 EAU00376 EW000129 w 5 * ON EC000033 cC 8 Become thoroughly familiar with all operating controls and their functions before riding. Consult a Yamaha dealer regarding any control or function that you do not thoroughly understand. 8 Never start the engine or operate it in a closed area for any length of time. Exhaust fumes are poisonous, and inhaling them can cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time.
OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS ENGINE STOP START 2 1 1. Start switch “,” 2.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS REAR EAU00436 EAUT0003 There is never a more important period in the life of your engine than the period between 0 and 1,000 km (600 mi). For this reason, you should read the following material carefully. 0-150 km (0-100 mi) Avoid operation above 1/3 throttle. Stop the engine and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes after every hour of operation. Vary the speed of the scooter from time to time. Do not operate it at one set throttle position.
OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS EC000049 cC If any engine trouble should occur during the engine break-in period, immediately have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle. Incorrect. Incorrect.

EAU03434 SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE Care While the open design of a scooter reveals the attractiveness of the technology, it also makes it more vulnerable. Rust and corrosion can develop even if high-quality components are used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go unnoticed on a car, however, it detracts from the overall appearance of a scooter. Frequent and proper care does not only comply with the terms of the warranty, but it will also keep your scooter looking good, extend its life and optimize its performance.
SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust removers or inhibitors, brake fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte. 8 Do not use high-pressure washers or steam-jet cleaners since they cause water seepage and deterioration in the following areas: seals (of wheel and swingarm bearings, fork and brakes), electric components (couplers, connectors, instruments, switches and lights), breather hoses and vents.
SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE 7 After cleaning 1. Dry the scooter with a chamois or an absorbing cloth. 2. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome, aluminum and stainless-steel parts, including the exhaust system. (Even the thermally induced discoloring of stainless-steel exhaust systems can be removed through polishing.) 3. To prevent corrosion, it is recommended to apply a corrosion protection spray on all metal, including chrome- and nickel-plated, surfaces. 4.
SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE Storage Short-term Always store your scooter in a cool, dry place and, if necessary, protect it against dust with a porous cover. ECA00015 cC 8 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. 8 To prevent corrosion, avoid damp cellars, stables (because of the presence of ammonia) and areas where strong chemicals are stored.
SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE 7 5. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting points of all levers and pedals as well as of the sidestand/centerstand. 6. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air pressure, and then lift the scooter so that both of its wheels are off the ground. Alternatively, turn the wheels a little every month in order to prevent the tires from becoming degraded in one spot. 7. Cover the muffler outlet with a plastic bag to prevent moisture from entering it. 8.

You’ll get the excellent benefits of TRIP coverage right away, and you’ll rest easy knowing you’ll have strong factory-backed protection even after your Yamaha Limited Warranty expires. A special note: If visiting your dealer isn’t convenient, contact Yamaha with your Primary ID number (your frame number). We’ll be happy to help you get the Y.E.S. coverage you need.
