other motorists can see you.
8 The posture of the operator is im-
portant for proper control. The op-
erator should keep both hands on
the handlebar and both feet on the
footboard during operation to main-
tain control of the scooter.
8 Never ride under the influence of

8 This scooter is designed for on-road
use only. It is not suitable for off-
road use.
Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from scooter
accidents are the result of head injuries.
The use of a safety helmet is the single
most critical factor in the prevention or
reduction of head injuries.
8 Always wear an approved helmet.
8 Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind
in your unprotected eyes could con-
tribute to an impairment of vision
that could delay seeing a hazard.

8 Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on the

injury or an accident.
8 Never touch the engine or exhaust
system during or after operation.
They become very hot and can
cause burns. Always wear protec-
tive clothing that covers your legs,
ankles, and feet.
Modifications
Modifications made to this scooter not
approved by Yamaha, or the removal of
original equipment, may render the
scooter unsafe for use and may cause
severe personal injury. Modifications
may also make your scooter illegal to
use.
Loading and accessories
Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution of
the scooter is changed. To avoid the
possibility of an accident, use extreme
caution when adding cargo or accesso-
ries to your scooter. Use extra care when
1-2
riding a scooter that has added cargo or
accessories. Here are some general
guidelines to follow if loading cargo or
adding accessories to your scooter: 1
Loading
The total weight of the operator, acces- 2
sories and cargo must not exceed the
maximum load limit of 66 kg (146 lb). 3
When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind: 4
8 Cargo and accessory weight should
be kept as low and close to the
scooter as possible. Make sure to 5
distribute the weight as evenly as
possible on both sides of the 6
scooter to minimize imbalance or
instability. 7
8 Shifting weights can create a sud-
den imbalance. Make sure that ac-
cessories and cargo are securely 8
attached to the scooter before riding.
Check accessory mounts and 9
cargo restraints frequently.
8 Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front fork,
or front fender. Such items can cre-
ate unstable handling or a slow
steering response.
 Q SAFETY INFORMATION
Accessories
Genuine Yamaha accessories have
been specifically designed for use on
this scooter. Since Yamaha cannot test
1
all other accessories that may be avail-
able, you must personally be responsible
2 for the proper selection, installation and
use of non-Yamaha accessories. Use
3 extreme caution when selecting and in-
stalling any accessories.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
4
as well as those provided under “Load-
ing” when mounting accessories.
5 8 Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the perfor-
6 mance of your scooter. Carefully
inspect the accessory before us-
ing it to make sure that it does not
7
in any way reduce ground clear-
ance or cornering clearance, limit
8 suspension travel, steering travel
or control operation, or obscure
9 lights or reflectors.
9 Accessories fitted to the
handlebar or the front fork area
can create instability due to
improper weight distribution or
aerodynamic changes. If
5SU-F8199-E0ch1.pmd 3 2005/09/28, 11:36
accessories are added to the
handlebar or front fork area,
they must be as lightweight as
possible and should be kept to
a minimum.
9 Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability of
the scooter due to aerodynamic
effects. Wind may attempt to
lift the scooter, or the scooter
may become unstable in cross
winds. These accessories may
also cause instability when
passing or being passed by
large vehicles.
9 Certain accessories can
displace the operator from his
or her normal riding position.
This improper position limits
the freedom of movement of
the operator and may limit
control ability, therefore, such
accessories are not recom-
mended.
8 Use caution when adding electrical
accessories. If electrical accesso-
ries exceed the capacity of the
scooter’s electrical system an elec-
1-3
tric failure could result, which could
cause a dangerous loss of lights or
engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
8 GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAM-
MABLE:
9 Always turn the engine off
when refueling.
9 Take care not to spill any
gasoline on the engine or
exhaust system when refueling.
9 Never refuel while smoking or
in the vicinity of an open flame.
8 Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
scooter in an area that has adequate
ventilation.
8 Always turn the engine off before
leaving the scooter unattended and
remove the key from the main
switch. When parking the scooter,
note the following:
9 The engine and exhaust
 Safe-riding points<IXE>
system may be hot, therefore,
park the scooter in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch these hot
areas.
9 Do not park the scooter on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise
it may fall over.
9 Do not park the scooter near a
flammable source (e.g., a
kerosene heater, or near an
open flame), otherwise it could
catch fire.
8 If you should swallow any gasoline,
inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or
allow gasoline to get in your eyes,
see your doctor immediately. If any
gasoline spills on your skin or cloth-
ing, immediately wash the affected
area with soap and water and
change your clothes.

EAU10350
Further safe-riding points
8 Make sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
8 Braking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard braking,
because the scooter could slide.
Apply the brakes slowly when stop-
ping on a wet surface.
8 Slow down as you approach a cor-
ner or turn. Once you have com-
pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.
8 Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you and
open a door in your path.
8 Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,
iron plates on road construction
sites, and manhole covers become
extremely slippery when wet. Slow
down and cross them with caution.
Keep the scooter upright, otherwise
it could slide out from under you.
1-4
8 The brake lining could get wet when
you wash the scooter. After wash-
ing the scooter, check the brakes
before riding.
1
8 Always wear a helmet, gloves, trou-
sers (tapered around the cuff and
ankle so they do not flap), and a 2
bright colored jacket.
8 Do not carry too much luggage on 3
the scooter. An overloaded scooter
is unstable. Use a strong cord to
4
secure any luggage to the carriers.
A loose load will affect the stability
of the scooter and could divert your 5
attention from the road. (See page

1. Engine oil tank cap

Your Yamaha engine has been designed
to use regular unleaded gasoline with a
research octane number of 91 or higher.
If knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a
gasoline of a different brand or premium
unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will
extend spark plug life and reduce main-
tenance costs.

Make sure that there is sufficient oil in
the 2-stroke engine oil tank. If neces- 6
sary, add the recommended 2-stroke
engine oil as follows.
7
1. Open the seat. (See page 3-5.)
2. Turn the 2-stroke engine oil tank cap 8
counterclockwise and remove it.
3. Fill the oil tank with the recom- 9
mended 2-stroke engine oil, and
then install the cap.
NOTE:
Make sure that the 2-stroke engine oil
tank cap is properly installed.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
EAU15591
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 inspec-
tion, to check the following points before each ride. 1
NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the vehicle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very short 2
time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha scooters receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur dur- 1
ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,
compression, or ignition systems, for 2
example, can cause poor starting and
loss of power. 3
The following troubleshooting chart rep-
resents a quick and easy procedure for
checking these vital systems yourself. 4
However, should your scooter require any
repair, take it to a Yamaha dealer, whose 5
skilled technicians have the necessary
tools, experience, and know-how to ser- 6
vice the scooter properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replacement
parts. Imitation parts may look like 7
Yamaha parts, but they are often infe-
rior, have a shorter service life and can 8
lead to expensive repair bills.

 Care<IXE>
EAU25991
EAU26090
Care
While the open design of a scooter re-
veals the attractiveness of the technol-
ogy, 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 over-
all 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.
Before cleaning
1. Cover the muffler outlet with a plas-
tic bag after the engine has cooled
down.
2. Make sure that all caps and cov-
ers as well as all electrical couplers
and connectors, including the spark
plug cap, are tightly installed.
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,
with a degreasing agent and a
brush, but never apply such prod-
ucts onto seals, gaskets and wheel
axles. Always rinse the dirt and
degreaser off with water.

8 Avoid using strong acidic wheel
cleaners, especially on spoked
wheels. If such products are used
on hard-to-remove dirt, do not
leave the cleaner on the affected
area any longer than instructed.
Also, thoroughly rinse the area
off with water, immediately dry it,
and then apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray.
8 Improper cleaning can damage
windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic parts. Use only
a soft, clean cloth or sponge with
mild detergent and water to clean
plastic.
8 Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be sure
to avoid using cloths or sponges
which have been in contact with
strong or abrasive cleaning prod-
ucts, solvent or thinner, fuel
(gasoline), rust removers or in-
hibitors, brake fluid, antifreeze or
electrolyte.

8 Do not use high-pressure wash-
ers or steam-jet cleaners since
they cause water seepage and
deterioration in the following ar-

swingarm bearings, fork and
brakes), electric components 2
(couplers, connectors, instru-
ments, switches and lights), 3

windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as they
will cause dulling or scratching. 5
Some cleaning compounds for
plastic may leave scratches on 6
the windshield. Test the product
on a small hidden part of the

windshield to make sure that it
does not leave any marks. If the
windshield is scratched, use a 8
