SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10261

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 OPERA-

TOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD

KNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIRE-

MENTS BEFORE RIDING THIS

SCOOTER.

HE OR SHE SHOULD:

●

OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-

TIONS FROM A COMPETENT

SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF

SCOOTER OPERATION.

●

OBSERVE THE WARNINGS

AND MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-

MENTS IN THE OWNER’S MAN-

UAL.

●

OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING

IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING

TECHNIQUES.

●

OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-

NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED

BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL

AND/OR WHEN MADE NECES-

SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI-

TIONS.

Safe riding

●

Always make pre-operation

checks. Careful checks may help

prevent an accident.

●

This scooter is designed to carry

the operator and passenger.

●

The failure of motorists to detect

and recognize scooters in traffic is

the predominating cause of auto-

mobile/scooter accidents. Many

accidents have been caused by an

automobile driver who did not see

the scooter. Making yourself con-

spicuous appears to be very effec-

tive in reducing the chance of this

type of accident.

●

Therefore:

●

Wear a brightly colored jacket.

●

Use extra caution when ap-

proaching and passing through

intersections, since intersec-

tions are the most likely places

for scooter accidents to occur.

●

Ride where other motorists can

see you. Avoid riding in another

motorist’s blind spot.

●

Many accidents involve inexperi-

enced operators. In fact, many op-

erators who have been involved in

accidents do not even have a cur-

rent driver’s license.

●

Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend your

scooter to other qualified opera-

tors.

●

Know your skills and limits.

Staying within your limits may

help you to avoid an accident.

●

We recommend that you prac-

tice riding your scooter where

there is no traffic until you have

become thoroughly familiar with

the scooter and all of its con-

trols.

●

Many accidents have been caused

by error of the scooter operator. A

typical error made by the operator

is veering wide on a turn due to

EXCESSIVE SPEED or undercor-

nering (insufficient lean angle for

the speed).

●

Always obey the speed limit and

never travel faster than warrant-

ed by road and traffic conditions.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-2

1

●

Always signal before turning or

changing lanes. Make sure that

other motorists can see you.

●

The posture of the operator and

passenger is important for proper

control.

●

The operator should keep both

hands on the handlebar and

both feet on the footboard during

operation to maintain control of

the scooter.

●

The passenger should always

hold onto the operator, the seat

strap or grab bar, if equipped,

with both hands and keep both

feet on the passenger footrests.

●

Never carry a passenger unless

he or she can firmly place both

feet on the passenger footrests.

●

Never ride under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs.

●

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 inju-

ries. The use of a safety helmet is the

single most critical factor in the preven-

tion or reduction of head injuries.

●

Always wear an approved helmet.

●

Wear a face shield or goggles.

Wind in your unprotected eyes

could contribute to an impairment

of vision which could delay seeing

a hazard.

●

The use of a jacket, substantial

shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is ef-

fective in preventing or reducing

abrasions or lacerations.

●

Never wear loose-fitting clothes,

otherwise they could catch on the

control levers or wheels and cause

injury or an accident.

●

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.

●

Passengers should also observe

the above precautions.

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 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:

Loading

The total weight of the operator, pas-

senger, accessories and cargo must

not exceed the maximum load limit.

Maximum load:

196 kg (432 lb)

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-3

1

When loading within this weight limit,

keep the following in mind:

●

Cargo and accessory weight

should be kept as low and close to

the scooter as possible. Make sure

to distribute the weight as evenly

as possible on both sides of the

scooter to minimize imbalance or

instability.

●

Shifting weights can create a sud-

den imbalance. Make sure that ac-

cessories and cargo are securely

attached to the scooter before

riding. Check accessory mounts

and cargo restraints frequently.

●

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.

Accessories

Genuine Yamaha accessories have

been specifically designed for use on

this scooter. Since Yamaha cannot test

all other accessories that may be avail-

able, you must personally be responsi-

ble for the proper selection, installation

and use of non-Yamaha accessories.

Use extreme caution when selecting

and installing any accessories.

Keep the following guidelines in mind,

as well as those provided under “Load-

ing” when mounting accessories.

●

Never install accessories or carry

cargo that would impair the perfor-

mance of your scooter. Carefully

inspect the accessory before using

it to make sure that it does not in

any way reduce ground clearance

or cornering clearance, limit sus-

pension travel, steering travel or

control operation, or obscure lights

or reflectors.

●

Accessories fitted to the handle-

bar or the front fork area can

create instability due to improper

weight distribution or aerody-

namic changes. If accessories

are added to the handlebar or

front fork area, they must be as

lightweight as possible and

should be kept to a minimum.

●

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.

●

Certain accessories can dis-

place the operator from his or

her normal riding position. This

improper position limits the free-

dom of movement of the opera-

tor and may limit control ability,

therefore, such accessories are

not recommended.

●

Use caution when adding electri-

cal accessories. If electrical acces-

sories 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

●

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-

BLE:

●

Always turn the engine off when

refueling.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-4

1

●

Take care not to spill any gaso-

line on the engine or exhaust

system when refueling.

●

Never refuel while smoking or in

the vicinity of an open flame.

●

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

consciousness and death within a

short time. Always operate your

scooter in an area that has ade-

quate ventilation.

●

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:

●

The engine and exhaust system

may be hot, therefore, park the

scooter in a place where pedes-

trians or children are not likely to

touch these hot areas.

●

Do not park the scooter on a

slope or soft ground, otherwise it

may fall over.

●

Do not park the scooter near a

flammable source (e.g., a kero-

sene heater, or near an open

flame), otherwise it could catch

fire.

●

If you should swallow any gaso-

line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,

or allow gasoline to get into your

eyes, see your doctor immediate-

ly. If any gasoline spills on your

skin or clothing, immediately wash

the affected area with soap and

water and change your clothes.

EAU10371

Further safe-riding points

●

Be sure to signal clearly when

making turns.

●

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.

●

Slow down as you approach a cor-

ner or turn. Once you have com-

pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.

●

Be careful when passing parked

cars. A driver might not see you

and open a door in your path.

●

Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,

iron plates on road construction

sites, and manhole covers be-

come extremely slippery when

wet. Slow down and cross them

with caution. Keep the scooter up-

right, otherwise it could slide out

from under you.

●

The brake pads could get wet

when you wash the scooter. After

washing the scooter, check the

brakes before riding.

●

Always wear a helmet, gloves,

trousers (tapered around the cuff

and ankle so they do not flap), and

a bright colored jacket.

●

Do not carry too much luggage on

the scooter. An overloaded scoot-

er is unstable.

CAUTION:

ECA11400

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.

Your Yamaha engine has been de-

signed to use regular unleaded gaso-

line with a pump octane number

[(R+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a research

octane number of 91 or higher. If

knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a

gasoline of a different brand or premi-

um unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel

will extend spark plug life and reduce

maintenance costs.

Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol: gaso-

hol containing ethanol and that contain-

ing methanol. Gasohol containing

ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-

tent does not exceed 10%. Gasohol

containing methanol is not recom-

mended by Yamaha because it can

cause damage to the fuel system or ve-

hicle performance problems.

Sidestand

The sidestand is located on the left side

of the frame. Raise the sidestand or

lower it with your foot while holding the

vehicle upright.

NOTE:

The built-in sidestand switch is part of

the ignition circuit cut-off system, which

cuts the ignition in certain situations.

(See further down for an explanation of

the ignition circuit cut-off system.)

WARNING

EWA10240

The vehicle must not be ridden with

the sidestand down, or if the side-

stand cannot be properly moved up

(or does not stay up), otherwise the

sidestand could contact the ground

and distract the operator, resulting

in a possible loss of control.

Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off

system has been designed to assist

the operator in fulfilling the respon-

sibility of raising the sidestand be-

fore starting off. Therefore, check

this system regularly as described

below and have a Yamaha dealer re-

pair it if it does not function proper-

ly.

EAU15371

Ignition circuit cut-off system

The ignition circuit cut-off system (com-

prising the sidestand switch and brake

light switches) has the following func-

tions.

●

It prevents starting when the side-

stand is up, but neither brake is ap-

plied.

●

It prevents starting when either

brake is applied, but the sidestand

is still down.

●

It cuts the running engine when the

sidestand is moved down.

Periodically check the operation of the

ignition circuit cut-off system according

to the following procedure.

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.

NOTE:

Pre-operation checks should be made each time the vehicle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very short

time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

WARNING

Checking the spark plug

The spark plug is an important engine

component, which is easy to check.

Since heat and deposits will cause any

spark plug to slowly erode, the spark

plug should be removed and checked

in accordance with the periodic mainte-

nance and lubrication chart. In addition,

the condition of the spark plug can re-

veal the condition of the engine.

To remove the spark plug

1. Open the rider seat. (See

page 3-11.)

2. Pull up the storage compartment

mat, and then remove the spark

plug cover by removing the

screws.

3. Remove the spark plug cap.

4. Remove the spark plug as shown,

with the spark plug wrench includ-

ed in the owner’s tool kit.

To check the spark plug

1. Check that the porcelain insulator

around the center electrode of the

spark plug is a medium-to-light tan

(the ideal color when the vehicle is

ridden normally).

NOTE:

If the spark plug shows a distinctly dif-

ferent color, the engine could be defec-

tive. Do not attempt to diagnose such

problems yourself. Instead, have a

Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

2. Check the spark plug for electrode

erosion and excessive carbon or

other deposits, and replace it if

necessary.

wire thickness gauge and, if nec-

essary, adjust the gap to specifica-

tion.

2. Clean the surface of the spark plug

gasket and its mating surface, and

then wipe off any grime from the

spark plug threads.

3. Install the spark plug with the

spark plug wrench, and then tight-

en it to the specified torque.

NOTE:

If a torque wrench is not available when

installing a spark plug, a good estimate

of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn

past finger tight. However, the spark

plug should be tightened to the speci-

fied torque as soon as possible.

4. Install the spark plug cap.

NOTE:

Make sure the spark plug wire is fas-

tened in the clamp as shown.

5. Install the spark plug cover by in-

stalling the screws.

WARNING

EWA12600

Proper loading of your vehicle is im-

portant for several characteristics of

your vehicle, such as handling,

braking, performance and safety. Do

not carry loosely packed items that

can shift. Securely pack your heavi-

est items close to the center of the

vehicle, and distribute the weight

evenly from side to side. Properly

check the condition and pressure of

your tires. NEVER OVERLOAD

YOUR VEHICLE. Make sure that the

total weight of the cargo, rider, pas-

senger, and accessories (cowling,

saddlebags, etc. if approved for this

model) does not exceed the maxi-

mum load of the vehicle. Operation

of an overloaded vehicle could

cause tire damage, an accident, or

even injury.

Tire inspection

The tires must be checked before each

ride. If a tire tread shows crosswise

lines (minimum tread depth), if the tire

has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if

the sidewall is cracked, have a Yamaha

dealer replace the tire immediately.

NOTE:

The tire tread depth limits may differ

from country to country. Always comply

with the local regulations.

Tire information

This model is equipped with tubeless

tires.

WARNING

EWA10590

Operating the scooter with exces-

sively worn tires decrease riding

stability and can lead to loss of con-

trol. Have excessively worn tires re-

placed by a Yamaha dealer

immediately. Brakes, tires, and relat-

ed wheel parts replacement should

WARNING

EWA10580

●

It is dangerous to ride with a

worn-out tire. When a tire tread

begins to show crosswise lines,

have a Yamaha dealer replace

the tire immediately.

●

The replacement of all wheel-

and brake-related parts, includ-

ing the tires, should be left to a

necessary professional knowl-

edge and experience.

EAU21992

Cast wheels

To maximize the performance, durabil-

ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,

note the following points regarding the

specified wheels.

●

The wheel rims should be checked

for cracks, bends, warpage or

damage before each ride. If any

damage is found, have a Yamaha

dealer replace the wheel. Do not

attempt even the smallest repair to

the wheel. A deformed or cracked

wheel must be replaced.

●

The wheel should be balanced

whenever either the tire or wheel

has been changed or replaced. An

unbalanced wheel can result in

poor performance, adverse han-

dling characteristics, and a short-

ened tire life.

●

Ride at moderate speeds after

changing a tire since the tire sur-

face must first be “broken in” for it

to develop its optimal characteris-

tics.

●

After repairing or replacing the rear

tire, tighten the valve stem nut and

locknut to the specified torques.

enter the brake system, possibly caus-

ing it to become ineffective.

Before riding, check that the brake fluid

is above the minimum level mark and

replenish if necessary. A low brake fluid

level may indicate worn brake pads

and/or brake system leakage. If the

brake fluid level is low, be sure to check

the brake pads for wear and the brake

system for leakage.

Observe these precautions:

●

When checking the fluid level,

make sure that the top of the brake

fluid reservoir is level.

●

Use only the recommended quality

brake fluid, otherwise the rubber

seals may deteriorate, causing

leakage and poor braking perfor-

mance.

●

Refill with the same type of brake

fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a

harmful chemical reaction and

lead to poor braking performance.

●

Be careful that water does not en-

ter the brake fluid reservoir when

refilling. Water will significantly

lower the boiling point of the fluid

and may result in vapor lock.

●

Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-

ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-

ways clean up spilled fluid

immediately.

●

As the brake pads wear, it is nor-

mal for the brake fluid level to grad-

ually go down. However, if the

brake fluid level goes down sud-

denly, have a Yamaha dealer

check the cause.

EAU22730

Changing the brake fluid

Have a Yamaha dealer change the

brake fluid at the intervals specified in

the NOTE after the periodic mainte-

nance and lubrication chart. In addition,

have the oil seals of the master cylin-

ders and calipers as well as the brake

hoses replaced at the intervals listed

below or whenever they are damaged

or leaking.

●

Oil seals: Replace every two

years.

●

Brake hoses: Replace every four

years.

Troubleshooting

Although Yamaha scooters receive a

thorough inspection before shipment

from the factory, trouble may occur dur-

ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,

compression, or ignition systems, for

example, can cause poor starting and

loss of power.

The following troubleshooting charts

represent quick and easy procedures

for checking these vital systems your-

self. However, should your scooter re-

quire any repair, take it to a Yamaha

dealer, whose skilled technicians have

the necessary tools, experience, and

know-how to service the scooter prop-

erly.

Use only genuine Yamaha replace-

ment parts. Imitation parts may look like

Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-

or, have a shorter service life and can

lead to expensive repair bills.

Engine overheating

WARNING

EWA10400

●

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be

blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.

●

After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then

slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing

sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.

NOTE:

If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolant

as soon as possible.

Wait until the

engine has cooled.

Check the coolant level in the

reservoir and radiator.

The coolant level

is OK.

The coolant level is low.

Check the cooling system

for leakage.

Have a Yamaha dealer check

and repair the cooling system.

Add coolant. (See NOTE.)

Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a

Yamaha dealer check

and repair the cooling system.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

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

overall appearance of a scooter. Fre-

quent 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

plastic bag after the engine has

cooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and covers

as well as all electrical couplers

and connectors, including the

spark plug cap, are tightly in-

stalled.

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 de-

greaser off with water.

Cleaning

CAUTION:

ECA10780

●

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 af-

fected area any longer than in-

structed. Also, thoroughly rinse

the area off with water, immedi-

ately dry it, and then apply a cor-

rosion protection spray.

●

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.

●

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 products, solvent or

thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-

movers or inhibitors, brake flu-

id, antifreeze or electrolyte.

●

Do not use high-pressure wash-

ers or steam-jet cleaners since

they cause water seepage and

deterioration in the following ar-

eas: seals (of wheel and swing-

arm bearings, fork and brakes),

electric components (couplers,

connectors, instruments,

switches and lights), breather

hoses and vents.

●

For scooters equipped with a

windshield: Do not use strong

cleaners or hard sponges as

they will cause dulling or

scratching. Some cleaning com-

pounds for plastic may leave

scratches on the windshield.

Test the product on a small hid-

den part of the windshield to

make sure that it does not leave

any marks. If the windshield is

scratched, use a quality plastic

polishing compound after

washing.

After normal use

Remove dirt with warm water, a mild

detergent, and a soft, clean sponge,

and then rinse thoroughly with clean

water. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush

for hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt

and insects will come off more easily if

the area is covered with a wet cloth for

a few minutes before cleaning.

After riding in the rain, near the sea or

on salt-sprayed roads

Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the

roads during winter are extremely cor-

rosive in combination with water, carry

out the following steps after each ride in

the rain, near the sea or on

salt-sprayed roads.

NOTE:

Salt sprayed on roads in the winter may

remain well into spring.

1. Clean the scooter with cold water

and a mild detergent after the en-

gine has cooled down.

CAUTION:

ECA10790

Do not use warm water since it in-

creases the corrosive action of the

salt.

2. Apply a corrosion protection spray

on all metal, including chrome- and

nickel-plated, surfaces to prevent

corrosion.

After cleaning

1. Dry the scooter with a chamois or

an absorbing cloth.

2. Use a chrome polish to shine

chrome, aluminum and stain-

less-steel parts, including the ex-

haust system. (Even the thermally

induced discoloring of stain-

less-steel exhaust systems can be

removed through polishing.)

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.

4. Use spray oil as a universal clean-

er to remove any remaining dirt.

5. Touch up minor paint damage

caused by stones, etc.

6. Wax all painted surfaces.

7. Let the scooter dry completely be-

fore storing or covering it.

WARNING

EWA10940

●

Make sure that there is no oil or

wax on the brakes or tires. If

necessary, clean the brake

discs and brake linings with a

regular brake disc cleaner or ac-

etone, and wash the tires with

warm water and a mild deter-

gent.

●

Before operating the scooter

test its braking performance

and cornering behavior.

CAUTION:

ECA10800

●

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.

EAU36560

Storage

Short-term

Always store your scooter in a cool, dry

place and, if necessary, protect it

against dust with a porous cover.

CAUTION:

ECA10820

●

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.

●

To prevent corrosion, avoid

damp cellars, stables (because

of the presence of ammonia)

and areas where strong chemi-

cals are stored.

Long-term

Before storing your scooter for several

months:

1. Follow all the instructions in the

“Care” section of this chapter.

2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel

stabilizer (if available) to prevent

the fuel tank from rusting and the

fuel from deteriorating.

3. Perform the following steps to pro-

tect the cylinder, piston rings, etc.

from corrosion.

a. Remove the spark plug cap

and spark plug.

b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil

into the spark plug bore.

c. Install the spark plug cap onto

the spark plug, and then place

the spark plug on the cylinder

head so that the electrodes are

grounded. (This will limit spark-

ing during the next step.)

d. Turn the engine over several

times with the starter. (This will

coat the cylinder wall with oil.)

e. Remove the spark plug cap

from the spark plug, and then

install the spark plug and the

spark plug cap.

WARNING

EWA10950

To prevent damage or injury from

sparking, make sure to ground the

spark plug electrodes while turning

the engine over.

4. Lubricate all control cables and the

pivoting points of all levers and

pedals as well as of the sidestand/

centerstand.

5. Check and, if necessary, correct

the tire air pressure, and then lift

the scooter so that both of its

wheels are off the ground. Alterna-

tively, turn the wheels a little every

month in order to prevent the tires

from becoming degraded in one

spot.

6. Cover the muffler outlet with a

plastic bag to prevent moisture

from entering it.

7. Remove the battery and fully

charge it. Store it in a cool, dry

place and charge it once a month.

Do not store the battery in an ex-

cessively cold or warm place

[less than 0 °C (30 °F) or more

than 30 °C (90 °F)]. For more in-

formation on storing the battery,

see page 6-33.

NOTE:

Make any necessary repairs before

storing the scooter.

YAMAHA EXTENDED SERVICE (Y.E.S.)

Keep your Yamaha protected even after your warranty

expires with genuine Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.).

Y.E.S. is designed and administered by Yamaha Motor

Corporation to provide maximum owner satisfaction. You

get uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra

peace of mind.

Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that’s right for

you: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months or, on certain

models, even 48 months beyond your warranty period.

Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same

Yamaha people who handle your warranty – and it

shows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There

are no mileage limitations. Coverage isn’t limited to

“moving parts” or the “drive train” like many other plans.

And Y.E.S. covers manufacturing defects just like the

warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamaha

dealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory-

backed protection can be.

You don’t have to pay anything for covered repairs.

There’s no deductible to pay, and repairs aren’t

“pro-rated.” You don’t have any “out-of-pocket” expenses

for covered repairs.

In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection

(TRIP) is included at no extra cost. TRIP gives you up to

$150 reimbursement per occurrence for any reasonable

expenses you incur because your Yamaha needs

covered service: replacement vehicle rental, emergency

towing, phone calls, even food and lodging when you are

away from home. This superb coverage goes into effect

when you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any warranty

repairs as well as covered repairs during your entire

Y.E.S. plan period.

Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha

dealer nationwide.

Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to a new owner if you

sell or trade-in. That can make your Yamaha much more

valuable!

This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only available to

Yamaha owners like you, and only while your Yamaha is still

within the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So visit your

authorized Yamaha dealer to get all the facts. He can show

you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha

Extended Service.
