• Always obey the speed limit
and never travel faster than
warranted by road and traffic
conditions.
• 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 operator
footrests 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 foot-
rests.
Q SAFETY INFORMATION
● 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 injuries.
The use of a safety helmet is the single
most critical factor in the prevention or
reduction of head injuries.
● Always wear an approved helmet.
● 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.
● The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is
effective 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.
● Always wear protective clothing
that covers your legs, ankles, and

feet. The engine or exhaust system
become very hot during or after
operation and can cause burns.
● A passenger should also observe 1
the above precautions.
2
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car- 3
bon monoxide can cause headaches,
dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu- 4
sion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-
5
less, tasteless gas which may be
present even if you do not see or smell
any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of 6
carbon monoxide can collect rapidly and
you can quickly be overcome and un- 7
able to save yourself. Also, deadly lev-
els of carbon monoxide can linger for
8
hours or days in enclosed or poorly ven-
tilated areas. If you experience any
symptoms of carbon monoxide poison- 9
ing, leave the area immediately, get
fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-
MENT.

even if sold and installed by a Yamaha
dealer.
Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and
Modifications
While you may find aftermarket products
similar in design and quality to genuine
Yamaha accessories, recognize that
some aftermarket accessories or modi-
fications are not suitable because of
potential safety hazards to you or oth-
ers. Installing aftermarket products or
having other modifications performed to
your vehicle that change any of the
vehicle’s design or operation character-
istics can put you and others at greater
risk of serious injury or death. You are
responsible for injuries related to
changes in the vehicle.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under “Load-
ing” when mounting accessories.
Q SAFETY INFORMATION
● Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the perfor-
mance of your scooter. Carefully
inspect the accessory before us-
ing it to make sure that it does not
in any way reduce ground clear-
ance or cornering clearance, limit
suspension travel, steering travel
or control operation, or obscure
lights or reflectors.
• Accessories fitted to the
handlebar or the front fork area
can create instability due to
improper weight distribution or
aerodynamic 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
1-13

also cause instability when
passing or being passed by
large vehicles.
• Certain accessories can 1

or her normal riding position.

This improper position limits
the freedom of movement of
the operator and may limit 3

● Use caution when adding electrical

accessories. If electrical accesso-
ries exceed the capacity of the
scooter’s electrical system, an elec- 6
tric failure could result, which could
cause a dangerous loss of lights or 7
engine power.

Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your

There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period

this reason, you should read the follow-

Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first

the engine wear and polish themselves

Storage
Short-term
Always store your scooter in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it against
dust with a porous cover.
ECA10820
NOTICE
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 chemicals are
stored.
Long-term
Before storing your scooter for several
months:
“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! To prevent dam-
age or injury from sparking,
make sure to ground the spark
plug electrodes while turning
the engine over.[EWA10951]
