accidents have been caused byan automobile driver who did notsee the scooter. Making yourselfconspicuous appears to be veryeffective in reducing the chance ofthis type of accident.Therefore:

• Wear a brightly colored jacket.• Use extra caution when you are

approaching and passingthrough intersections, since in-tersections are the most likelyplaces for scooter accidents tooccur.

• Ride where other motorists cansee you. Avoid riding in anothermotorist’s blind spot.

• Never maintain a scooter with-out proper knowledge. Contactan authorized scooter dealer toinform you on basic scootermaintenance. Certain mainte-nance can only be carried outby certified staff.

Many accidents involve inexperi-enced operators. In fact, many op-erators who have been involved inaccidents do not even have a cur-rent driver’s license.• Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend yourscooter to other qualified opera-tors.

• Know your skills and limits.Staying within your limits mayhelp you to avoid an accident.

• We recommend that you prac-tice riding your scooter wherethere is no traffic until you havebecome thoroughly familiar withthe scooter and all of its con-trols.

Many accidents have beencaused by error of the scooter op-erator. A typical error made by theoperator is veering wide on a turndue to excessive speed or under-cornering (insufficient lean anglefor the speed).• Always obey the speed limit and

never travel faster than warrant-ed by road and traffic condi-tions.

• Always signal before turning orchanging lanes. Make sure thatother motorists can see you.

The posture of the operator andpassenger is important for propercontrol.• The operator should keep both

hands on the handlebar andboth feet on the operator foot-rests during operation to main-tain control of the scooter.

• The passenger should alwayshold onto the operator, the seatstrap or grab bar, if equipped,with both hands and keep bothfeet on the passenger footrests.Never carry a passenger unlesshe or she can firmly place bothfeet on the passenger footrests.

Never ride under the influence ofalcohol or other drugs.

This scooter is designed for on-road use only. It is not suitable foroff-road use.

oid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

l engine exhaust contains carbononoxide, a deadly gas. Breathingrbon monoxide can cause head-hes, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,nfusion, and eventually death.rbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-s, tasteless gas which may be pres-t even if you do not see or smell anygine exhaust. Deadly levels of car-n monoxide can collect rapidly andu can quickly be overcome and un-le to save yourself. Also, deadly lev- of carbon monoxide can linger forurs or days in enclosed or poorlyntilated areas. If you experience anymptoms of carbon monoxide poi-ning, leave the area immediately, getsh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-ENT.

Do not run engine indoors. Even ifyou try to ventilate engine exhaustwith fans or open windows anddoors, carbon monoxide can rap-idly reach dangerous levels.Do not run engine in poorly venti-lated or partially enclosed areassuch as barns, garages, or car-ports.

Do not run engine outdoors whereengine exhaust can be drawn intoa building through openings suchas windows and doors.

Loading

Adding accessories or cargo to yourscooter can adversely affect stabilityand handling if the weight distributionof the scooter is changed. To avoid thepossibility of an accident, use extremecaution when adding cargo or acces-sories to your scooter. Use extra carewhen riding a scooter that has addedcargo or accessories. Here, along withthe information about accessories be-low, are some general guidelines to fol-low if loading cargo to your scooter:The total weight of the operator, pas-senger, accessories and cargo mustnot exceed the maximum load limit.Operation of an overloaded vehicle

could cause an accident.

When loading within this weight limit,keep the following in mind:

Maximum load:163 kg (359 lb)

• Bulky or large accessories mayseriously affect the stability ofthe scooter due to aerodynamiceffects. Wind may attempt to liftthe scooter, or the scooter maybecome unstable in crosswinds. These accessories mayalso cause instability whenpassing or being passed bylarge vehicles.

• Certain accessories can dis-place the operator from his orher normal riding position. Thisimproper position limits thefreedom of movement of theoperator and may limit controlability, therefore, such accesso-ries are not recommended.

Use caution when adding electri-cal accessories. If electrical ac-cessories exceed the capacity ofthe scooter’s electrical system, anelectric failure could result, whichcould cause a dangerous loss oflights or engine power.

1. Before refueling, turn off the en-gine and be sure that no one is sit-ting on the vehicle. Never refuelwhile smoking, or while in the vi-cinity of sparks, open flames, orother sources of ignition such asthe pilot lights of water heatersand clothes dryers.

2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Whenrefueling, be sure to insert thepump nozzle into the fuel tank fillerhole. Stop filling when the fuelreaches the bottom of the fillertube. Because fuel expands whenit heats up, heat from the engine orthe sun can cause fuel to spill outof the fuel tank.

3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-ately. NOTICE: Immediately

wipe off spilled fuel with a clean,

dry, soft cloth, since fuel may

deteriorate painted surfaces or

plastic parts. [ECA10072]

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

plastic parts (such as cowlings,

panels, windshields, headlight

lenses, meter lenses, etc.) and

the mufflers. Use only a soft,

clean cloth or sponge with wa-

ter to clean plastic. However, if

the plastic parts cannot be thor-

oughly cleaned with water, di-

luted mild detergent with water

may be used. Be sure to rinse

CareWhile 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 ifhigh-quality components are used. Arusty exhaust pipe may go unnoticedon a car, however, it detracts from theoverall appearance of a scooter. Fre-quent and proper care does not onlycomply with the terms of the warranty,but it will also keep your scooter look-ing good, extend its life and optimizeits performance.

Before cleaning

1. Cover the muffler outlet with aplastic bag after the engine hascooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and cov-ers as well as all electrical cou-plers and connectors, includingthe spark plug cap, are tightly in-stalled.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,like oil burnt onto the crankcase,with a degreasing agent and abrush, but never apply such prod-

Clean the scooter with cold waterand a mild detergent after the en-gine has cooled down. NOTICE:Do not use warm water since it

increases the corrosive action

Apply a corrosion protection sprayon all metal, including chrome-and nickel-plated, surfaces to pre-vent corrosion.

roughly with water. For additionalaning, use Yamaha Windshieldaner or another high-quality wind-eld cleaner. Some cleaning com-nds for plastics may leave

atches on the windshield. Beforeng such cleaners, test an area of the

off any detergent residue using

plenty of water, as it is harmful

to plastic parts.

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 fluid,

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

compounds for plastic may

leave scratches on the wind-

shield. Test the product on a

small hidden part of the wind-

shield to make sure that it does

not leave any marks. If the wind-

shield is scratched, use a quality

plastic polishing compound af-

ter washing.

After normal useRemove dirt with warm water, a milddetergent, and a soft, clean sponge,and then rinse thoroughly with cleanwater. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrushfor hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirtand insects will come off more easily ifthe area is covered with a wet cloth fora few minutes before cleaning.

After riding in the rain, near the sea oron salt-sprayed roadsSince sea salt or salt sprayed on theroads during winter are extremely cor-rosive in combination with water, carryout the following steps after each ridein the rain, near the sea or on salt-sprayed roads.

fter cleaning

1. Dry the scooter with a chamois oran absorbing cloth.

2. Use a chrome polish to shinechrome, aluminum and stainless-steel parts, including the exhaustsystem. (Even the thermally in-duced discoloring of stainless-steel exhaust systems can be re-moved 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 damagecaused by stones, etc.

6. Wax all painted surfaces.7. Let the scooter dry completely be-

fore storing or covering it.
