WARNING
●
Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over
to one side), otherwise the sco-
oter may skid or overturn.
●
Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road cons-
truction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.
●
Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.
●
Ride slowly down a hill, as bra-
king downhill can be very diffi-
cult.
EAU16830
Engine break-in
There is never a more important
period in the life of your engine than
the period between 0 and 1000 km
(600 mi). For this reason, you should
read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themsel-
ves to the correct operating clearan-
ces. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAUT1110
0~150 km (0~90 mi)
Avoid operation above 1/3 throttle.
Stop the engine and let it cool for 5 to
10 minutes after every hour of opera-
tion. Vary the speed of the scooter
from time to time. Do not operate it at
one set throttle position.
150~500 km (90~300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
500~1000 km (300~600 mi)
Avoid cruising speeds in excess of
3/4 throttle.
ECAT1010
CAUTION
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
be sure to replace the final gear oil.
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
Avoid prolonged full throttle opera-
tion. Vary speeds occasionally.
ECA10270
CAUTION
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
EAU17200
