Contaminants on the brakes or tires
can cause loss of control.
z 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
acetone, and wash the tires with
warm water and a mild deter-
gent.
z Before operating the scooter
test its braking performance
and cornering behavior.

z Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and make sure to wipe off
any excess.
z Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber parts, plastic parts or
headlight, taillight and meter
lenses, but treat them with a
suitable care product.
z Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.
z Consult a Yamaha dealer for ad-
vice on what products to use.
z Washing, rainy weather or humid
climates can cause the headlight
lens to fog. Turning the headlight
on for a short period of time will
help remove the moisture from the
lens.

Storage
Short-term
Always store your scooter in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover. Be
sure the engine and the exhaust sys-
tem are cool before covering the
scooter.
ECA10821
z 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.
z 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.
