Frequently Asked Questions - CS50 YAMAHA

How do I start a cold engine?
Turn the key to ON, close the throttle completely, apply the front or rear brake, and push the start switch or kickstarter. If the oil level warning light does not come on, have the electrical circuit checked by a Yamaha dealer. For maximum engine life, do not accelerate hard when the engine is cold.
What type of fuel and oil should I use?
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a research octane number of 91 or higher. For 2-stroke engine oil, use Yamalube 2 or equivalent JASO FC/ISO EG-C or EG-D grade. The oil tank capacity is 1.4 L.
How do I check and adjust the rear brake lever free play?
The rear brake lever free play should be 5.0–10.0 mm. To adjust, turn the adjusting nut at the brake shoe plate: direction (a) increases free play, direction (b) decreases. If proper adjustment cannot be obtained, have a Yamaha dealer make the adjustment.
What is the recommended tire pressure?
For load up to 90 kg: front 175 kPa (25 psi), rear 200 kPa (29 psi). For load from 90 kg to maximum: front 175 kPa, rear 225 kPa (33 psi). Always check and adjust on cold tires.
How do I store the scooter for a long period?
Clean the scooter, drain the carburetor float chamber, fill the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer, lubricate cables and pivots, remove and fully charge the battery (store in a cool dry place, charge monthly), lift the wheels off the ground or rotate them monthly, and cover the muffler outlet.
What does the oil level warning light mean?
The oil level warning light comes on when the 2-stroke engine oil level is low. If it illuminates during operation, stop immediately and refill the oil tank with recommended oil. The light should go off after refilling. If it stays on, have the electrical circuit checked.
How often should I change the final transmission oil?
Change the final transmission oil at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance chart (e.g., every 6000 km or 3500 mi). Use SAE 10W30 SE motor oil, quantity 0.11 L. Check for oil leakage before each ride.
What is the proper way to break in the engine?
During the first 1000 km (600 mi), avoid prolonged full-throttle operation or any condition that may cause engine overheating. This allows the engine parts to wear and polish to correct operating clearances.
How do I replace the headlight bulb?
Remove cowling A, disconnect the headlight leads, unhook the retaining wire, remove the bulb holder and bulb. Insert a new bulb (12V 35W/35W) and reassemble. Have the beam adjusted by a Yamaha dealer if necessary.
What is the maximum load capacity?
The maximum load (rider + passenger + cargo + accessories) is 169 kg (373 lb) for CS50/CS50M and 166 kg (366 lb) for CS50Z. Exceeding this can cause instability and accidents.

SAFETY INFORMATION

EAUT1012

Be a Responsible Owner

As the vehicle's owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your scooter.

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 operator. Every operator should know the following requirements before riding this scooter.

He or she should:

  • Obtain thorough instructions from a competent source on all aspects of scooter operation.
  • Observe the warnings and maintenance requirements in this Owner's Manual.
  • Obtain qualified training in safe and proper riding techniques.
  • Obtain professional technical service as indicated in this Owner's Manual and/or when made necessary by mechanical conditions.

Safe Riding

Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to

make sure it is in safe operating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage. See page 4-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.

●This scooter is designed to carry the operator and a passenger.

TIP

Although this scooter is designed to carry a passenger, always comply with the local regulations.

●The failure of motorists to detect and recognize scooters in traffic is the predominating cause of automobile/scooter accidents. Many accidents have been caused by an automobile driver who did not see the scooter. Making yourself conspicuous appears to be very effective in reducing the chance of this type of accident.

Therefore:

  • Wear a brightly colored jacket.
  • Use extra caution when you are approaching and passing through intersections, since

intersections 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 inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current driver's license.
  • Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your scooter to other qualified operators.
  • Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.
  • We recommend that you practice riding your scooter where there is no traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with the scooter and all of its controls.
    ●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 under-

cornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed).

  • 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 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 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 contribute 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 the above precautions.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death.

Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.

YAMAHA CS50 - Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning - 1

SAFETY INFORMATION

  • Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
  • Do not run engine in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or carports.
  • Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through openings such as windows and doors.

Loading

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 accessories to your scooter. Use extra care when riding a scooter that has added cargo or accessories. Here, along with the information about accessories below, are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo to your scooter:

The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit. Operation of an overloaded vehicle could cause an accident.

Maximum load:

CS50 169 kg (373 lb)

CS50M 169 kg (373 lb)

CS50Z 166 kg (366 lb)

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. Securely pack your heaviest items as close to the center of the vehicle as possible and 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 sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securely attached to the scooter before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.

●Properly adjust the suspension for your load (suspension-adjustable models only), and check the condition and pressure of your tires.
●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.
●This vehicle is not designed to pull a trailer or to be attached to a sidecar.

Genuine Yamaha Accessories

Choosing accessories for your vehicle is an important decision. Genuine Yamaha accessories, which are available only from a Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested, and approved by Yamaha for use on your vehicle. Many companies with no connection to Yamaha manufacture parts and accessories or offer other modifications for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a position to test the products that these aftermarket companies produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neither endorse nor recommend the use of accessories not sold by Yamaha or

modifications not specifically recommended by Yamaha, 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 modifications are not suitable because of potential safety hazards to you or others. Installing aftermarket products or having other modifications performed to your vehicle that change any of the vehicle's design or operation characteristics 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 “Loading” when mounting accessories.

●Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the performance 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 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 also cause instability when passing or being passed by large vehicles.

- Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the fre-

edom of movement of the operator and may limit control ability, therefore, such accessories are not recommended.

- Use caution when adding electrical accessories. If electrical accessories 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.

Aftermarket Tires and Rims

The tires and rims that came with your scooter were designed to match the performance capabilities and to provide the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims, sizes, and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to page 6-11 for tire specifications and more information on replacing your tires.

SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10372

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 corner or turn. Once you have completed 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 become extremely slippery when wet. Slow down and cross them with caution. Keep the scooter upright, 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 scooter is unstable. Use a strong cord to secure any luggage to the carrier (if equipped). A loose load will affect the stability of the scooter and could divert your attention from the road. (See page 1-1).

Checking the spark plug

The spark plug is an important engine component, which should be checked periodically, preferably by a Yamaha dealer. Since heat and deposits will cause any spark plug to slowly erode, it should be removed and checked in accordance with the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart. In addition, the condition of the spark plug can reveal the condition of the engine.

The porcelain insulator around the center electrode of the spark plug should be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color when the vehicle is ridden normally). If the spark plug shows a distinctly different color, the engine could be operating improperly. Do not attempt to diagnose such problems yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

If the spark plug shows signs of electrode erosion and excessive carbon or other deposits, it should be replaced.

Specified spark plug:

NBR8HS/NGK (for CS50 CS50Z)

BPR4HS/NGK (for CS50M)

Before installing a spark plug, the spark plug gap should be measured with a wire thickness gauge and, if necessary, adjusted to specification.

Checking the brake fluid level

Technical diagram showing a mechanical assembly with labeled parts and an inset box labeled 'MIN' containing number 1.

  1. Minimum level mark

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter the brake system, possibly causing 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 master cylinder is level by turning the handlebars.
  • Use only the recommended quality brake fluid, otherwise the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leakage and poor braking performance.

●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 enter the master cylinder when refilling. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor lock.

●Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid immediately.
●As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the brake fluid level to gradually go down. However, if the brake fluid level goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check the cause.

Troubleshooting

Although Yamaha scooters receive a thorough inspection before shipment from the factory, trouble may occur during 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 yourself. However, should your scooter require any repair, take it to a Yamaha dealer, whose skilled technicians have the necessary tools, experience, and know-how to service the scooter properly.

Use only genuine Yamaha replacement parts. Imitation parts may look like Yamaha parts, but they are often inferior, have a shorter service life and can lead to expensive repair bills.

WARNING

When checking the fuel system, do not smoke, and make sure there are no open flames or sparks in the area, including pilot lights from water heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or gasoline vapors can ignite or explode, causing severe injury or property damage.

Matte color caution

NOTICE

ECA15192

Some models are equipped with matte colored finished parts. Be sure to consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on what products to use before cleaning the vehicle.

Using a brush, harsh chemical products or cleaning compounds when cleaning these parts will scratch or damage their surface. Wax also should not be applied to any matte colored finished parts.

EAU26092

Care

While the open design of a scooter reveals the attractiveness of the technology, 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. Frequent 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 installed.
  3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt, like oil burnt onto the crankcase, with a degreasing agent and a brush, but never apply such pro-

ducts onto seals, gaskets and wheel axles. Always rinse the dirt and degreaser off with water.

Cleaning

ECA10781

NOTICE

●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 affected area any longer than instructed. Also, thoroughly rinse the area off with water, immediately dry it, and then apply a corrosion protection spray.
●Improper cleaning can damage plastic parts such as cowlings, panels, windshields, headlight lenses, meter lenses, etc. 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 removers or inhibitors, brake fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte.

●Do not use high-pressure washers or steam-jet cleaners since they cause water seepage and deterioration in the following areas: seals (of wheel and swingarm 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 windshield. Test the product on a small hidden 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

  1. 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
  2. Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the roads during winter are extremely corrosive in combination with water, carry out the following steps after each ride in the rain, near the sea or on salt-sprayed roads.

TIP

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 engine has cooled down. NOTICE: Do not use warm water

since it increases the corrosive action of the salt. [ECA10791]

  1. 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 stainless-steel parts, including the exhaust system. (Even the thermally induced discoloring of stainless-steel exhaust systems can be removed through polishing.)
  3. To prevent corrosion, it is recommended to apply a corrosion protection spray on all metal, including chrome- and nickel-plated, surfaces.
  4. Use spray oil as a universal cleaner 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 before storing or covering it.

SCOOTER CARE AND 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:

  1. Follow all the instructions in the "Care" section of this chapter.
  2. Drain the carburetor float chamber by loosening the drain bolt; this will prevent fuel deposits from building up. Pour the drained fuel into the fuel tank.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

  1. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer (if available) to prevent the fuel tank from rusting and the fuel from deteriorating.
  2. Perform the following steps to protect 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 sparking during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter. (This will coat the cylinder wall with oil.) WARNING! To prevent damage or injury from sparking, make sure to ground the spark plug electrodes while turning the engine over.

e. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug, and then install the spark plug and the spark plug cap.

  1. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting points of all levers and pedals as well as of the sidestand/centerstand.
  2. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air pressure, and then lift the scooter so that both of its wheels are off the ground. Alternatively, turn the wheels a little every month in order to prevent the tires from becoming degraded in one spot.
  3. Cover the muffler outlet with a plastic bag to prevent moisture from entering it.
  4. 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 excessively cold or warm place [less than 0 °C (30 °F) or more than 30 °C (90 °F)]. For more information on storing the battery, see page 6-19.

TIP

Make any necessary repairs before storing the scooter.
