Yamaha aerox NS50 - Owner's Manual > Periodic maintenance and Adjustment

Periodic inspection, adjustment, and lubrication will keep your vehicle in the safest and most efficient condition possible.

Safety is an obligation of the vehicle owner/operator. The most important points of vehicle inspection, adjustment, and lubrication are explained on the following pages.

The intervals given in the periodic maintenance charts should be simply considered as a general guide under normal riding conditions. However, depending on the weather, terrain, geographical location, and individual use, the maintenance intervals may need to be shortened.

WARNING

Failure to properly maintain the vehicle or performing maintenance activities incorrectly may increase your risk of injury or death during service or while using the vehicle. If you are not familiar with vehicle service, have a Yamaha dealer perform service.

WARNING

Turn off the engine when performing maintenance unless otherwise specified.

• A running engine has moving parts that can catch on body parts or clothing and electrical parts that can cause shocks or fires.
• Running the engine while servicing can lead to eye injury, burns, fire, or carbon monoxide poisoning - possibly leading to death. See page 1-3 for more information about carbon monoxide.

WARNING

Brake discs, calipers, drums, and linings can become very hot during use. To avoid possible burns, let brake components cool before touching them.

TIP

• The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance, or for the UK, a mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead.
• From 30000 km (17500 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 6000 km (3500 mi).
• Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and technical skills.
