Adjusting The Shock Absorber Assemblies - Yamaha Xmax 250 Owner's Manual

Since the storage compart-
ment accumulates heat when
exposed to the sun, do not sto-
re anything susceptible to heat
inside it.
To avoid humidity from sprea-
ding through the storage com-
partment, wrap wet articles in
a plastic bag before storing
them in the compartment.
Since the storage compart-
ment may get wet while the
scooter is being washed, wrap
any articles stored in the com-
partment in a plastic bag.
Do not keep anything valuable
or breakable in the storage
compartment.
To store two helmets in the storage
compartment, place the helmets as
shown.
INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

Some helmets cannot be stored

tended with the seat open.
