This video shows the layout of all the main components of the Gilera Nexus 500, which we cannot see well due to the fairing: The coolant reservoir is located near the right grip; the water pump is on the right side of the scooter, at the bottom; the thermostat is on the left side, near the spark plug, while the coil is also on the same side but further towards the rear; the adjustable suspension is under the seat; the fuel gauge float is in the centre, not far from the cap. The lambda sensor is on the right side of the scooter, close to the oil filler cap. The control units are all near the handlebars; on the lower left side of the handlebars is the fuse box and the connectors for the lights and indicators; in the centre under the seat, we find the battery and just above it, the filter; at the centre bottom, there is the horn, and centrally at the back is the radiator fan. Under the exhaust, we find the oil filter; at the front, behind the horn, is the voltage regulator.

What Does the V-Belt Light Indicate on a Yamaha NMAX Scooter and How to Remove It?

If the V-BELT light has illuminated on the instrument cluster of your Yamaha NMAX scooter, it means it is time to replace the drive belt as it has exceeded the relevant interval. You can entrust this maintenance task to your trusted workshop; the cost will not be particularly excessive. Once this is done, you can manually reset the light by following the procedure shown in this tutorial. First, turn on the instrument cluster, then repeatedly press the left button on the dashboard to reach the service interval in question. At this point, press and hold the right button once to initialise the reset, and a second time to complete it.
