SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU1028B

Be a Responsible Owner

As the vehicle’s owner, you are respon-

sible for the safe and proper operation

of your motorcycle.

Motorcycles are single-track vehicles.

Their safe use and operation are de-

pendent 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 motorcycle.

He or she should:

Obtain thorough instructions from

a competent source on all aspects

of motorcycle operation.

Observe the warnings and mainte-

nance requirements in this Own-

er’s Manual.

Obtain qualified training in safe

and proper riding techniques.

Obtain professional technical ser-

vice as indicated in this Owner’s

Manual and/or when made neces-

sary by mechanical conditions.

Never operate a motorcycle with-

out proper training or instruction.

Take a training course. Beginners

should receive training from a cer-

tified instructor. Contact an autho-

rized motorcycle dealer to find out

about the training courses nearest

you.

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 motorcycle is designed to car-

ry the operator and a passenger.

The failure of motorists to detect

and recognize motorcycles in traf-

fic is the predominating cause of

automobile/motorcycle accidents.

Many accidents have been caused

by an automobile driver who did

not see the motorcycle. 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 in-

tersections are the most likely

places for motorcycle accidents

to occur.

• Ride where other motorists can

see you. Avoid riding in another

motorist’s blind spot.

• Never maintain a motorcycle

without proper knowledge. Con-

tact an authorized motorcycle

dealer to inform you on basic

motorcycle maintenance. Cer-

tain maintenance can only be

carried out by certified staff.

Many accidents involve inexperi-

enced operators. In fact, many op-

erators who have been involved in

accidents do not even have a cur-

rent motorcycle license.

• Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend your mo-

torcycle to other qualified opera-

tors.

• Know your skills and limits.

Staying within your limits may

help you to avoid an accident.

• We recommend that you prac-

tice riding your motorcycle

where there is no traffic until you

have become thoroughly famil-

iar with the motorcycle and all of

its controls.

Many accidents have been caused

by error of the motorcycle opera-

tor. A typical error made by the op-

erator 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 warrant-

ed 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 foot-

rests during operation to main-

tain control of the motorcycle.

• 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 motorcycle is designed for

on-road use only. It is not suitable

for off-road use.

Protective Apparel

The majority of fatalities from motorcy-

cle accidents are the result of head in-

juries. The use of a safety helmet is the

single most critical factor in the preven-

tion 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, heavy boots,

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, footrests, or wheels

and cause injury or an accident.

Always wear protective clothing

that covers your legs, ankles, and

feet. The engine or exhaust sys-

tem become very hot during or af-

ter 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 car-

bon monoxide can cause headaches,

dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu-

sion, and eventually death.

Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-

less, tasteless gas which may be pres-

ent even if you do not see or smell any

engine exhaust. Deadly levels of car-

bon monoxide can collect rapidly and

you can quickly be overcome and un-

able to save yourself. Also, deadly lev-

els of carbon monoxide can linger for

hours or days in enclosed or poorly

ventilated areas. If you experience any

symptoms of carbon monoxide poison-

ing, leave the area immediately, get

fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-

MENT.

Do not run engine indoors. Even if

you try to ventilate engine exhaust

with fans or open windows and

doors, carbon monoxide can rap-

idly reach dangerous levels.

Do not run engine in poorly venti-

lated or partially enclosed areas

such as barns, garages, or car-

ports.

Do not run engine outdoors where

engine exhaust can be drawn into

a building through openings such

as windows and doors.

Adding accessories or cargo to your

motorcycle can adversely affect stabili-

ty and handling if the weight distribution

of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid

the possibility of an accident, use ex-

treme caution when adding cargo or

accessories to your motorcycle. Use

extra care when riding a motorcycle

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 motorcycle:

The total weight of the operator, pas-

senger, accessories and cargo must

not exceed the maximum load limit.

Operation of an overloaded vehicle

could cause an accident.

When loading within this weight limit,

keep the following in mind:

Cargo and accessory weight

should be kept as low and close to

the motorcycle as possible. Se-

curely pack your heaviest items as

close to the center of the vehicle as

possible and make sure to distrib-

ute the weight as evenly as possi-

ble on both sides of the motorcycle

to minimize imbalance or instabili-

ty.

Shifting weights can create a sud-

den imbalance. Make sure that ac-

cessories and cargo are securely

attached to the motorcycle before

riding. Check accessory mounts

and cargo restraints frequently.

• Properly adjust the suspension

for your load (suspension-ad-

justable models only), and

check the condition and pres-

sure of your tires.

• Never attach any large or heavy

items to the handlebar, front

fork, or front fender. These

items, including such cargo as

sleeping bags, duffel bags, or

tents, can create unstable han-

dling or a slow steering re-

sponse.

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 avail-

able 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 acces-

sories 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 en-
