SAFETY INFORMATION

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 BE-

FORE RIDING THIS MOTORCYCLE.

HE OR SHE SHOULD:

1. OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF

MOTORCYCLE OPERATION.

2. OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNER’S MANUAL.

3. OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES.

4. OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL

AND/OR WHEN MADE NECESSARY BY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS.

Safe riding

1. Always make pre-operation checks. Careful checks may help prevent an accident.

2. This motorcycle is designed to carry the operator and a passenger.

3. The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic 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:

a. Wear a brightly colored jacket.

b. Use extra caution when you are approaching and passing through intersections, since intersec-

tions are the most likely places for motorcycle accidents to occur.

c. Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist’s blind spot.

1-1

SAFETY INFORMATION

4. Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in

accidents do not even have a current motorcycle license.

a. Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your motorcycle to other qualified opera-

tors.

b. Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.

c. We recommend that you practice riding your motorcycle where there is no traffic until you have

become thoroughly familiar with the motorcycle and all of its controls.

5. Many accidents have been caused by error of the motorcycle operator. A typical error made by the

operator is veering wide on a turn due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or undercornering (insufficient lean

angle for the speed).

a. Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic conditions.

b. Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure that other motorists can see you.

6. The posture of the operator and passenger is important for proper control.

a. The operator should keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the operator footrests

during operation to maintain control of the motorcycle.

b. 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.

c. Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place both feet on the passenger footrests.

7. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

8. This motorcycle is designed for on-road use only. It is not suitable for off-road use.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Protective apparel

The majority of fatalities from motorcycle 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.

1. Always wear an approved helmet.

2. Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vi-

sion that could delay seeing a hazard.

3. The use of a jacket, heavy boots, trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in preventing or reducing abra-

sions or lacerations.

4. Never wear loose-fitting clothes, otherwise they could catch on the control levers, footrests, or wheels

and cause injury or an accident.

5. Never touch the engine or exhaust system during or after operation. They become very hot and can

cause burns. Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet.

6. A passenger should also observe the above precautions.

Modifications

Modifications made to this motorcycle not approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment,

may render the motorcycle unsafe for use and may cause severe personal injury. Modifications may also

make your motorcycle illegal to use.

Loading and accessories

Adding accessories or cargo to your motorcycle can adversely affect stability and handling if the weight

distribution of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, use extreme caution

when adding cargo or accessories to your motorcycle. Use extra care when riding a motorcycle that has

added cargo or accessories. Here are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo or adding ac-

cessories to your motorcycle:

1-3

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

SAFETY INFORMATION

The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load

limit of 208 kg. When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind:

1. Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the motorcycle as possible. Make

sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the motorcycle to minimize imbal-

ance or instability.

2. Shifting weights can create a sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securely

attached to the motorcycle before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.

3. Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebar, front fork, or front fender. These items, in-

cluding such items as sleeping bags, duffel bags, or tents, can create unstable handling or a slow

steering response.

Accessories

Genuine Yamaha accessories have been specifically designed for use on this motorcycle. Since

Yamaha cannot test all other accessories that may be available, you must personally be responsible for

the proper selection, installation and use of non-Yamaha accessories. Use extreme caution when select-

ing and installing any accessories.

Keep the following guidelines in mind, as well as those provided under “Loading” when mounting acces-

sories.

1. Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the performance of your motorcycle. Care-

fully 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 ob-

scure lights or reflectors.

1-4

SAFETY INFORMATION

a. 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.

b. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the motorcycle due to aerodynamic

effects. Wind may attempt to lift the motorcycle, or the motorcycle may become unstable in cross

winds. These accessories may also cause instability when passing or being passed by large ve-

hicles.

c. Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improp-

er position limits the freedom of movement of the operator and may limit control ability, therefore,

such accessories are not recommended.

2. Use caution when adding electrical accessories. If electrical accessories exceed the capacity of the

motorcycle’s electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of

lights or engine power.

Gasoline and exhaust gas

1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

a. Always turn the engine off when refueling.

b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust system when refueling.

c. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.

2. Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poi-

sonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your

motorcycle in an area that has adequate ventilation.

SAFETY INFORMATION

3. Always turn the engine off before leaving the motorcycle unattended and remove the key from the

main switch. When parking the motorcycle, note the following:

a. The engine and exhaust system may be hot, therefore, park the motorcycle in a place where pe-

destrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.

b. Do not park the motorcycle on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over.

c. Do not park the motorcycle near a flammable source (e.g., a kerosene heater, or near an open

flame), otherwise it could catch fire.

4. When transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle, make sure that it is kept upright. If the motor-

cycle should lean over, gasoline may leak out of the fuel tank.

5. If you should swallow any gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get into your

eyes, see your doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash

the affected area with soap and water and change your clothes.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,

even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or loss

of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspec-

tion, to check the following points before each ride.

EAU01128

EAU04032*

0–1,000 km

Avoid prolonged operation above

5,000 r/min.

Tips for reducing fuel

consumption

Fuel consumption depends largely on

your riding style. Consider the following

tips to reduce fuel consumption:

● Thoroughly warm up the engine.

● Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-

gine speeds during acceleration.

● Do not rev the engine while shift-

ing down, and avoid high engine

speeds with no load on the engine.

● Turn the engine off instead of let-

ting it idle for an extended length

of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-

fic lights or at railroad crossings).

Engine break-in

There is never a more important period

in the life of your engine than the period

between 0 and 1,600 km. For this rea-

son, you should read the following ma-

terial carefully.

Since the engine is brand new, do not

put an excessive load on it for the first

1,600 km. The various parts in the en-

gine wear and polish themselves to the

correct operating clearances. During

this period, prolonged full-throttle oper-

ation or any condition that might result

in engine overheating must be avoided.

1,000–1,600 km

Avoid prolonged operation above

6,000 r/min.

EC000056*

CAUTION:

After 1,000 km of operation, the en-

gine oil and final gear oil must be

changed, and the oil filter cartridge

replaced.

The vehicle can now be operated nor-

mally.

The spark plugs are important engine

components, which should be checked

periodically, preferably by a Yamaha

dealer. Since heat and deposits will

cause any spark plug to slowly erode,

they should be removed and checked

in accordance with the periodic mainte-

nance and lubrication chart. In addition,

the condition of the spark plugs can re-

veal the condition of the engine.

EAU04063

The porcelain insulator around the cen-

ter electrode of each spark plug should

be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal col-

or when the motorcycle is ridden nor-

mally), and all spark plugs installed in

the engine should have the same color.

If any spark plug shows a distinctly dif-

ferent color, the engine could be defec-

tive. Do not attempt to diagnose such

problems yourself. Instead, have a

Yamaha dealer check the motorcycle.

If a spark plug shows signs of electrode

erosion and excessive carbon or other

deposits, it should be replaced.

has been changed or replaced. An

unbalanced wheel can result in

poor performance, adverse han-

Cleaning

Care

1. Cover the muffler outlets with plas-

tic bags 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 caps, are tightly in-

stalled.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,

like oil burnt onto the crankcase,

with a degreasing agent and a

brush, but never apply such prod-

ucts onto seals, gaskets and

wheel axles. Always rinse the dirt

and degreaser off with water.

While the open design of a motorcycle

reveals the attractiveness of the tech-

nology, it also makes it more vulnera-

ble. Rust and corrosion can develop

even if high-quality components are

used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go un-

noticed on a car, however, it detracts

from the overall appearance of a

motorcycle. Frequent and proper care

does not only comply with the terms of

the warranty, but it will also keep your

motorcycle looking good, extend its life

and optimize its performance.

CAUTION:

● 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 af-

fected area any longer than in-

structed. Also, thoroughly rinse

the area off with water, immedi-

ately dry it, and then apply a

corrosion protection spray.

● Improper cleaning can damage

windshields, cowlings, panels

and other plastic parts. Use

only a soft, clean cloth or

sponge with mild detergent and

water to clean plastic.
