TIP
A WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoid, could result in
death or serious injury.
A NOTICE indicates special precautions that must be taken to avoid damage to
the vehicle or other property.
A TIP provides key information to make procedures easier or clearer.
As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation
of your motorcycle.
Motorcycles are single-track vehicles.
Their safe use and operation ar e dependent 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 instruc tions from
a competent source on all aspects
of motorcycle operation.
Observe the warnings and maintenance requirements in this Owner’s Manual.
Obtain qualified training in safe
and proper riding techniques.
Obtain professional technical service as indicated in this Owner’s
Manual and/or when made necessary by mechanical conditions.
Safe Riding
Perform the pre-operation checks each
time you use the vehicle t o make sur e 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 5-1
for a list of pre-operation checks.
This motorcycle is designed to
carry the operator and a passen ger.
The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize motorc ycles i n traffic is the predominatin g 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-
1-1
SAFETY INFORMATION
tersections are the most likely
places for motorcycle accidents
to occur.
• Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in a nothe r
motorist’s blind spot.
Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a current motorcycle license.
• Make sure that you are qualified
and that you only lend your motorcycle to other qualified operators.
• Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
• We recommend that yo u practice riding your motorcycle
where there is no traffic until you
have become thoroughly familiar with the motorcycle and all of
its controls.
Many accidents have been
caused by error of the motorcycle
operator. A typical error made by

• Always obey the speed li mit and
never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic conditions.
• Always signal before tu rning or
changing lanes. Make sure tha t
other motorists can see you.
The posture of the operator an d
passenger is impor tant for proper
control.
• The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the operator footrests during operation to maintain 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.

alcohol or other drugs.ter operation an d can cause
Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from motor cycle accidents are the result of he ad injuries. The use of a safety helmet is the
single most critical factor in the prevention 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 d elay se ein g 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 th e
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-
1-2
tem become very hot during or af-
burns.
A passenger should als o observe
the above precautions.
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breath ing carbon monoxide can caus e headaches,
dizziness, drow siness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorl ess, odor less, tasteless gas which may be
present even if you do not see or smell
any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of
carbon monoxide can collect rapidly
and you can quickly be overcome and
unable to save yourself. Also, deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can linger
for hours or days in en clos ed o r poo rly
ventilated areas. If you experience any
symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get
fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.

Loading
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.

Maximum load:
201 kg (443 lb)
When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and cl ose to
the motorcycle as possible. Securely pack your heaviest items as
close to the center of the vehicle
as possible and make sure t o dis tribute the weight as evenly as
possible on both sides of the motorcycle to minimize imbalance or
instability.
Shifting weights can cr eate a sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securely

• Never attach any large or h ea vy
items to the handlebar, front
fork, or front fender. These
items, including such cargo as

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 available only from a Yamaha dealer, have
been designed, tested, and approved
by Yamaha for use on your vehi cle .

SAFETY INFORMATION
Many companies with no connection to
Yamaha manufacture parts an d acces sories or offer other modi fications for
Yamaha vehicles. Yamah a is not in a
1
position to test the produc ts that thes e
aftermarket companies produce.
Therefore, Yamaha can neither endorse nor recommend the use of accessories not sold by Yamaha or
modifications not specifically recommended by Yamaha, even if sold and
installed by a Yamaha dealer.
Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and
Modifications
While you may find aftermarket products similar in design and quality to
genuine Yamaha accessories, recognize that some aftermarket accesso ries
or modifications are not suitable because of potential safety hazards to
you or others. Installing aftermarket
products or having other m odifications
performed to your vehicle that change
any of the vehicle’s de sign or opera tion
characteristics can pu t you and others
at greater risk of serious injury or death.
You are responsible f or in jur i es re la ted
to changes in the vehicle.
Keep the following guidelines in mind ,
as well as those provided under “Loading” when mounting acce sso rie s.
Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the performance of your motorcycle. Carefully inspect the ac cessory before
using it to make sure that it does
not in any way reduce ground
clearance or cornerin g clearance,
limit suspension travel, steering
travel or control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors.
• Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can
create instability du e to improper weight distribution or aero dynamic 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 mini mu m.
1-4
• Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability of
the motorcycle due to aerody-
namic 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 vehicles.
• Certain accessories can dis-
place the operator fr om his or
her normal riding position. This
improper position limits the freedom of movement of the operator and may limit control ability,
therefore, such accessories are
not recommended.
Use caution when adding elect rical 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.
