TABLE OF CONTENTS

SAFETY INFORMATION

MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLE TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE

AND OPERATION ARE 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 REQUIRE-

MENTS IN THE OWNER’S MAN-

UAL.

● OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING

IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING

TECHNIQUES.

● OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-

NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED

BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL

EAU10281

AND/OR WHEN MADE NECESSARY BY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS.

Safe riding

● Always make pre-operation

checks. Careful checks may help prevent an accident.

● This motorcycle is designed to car-

ry the operator and a passenger.

● 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:

• Wear a brightly colored jacket.

• Use extra caution when you are

approaching and passing through intersections, since intersections 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.

● Many accidents involve inexperi-

enced 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 you 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 the operator is veering wide on a turn

1-1

SAFETY INFORMATION

due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or undercornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed).

• Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warranted 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 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.

● 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 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.

● 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.

● 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.

● 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 accessories to your motorcycle:

1-2

SAFETY INFORMATION

Loading The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must

not exceed the maximum load limit.

Maximum load:

196 kg (432 lb)

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. Make sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the motorcycle to minimize imbalance or instability.

● Shifting weights can create a sud-

den imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securely attached to the motorcycle before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.

● 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 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 selecting and installing any accessories. Keep the following guidelines in mind, as well as those provided under “Load- ing” when mounting accessories.

● Never install accessories or carry

cargo that would impair the perfor-

mance 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 obscure lights or reflectors.

• 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.

• 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 vehicles.

• Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the freedom of movement of the opera-

1-3

SAFETY INFORMATION

tor and may limit control ability, therefore, such accessories are not recommended.

● Use caution when adding electri-

cal 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

● GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-

BLE:

• Always turn the engine off when refueling.

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

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

● Never start the engine or let it run

for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your motorcycle in an area that has adequate ventilation.

● 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:

• The engine and exhaust system may be hot, therefore, park the motorcycle in a place where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.

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

• Do not park the motorcycle near a flammable source, (e.g., a kerosene heater, or near an open flame), otherwise it could catch fire.

● When transporting the motorcycle

in another vehicle, make sure that it is kept upright. If the motorcycle should lean over, gasoline may leak out of the fuel tank.

● If you should swallow any gaso-

line, 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

1-4

or clothing, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water and change your clothes.

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

EAU10974

Immobilizer system

1. Code re-registering key (red bow)

2. Standard keys (black bow)

This vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system to help prevent theft by re-registering codes in the standard keys. This system consists of the following.

● a code re-registering key (with a

red bow)

● two standard keys (with a black

bow) that can be re-registered with new codes

● a transponder (which is installed in

the code re-registering key)

● an immobilizer unit

● an ECU (Electronic Control Unit)

● an immobilizer system indicator

light (See page 3-4.) The key with the red bow is used to register codes in each standard key. Since re-registering is a difficult process, take the vehicle along with all three keys to a Yamaha dealer to have them re-registered. Do not use the key with the red bow for driving. It should only be used for re-registering the standard keys. Always use a standard key for driving.

ECA11821

CAUTION:

● DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-

REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT

YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY

IF IT IS LOST! If the code re-reg-

istering key is lost, registering

new codes in the standard keys

is impossible. The standard

keys can still be used to start

the vehicle, however if code re-

registering is required (i.e., if a

new standard key is made or all

keys are lost) the entire immobi-

lizer system must be replaced.

Therefore, it is highly recom-

mended to use either standard key and keep the code re-registering key in a safe place.

● Do not submerse any key in wa-

ter.

● Do not expose any key to exces-

sively high temperatures.

● Do not place any key close to

magnets (this includes, but not limited to, products such as speakers, etc.).

● Do not place items that transmit

electrical signals close to any key.

● Do not place heavy items on any

key.

● Do not grind any key or alter its

shape.

● Do not disassemble the plastic

part of any key.

● Do not put two keys of any im-

mobilizer system on the same key ring.

● Keep the standard keys as well

as keys of other immobilizer systems away from this vehicle’s code re-registering key.

This model is also equipped with a selfdiagnosis device for the immobilizer system. If any of the immobilizer system circuits are defective, the immobilizer system indicator light will flash, and then the display will indicate a two-digit error code.

NOTE:

If the display indicates error code 52, this could be caused by transponder interference. If this error code appears, try the following.

1. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.

NOTE:

Make sure there are no other immobilizer keys close to the main switch, and do not keep more than one immobilizer key on the same key ring! Immobilizer system keys may cause signal interference, which may prevent the engine from starting.

2. If the engine starts, turn it off and try starting the engine with the standard keys.

3. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the vehicle, the code re-registering key and both standard keys to a Yamaha dealer and have the standard keys re-registered.

If the display indicates any error codes, note the code number, and then have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
