INTRODUCTION
EAU41070
Congratulations on your purchase of the Yamaha PW50(X). This model is the result of Yamaha’s vast experience in the production of fine sporting, touring, and pacesetting racing machines. It represents the high degree of craftsmanship and reliability that have made Yamaha a leader in these fields.
This manual will give you an understanding of the operation, inspection, and basic maintenance of this motorcycle. If you
have any questions concerning the operation or maintenance of your motorcycle, please consult a Yamaha dealer.
The design and manufacture of this Yamaha motorcycle fully comply with the emissions standards for clean air applicable
at the date of manufacture. Yamaha has met these standards without reducing the performance or economy of operation of
the motorcycle. To maintain these high standards, it is important that you and your Yamaha dealer pay close attention to the
recommended maintenance schedules and operating instructions contained within this manual.
AN IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE:
●
READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING THIS MOTORCYCLE. MAKE SURE
YOU UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
●
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE WARNING AND CAUTION LABELS ON THE MOTORCYCLE.
●
NEVER OPERATE A MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING OR INSTRUCTION.
●
WEIGHT OF THE RIDER SHOULD NOT EXCEED 25 kg (55 lb).
AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS:
This motorcycle is not a toy. Before you let your child ride this motorcycle, you should understand the instructions and warnings in this Owner’s Manual. Then be sure your child understands and will follow them. Children differ in skills, physical abilities, and judgment. Some children may not be able to operate a motorcycle safely. Parents should supervise their child’s
use of the motorcycle at all times. Parents should permit continued use only if they determine that the child has the ability to
operate the motorcycle safely.
INTRODUCTION
Your motorcycle was delivered with an adjustable speed limiter and power reduction plate. Yamaha recommends that all
beginners start off with the speed limiter adjusting screw turned in and the power reduction plate installed in the exhaust manifold to limit the power available while they learn. The limiter screw may be gradually turned out to increase maximum speed
as the beginner becomes more familiar with operating the motorcycle. Parents should decide when to adjust the motorcycle
for more power as their youngster’s riding skills improve. Once the rider can operate with skill at the top speed permitted by
adjusting the speed limiter alone, the power reduction plate can be removed. Since removal of this plate will result in a significant increase in power, turn the speed limiter back in again; adjust it out in stages as you did before.
MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLE TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT UPON

EAU40931
Always make pre-operation
checks. Careful checks may help
prevent an accident.
This motorcycle is designed for
off-road use only, therefore, it is illegal to operate it on public streets,
roads, or highways, even a dirt or
gravel one. Off-road use on public
lands may be illegal. Please check
local regulations before riding.
This motorcycle is designed to carry the operator only. No passengers.
Many accidents involve inexperienced operators.
●
Make sure that the operator is
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.
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 un-
dercornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed). Never travel
faster than warranted by conditions.
●
Ride cautiously in unfamiliar areas. You may encounter hidden
obstacles that could cause an accident.
●
The posture of the operator 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.
●
Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
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
1-1
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.
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 to your motorcycle
SAFETY INFORMATION
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 accessories to
your motorcycle. Use extra care when
riding a motorcycle that has added accessories. Here are some general
guidelines to follow if adding accessories to your motorcycle:
Loading
●
The weight of the operator must
not exceed 25 kg (55 lb).
●
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 sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories are securely attached to
the motorcycle before riding.
Check accessory mounts frequently.
●
Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front fork,
or front fender.
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 these guidelines in mind for
mounting accessories in addition to
those provided under “Loading”.
●
Never install accessories or that
would impair the performance of
your motorcycle. Carefully 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.
●
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.
●
Certain accessories can displace the operator from 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 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

SAFETY INFORMATION
engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
●
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-
1
BLE:
●
Always turn the engine off when
refueling.
●
Take care not to spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust
pipe/muffler 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. When parking the motorcycle,
note the following:
●
The engine and exhaust pipe/
muffler 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 and that the fuel
cock is turned to “S” (stop). If the
motorcycle should lean over, gasoline may leak out of the carburetor or fuel tank.
●
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.
