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. Your motorcycle was delivered with a removable power reduction plate. Yamaha recommends that all beginners start off with the power reduction plate installed to limit the engine power available while they learn. Parents should decide when to re­move the power reduction plate from 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 power reduction plate installed, the power reduction plate can be re­moved.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Safe riding

EAU41211
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.
Be sure the transmission is in neu­tral before starting the engine.
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.
1-1
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.
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.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Loading and accessories
Adding accessories 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 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 40 kg (88 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 fre-
quently.
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

SAFETY INFORMATION
electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of engine power.

Gasoline and exhaust gas
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA­BLE:
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 “OFF”. 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.
