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

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

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.
