SAFETY INFORMATION
Be a Responsible Owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are respon-
sible for the safe and proper operation
2
of your motorcycle.
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 instructions from
a competent source on all aspects
of motorcycle operation.
● Observe the warnings and mainte-
nance requirements in this Owner’s Manual.
● Obtain qualified training in safe
and proper riding techniques.
● Obtain professional technical ser-
vice as indicated in this Owner’s
Manual and/or when made necessary by mechanical conditions.
EAU41219
Safe Riding
Perform the pre-operation checks each
time you use the vehicle to make sure 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 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 car-
ry the operator only. No passengers.
● 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.
• 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 until
you have become thoroughly familiar with the motorcycle and all
of its controls.
2-1
SAFETY INFORMATION
● 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 undercornering (insufficient lean angle
for the speed). Never travel faster
than warranted by conditions.
● Ride cautiously in unfamiliar ar-
eas. You may encounter hidden
obstacles that could cause an accident.
● The posture of the operator is im-
portant 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 neu-
tral 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.
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.
● Always wear protective clothing
that covers your legs, ankles, and
feet. The engine or exhaust system become very hot during or after operation and can cause burns.
2-2
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches,
dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, 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 enclosed or poorly
ventilated areas. If you experience any
symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get
fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.
● Do not run engine indoors. Even if
you try to ventilate engine exhaust
with fans or open windows and
doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
● Do not run engine in poorly venti-
lated or partially enclosed areas
such as barns, garages, or carports.
2
SAFETY INFORMATION
● Do not run engine outdoors where
engine exhaust can be drawn into
a building through openings such
as windows and doors.

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:
Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.
● The weight of the operator must
not exceed TT-R125E 68.0 kg
(150 lb).
● Accessory weight should be kept
as low and close to the motorcycle
as possible. Securely pack your
heaviest items as close to the center of the vehicle as possible and
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 are securely attached to
the motorcycle before riding.
Check accessory mounts frequently.
• Properly adjust the suspension
for your load (suspension-adjustable models only), and
check the condition and pressure of your tires.
• Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front
fork, or front fender.
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 vehicle.
Many companies with no connection to
Yamaha manufacture parts and accessories or offer other modifications for
Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a
2-3
position to test the products that these
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 accessories
or modifications are not suitable because of potential safety hazards to you
or others. Installing aftermarket products or having other modifications performed to your vehicle that change any
of the vehicle’s design or operation
characteristics can put you and others
at greater risk of serious injury or death.
You are responsible for injuries related
to changes in the vehicle.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under “Load-
ing” when mounting accessories.
SAFETY INFORMATION
● Never install accessories 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. 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. 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 opera-
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.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to provide
the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims, sizes, and combinations may not be
appropriate. Refer to page 7-14 for tire
specifications and more information on
replacing your tires.
Transporting the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instructions before transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle.
● Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
● Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the “OFF” position
and that there are no fuel leaks.
● Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to prevent movement.
● Shift the transmission in gear (for
models with a manual transmission).
● Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the motorcycle, such as the frame or upper front fork triple clamp (and not,
for example, to rubber-mounted
handlebars or turn signals, or parts
that could break). Choose the location for the straps carefully so
the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.
● The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tiedowns, if possible, so that the motorcycle will not bounce excessively during transport.
