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 Own­ers 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 motorists 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.

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 motorcycles 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.
