SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU39313

Safe riding

Always make pre-operation

1checks. Careful checks may help prevent an accident.

This motorcycle is designed for offroad 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. 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 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

1-2

weight distribution or aerodynamic changes. If accessories are added to the handlebar or

front fork area, they must be as 1 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Gasoline and exhaust gas

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

1• Always turn the engine off when refueling.

Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust pipe(s)/muffler(s) 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 and remove the key from the main switch. When parking the motorcycle, note the following:

The engine and exhaust pipe(s)/ muffler(s) 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(s) are turned to “ON” or “RES” (for vacuum type)/“OFF” (for manual type). 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.
