Safe riding

8 Always make pre-operation checks.

Careful checks may help prevent
an accident.

8 This scooter is designed to carry

the operator and passenger.

8 The failure of motorists to detect

and recognize scooters in traffic is
the predominating cause of auto-
mobile/scooter accidents. Many
accidents have been caused by an
automobile driver who did not see
the scooter. Making yourself

con-
spicuous appears to be very effec-
tive in reducing the chance of this
type of accident.

Therefore:

9 Wear a brightly colored jacket.
9 Use extra caution when ap-

proaching and passing through
intersections, since intersec-
tions are the most likely places
for scooter accidents to

occur.

9 Ride where other motorists can

see

you.

Avoid

riding in another

motorist’s blind spot.

1-1

8 Many accidents involve inexperi-

enced

operators.

In fact, many op-
erators who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a

cur-
rent driver’s license.
9 Make sure that you are quali-

fied and that you only lend your
scooter to other qualified
operators.

9 Know your skills and limits.

Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.

9 We recommend that you

practice riding your scooter
where there is no traffic until
you have become thoroughly
familiar with the scooter and all
of its controls.

8 Many accidents have been caused

by error of the scooter 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).
9 Always obey the speed limit

and never travel faster than
warranted by road and traffic
conditions.

Q SAFETY INFORMATION

9 Always signal before turning or

changing
other motorists can see you.

8 The posture of the operator and

passenger is important for proper
control.
9 The operator should keep both

hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the footboard
during operation to maintain
control of the scooter.

9 The passenger should always

hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger foot-
rests.

9 Never carry a passenger unless

he or she can firmly place both
feet on the passenger foot-
rests.

8 Never ride under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs.

8

This

scooter
use only. It is not suitable for off-
road use.

Protective apparel

The majority of fatalities from scooter

lanes.

Make sure that

is designed

for on-road

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.

8 Always wear an approved helmet.
8 Wear a

in
tribute to an impairment of vision
which could delay seeing a hazard.

8 The use of a jacket, substantial

shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is
effective in preventing or reducing
abrasions or lacerations.

8 Never wear loose-fitting clothes,

otherwise they could catch on the
control levers or wheels and cause
injury or an accident.

8 Never touch the engine or exhaust

system during or after operation.
They become very hot and can
cause burns. Always wear protec-
tive clothing that covers your legs,
ankles, and feet.

8 Passengers should also observe

the above precautions.

Loading and accessories

Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution of
the scooter is changed. To avoid the
possibility of an accident, use extreme
caution when adding cargo or accesso-
ries to your scooter. Use extra care when
riding a scooter that has added cargo or
accessories. Here are some general
guidelines to follow if loading cargo or
adding accessories to your scooter:

extreme caution when selecting and in-
stalling any accessories.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under “Load-
ing” when mounting accessories.

8 Never install accessories or carry

cargo that would impair the
mance of your scooter. Carefully
inspect the accessory before us-
ing it to make sure that it does not
in any way reduce ground
ance or cornering clearance, limit
suspension travel, steering travel
or control operation, or obscure
lights or reflectors.
9 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.

9 Bulky or large accessories may

seriously affect the stability of
the scooter due to aerodynamic
effects. Wind may attempt to

perfor-

clear-

lift the scooter, or the scooter
may become unstable in cross
winds.

These accessories may
also cause instability when
passing or being passed by
large vehicles.

9 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 recom-
mended.

8 Use caution when adding electrical

accessories. If electrical accesso-
ries exceed the capacity of the
scooter’s electrical system an elec-
tric failure could
cause a dangerous loss of lights or

CONSUMER INFORMATION

Q. What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?
A. The customer's responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance services, non-

warranty repairs, accident and collision damages, and oil, oil filters, air filters, spark
plugs,

and brake shoes.

Q. What are some examples of "abnormal" strain, neglect, or abuse?
A. These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples include:

Running the machine out of oil, sustained high-rpm, full-throttle, operating the
machine with a broken or damaged part which causes another part to
or failure due to improper or careless transporation and or tie down. If you have any
specific questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your dealer for advice.

Q. Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as towing or transportation due to

a failure?

A. No. The warranty is limited to repair of the machine itself.

Q. May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owner's

Manual instead of having the dealer do them?

A. Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owner's

and Service Manual. We do recommend, however, that items requiring special tools
or equipment be done by a Yamaha Riva dealer.

Q. Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new Riva

exactly as specified in the Owner's Manual?

A. No. The warranty on a new Riva cannot be "voided" or "cancelled." However, if a

particular failure Is caused by operation or maintenance other than as shown in the
Owner's Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.

Q. What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty?
A. Each Yamaha Riva dealer is expected to:

1.

Completely set up every new machine before sale.

2.

Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satisfa-

tion at the time of sale, and upon your request at any later date.

3. Each Yamaha Riva dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and
warranty repair work.

Q. Is the warranty transferable to second owners?
A. Yes. The remainder of the existing warranty can be transferred upon request. The

unit has to be inspected and re-registered by an authorized Yamaha Riva dealer for
the policy to remain effective.

Keep your Yamaha protected even after your warranty
expires with genuine Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.).

• Y.E.S. is designed and administered by Yamaha Motor

Corporation to provide maximum owner satisfaction. You
get uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra
peace of mind.

• Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that’s right for

you:

12 months, 24 months, 36 months or, on certain

models, even 48 months beyond your warranty period.

• Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same

Yamaha people who handle your warranty - and it
shows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There
are no mileage limitations. Coverage isn’t limited to
“moving parts” or the “drive train” like many other plans.
And Y.E.S. covers manufacturing defects just like the
warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamaha
dealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory-
backed protection can be.

• You don’t have to pay anything for covered repairs.

There’s no deductible to pay, and repairs aren’t
“pro-rated.” You don’t have any “out-of-pocket” expenses
for covered repairs.

. In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection

(TRIP) is included at no extra cost. TRIP gives you up to
$150 reimbursement per occurrence for any reasonable
expenses you incur because your Yamaha needs
covered service: replacement vehicle rental, emergency
towing,

phone calls, even food and lodging when you are
away from home. This superb coverage goes into effect
when you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any warranty

repairs as well as covered repairs during your entire

Y.E.S.

plan period.

• Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha

dealer nationwide.

• Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to a new owner if you

sell or trade-in. That can make your Yamaha much more

valuable!

This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only available to
Yamaha owners like you, and only while your Yamaha is still
within the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So visit your
authorized Yamaha dealer to get all the facts. He can show
you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha
Extended Service.

9-9

We urge you to act now. You’ll get the excellent benefits of
TRIP coverage right away, and you’ll rest easy knowing
you’ll have strong factory-backed protection even after your
Yamaha Limited Warranty expires.

A special note:
If visiting your dealer isn’t convenient, contact Yamaha with
your Primary ID number (your frame number). We’ll be
happy to help you get the
