SAFETY INFORMATION
EAU10251
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 INSTRUC-
TIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF MOTORCYCLE OPERATION.
● OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND
MAINTENANCE REQUIRE­MENTS IN THE OWNER’S MAN­UAL.
● OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING
IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES.
● OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-
NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL
AND/OR WHEN MADE NECES­SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI­TIONS.
Safe riding
● Always make pre-operation
checks. Careful checks may help prevent an accident.
● This motorcycle is designed to car-
ry the operator and a passenger.
● 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 ap-
proaching 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 motorcycle accidents in-
volve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current motorcycle li­cense.
• 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 where there is no traffic until you have become thoroughly famil­iar with the motorcycle and all of its controls.
● Many motorcycle 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).
• Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warrant­ed by road and traffic conditions.
• Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure that other motorists can see you.
● The posture of the operator and
passenger 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.
• The passenger should always hold onto the operator, seat strap, or grab bar, if equipped, with both hands and keep both feet on the passenger footrests.
• Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place both feet on the passenger footrests.
● Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
● This motorcycle is designed for on-
road use only, therefore, it is not suitable for off-road use.
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 which 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.
● Passengers should also observe
the precautions mentioned above.
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.
Loading and accessories
Adding accessories or cargo 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 cargo or accessories to your motorcycle. Use extra care when riding a motorcycle that has added cargo or accessories. Here are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo or adding acces­sories to your motorcycle:
SAFETY INFORMATION
1-3
1
Loading The total weight of the operator, pas­senger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit.
When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind:
● Cargo and 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 sud-
den imbalance. Make sure that ac­cessories and cargo are securely attached to the motorcycle before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.
● Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front fork, or front fender. These items, in­cluding such cargo as sleeping bags, duffel bags, or tents, can create unstable handling or slow
steering response. 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 the following guidelines in mind, as well as those provided under “Load- ing” when mounting accessories.
● Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the perfor-
mance of your motorcycle. Care-
fully 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, or ob­scure lights or reflectors.
• 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. These ac­cessories may also cause instability when passing or being passed by large vehicles.
• Certain accessories can dis­place the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the free­dom of movement of the opera-
Maximum load:
XVS11ATW 203 kg (448 lb) XVS11ATWC 200 kg (441 lb) XVS11AWW 203 kg (448 lb) XVS11AWWC 200 kg (441 lb) XVS11W 200 kg (441 lb) XVS11WC 197 kg (434 lb)

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.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
● GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-
BLE:
• Always turn the engine off when refueling.
• Take care not to spill any gaso­line on the engine or exhaust system 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 system 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 “ON” or “RES” (for vacuum type) / “OFF” (for manual type). If it should lean over, gaso­line may leak out of the carburetor or fuel tank.
● If you should swallow any gaso-
line, 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.

Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in the tank. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler tube as shown.
WARNING
EWA10880
● Do not overfill the fuel tank, oth-
erwise it may overflow when the fuel warms up and expands.
● Avoid spilling fuel on the hot en-
gine.
CAUTION:
ECA10070
Immediately wipe off spilled fuel with a clean, dry, soft cloth, since fuel may deteriorate painted surfac­es or plastic parts.
EAU13300
CAUTION:
ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline will cause severe damage to internal engine parts, such as the valves and piston rings, as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de­signed to use regular unleaded gaso­line with a pump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a research octane number of 91 or higher. If
knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of a different brand or premi­um unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug life and reduce maintenance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso­hol containing ethanol and that contain­ing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if the ethanol con­tent does not exceed 10%. Gasohol containing methanol is not recom­mended by Yamaha because it can cause damage to the fuel system or ve­hicle performance problems.
