SAFETY INFORMATION

Be a Responsible Owner

As the vehicle’s owner, you are respon- sible for the safe and proper operation 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 Own-

er’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 neces-

sary by mechanical conditions.

EAU10314

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 4-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.

● 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 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. 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 accidents have been caused

by error of the motorcycle operator. A typical error made by the operator is veering wide on a turn

1-1

SAFETY INFORMATION

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, the 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.

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.

● A passenger should also observe

the above precautions.

1-2

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 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, along with the information about accessories below, are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo to your motorcycle: The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit.

Operation of an overloaded vehicle could cause an accident.

Maximum load:

209 kg (461 lb)

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. 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 and cargo are securely attached to the motorcycle before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints 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. These items, including such cargo as sleeping bags, duffel bags, or

tents, can create unstable handling or a slow steering response.

● This vehicle is not designed to

pull a trailer or to be attached to a sidecar.

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 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.

1-3

SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

● Never install accessories or carry

cargo 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, 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-

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 6-18 for tire specifications and more information on replacing your tires.

Immobilizer system

1. Code re-registering key (red bow)

2. Standard keys (black bow)

This vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system to help prevent theft by re-registering codes in the standard keys. This system consists of the following:

● a code re-registering key (with a

red bow)

● two standard keys (with a black

bow) that can be re-registered with new codes

● a transponder (which is installed in

the code re-registering key)

● an immobilizer unit

● an ECU

3-1

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

● an immobilizer system indicator

light (See page 3-4.) The key with the red bow is used to register codes in each standard key. Since re-registering is a difficult process, take the vehicle along with all three keys to a Yamaha dealer to have them re-registered. Do not use the key with the red

bow for driving. It should only be used for re-registering the standard keys. Always use a standard key for driving.

NOTICE

● DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-

REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT

YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY

IF IT IS LOST! If the code re-reg-

istering key is lost, registering

new codes in the standard keys

is impossible. The standard

keys can still be used to start

the vehicle, however if code re-

registering is required (i.e., if a

new standard key is made or all

keys are lost) the entire immobi-

lizer system must be replaced.

Therefore, it is highly recom-

ECA11821

mended to use either standard key and keep the code re-registering key in a safe place.

● Do not submerse any key in wa-

ter.

● Do not expose any key to exces-

sively high temperatures.

● Do not place any key close to

magnets (this includes, but not limited to, products such as speakers, etc.).

● Do not place items that transmit

electrical signals close to any key.

● Do not place heavy items on any

key.

● Do not grind any key or alter its

shape.

● Do not disassemble the plastic

part of any key.

● Do not put two keys of any im-

mobilizer system on the same key ring.

● Keep the standard keys as well

as keys of other immobilizer systems away from this vehicle’s code re-registering key.

● Keep other immobilizer system

keys away from the main switch as they may cause signal interference.
