SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU1031C

Be a Responsible Owner

As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible 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 maintenance requirements in this Owner’s Manual.

Obtain qualified training in safe and proper riding techniques.

Obtain professional technical service as indicated in this Owner’s Manual and/or when made necessary by mechanical conditions.

Never operate a motorcycle without proper training or instruction. Take a training course. Beginners should receive training from a certified instructor. Contact an authorized motorcycle dealer to find out about the training courses nearest you.

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 carry 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 ap-

pears 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.

•Never maintain a motorcycle without proper knowledge. Contact an authorized motorcycle dealer to inform you on basic motorcycle maintenance. Certain maintenance can only be carried out by certified staff.

1-1

SAFETY INFORMATION

Many accidents involve 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 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, 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.
 Wear a face shield or goggles.		1
Wind in your unprotected eyes		1
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.

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.

Shifting weights can create a sudden 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-ad- justable 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

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 “Loading” 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 1 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 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 lights or engine power.

1-4

SAFETY INFORMATION

Aftermarket Tires and Rims

1The 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.

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 tiedowns 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 compressed somewhat by the tiedowns, if possible, so that the motorcycle will not bounce excessively during transport.

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

an immobilizer system indicator light (See page 3-6.)

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.

ECA11822

NOTICE

DO NOT LOSE THE CODE REREGISTERING 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 reregistering is required (i.e., if a new standard key is made or all keys are lost) the entire immobilizer system must be replaced. Therefore, it is highly recom-

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

Do not submerse any key in water.

Do not expose any key to excessively 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 immobilizer 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.

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

Automatic deactivation of the cruise control system

The cruise control system for this model is electronically controlled and is linked with the other control systems.

3The cruise control system will automatically become deactivated under the following conditions:

The cruise control system is not able to maintain the set cruising speed.

Wheel slip or wheel spin is detected. (If the traction control system has not been turned off, the traction control system will work.)

The start/engine stop switch is set to the “” position.

The engine stalls.

The sidestand is lowered.

When traveling with a set cruising speed, if the cruise control system is deactivated under the above conditions, the “” indicator light will go off and the “SET” indicator light will flash for 4 seconds, and then go off.

When not traveling with a set cruising speed, if the start/engine stop switch is set to the “ ” position, the engine

stalls, or the sidestand is lowered, then the “” indicator light will go off (the “SET” indicator light will not flash).

If the cruise control system is automatically deactivated, please stop and confirm that your vehicle is in good operating condition.

Before using the cruise control system again, activate it using the power switch.

TIP

In some cases, the cruise control system may not be able to maintain the set cruising speed when the vehicle is traveling uphill or downhill.

When the vehicle is traveling uphill, the actual traveling speed may become lower than the set cruising speed. If this occurs, accelerate to the desired traveling speed using the throttle.

When the vehicle is traveling downhill, the actual traveling speed may become higher than the set cruising speed. If this occurs, the setting switch cannot be used to adjust the set cruising speed. To reduce the traveling

speed, apply the brakes. When the brakes are applied, the cruise control system will become deactivated.
