GIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY
EAU00021
Motorcycles are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and freedom. However, they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best motorcycle does not ignore the laws of physics.
1
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving value and operating condition of your motorcycle. Moreover, what is true for the motorcycle is also true for the rider: good performance depends on being in good shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of course, out of the question. Motorcycle ridersmore than car driversmust always be at their mental and physical best. Under the influence of even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take dangerous risks.
Protective clothing is as essential for the motorcycle rider as seat belts are for car drivers and passengers. Always wear a complete motorcycle suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic materials with protectors), sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum protective wear, however, should not encourage carelessness. Although full-coverage helmets and suits, in particular, create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable. Riders who lack critical self-control run the risk of going too fast and are apt to take chances. This is even more dangerous in wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, predictably and defensivelyavoiding all dangers, including those caused by others.
Enjoy your ride!

This shock absorber contains high­ly pressurized nitrogen gas. For proper handling, read and under­stand the following information be­fore handling the shock absorber. The manufacturer cannot be held re­sponsible for property damage or personal injury that may result from improper handling.
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the gas cylinder. Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber to an open flame or other high heat sources, otherwise it may explode due to excessive gas pressure. Do not deform or damage the
gas cylinder in any way, as this will result in poor damping per­formance. Always have a Yamaha dealer
service the shock absorber.
