SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU01771

TWO-WHEELED MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLE TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECH NIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE

FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS BEFORE RIDING. HE OR SHE SHOULD:

1. OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF MOTORCYCLE OPERATION.

2. OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNER’S MANUAL.

3. OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES.

4. OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND/OR WHEN MADE NECESSARY BY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS.

Safe riding

1. Always make pre-operation checks. Careful checks may help prevent an accident.

2. This motorcycle is designed to carry the operator and a passenger.

3. 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:

a. Wear a brightly colored jacket. b. Use extra caution when you approach and pass through intersections, since intersections are the

most likely places for motorcycle accidents.

c. Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist’s “blind spot”.

1-1

SAFETY INFORMATION

4. Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current motorcycle license. a. Make sure you are qualified. Also, only lend your motorcycle to experienced operators. b. Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident. c. We recommend that you practice riding your motorcycle where there is no traffic until you have

become thoroughly familiar with your motorcycle and all of its controls.

5. Many motorcycle accidents have been caused by motorcycle operator errors. 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). a. Always obey the speed limits and never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic condi-

tions.

b. Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure other motorists see you.

6. The operator’s and passenger’s posture are important for proper control. a. The operator should keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the operator footrests

during operation to maintain control of the motorcycle.

b. The passenger should always hold on to the operator, or the seat strap or grab bar if the motor-

cycle is so equipped, with both hands and keep both feet on the passenger footrests.

c. Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place both feet on the passenger footrests.

7. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

8. This motorcycle is designed for on-road use only. It is not suitable for off-r oad use.

1-2

SAFETY INFORMATION

Protective apparel

The majority of fatalities from motorcycle accid en ts are the resu lt of he ad injuri es. Th e u se of a saf et y

helmet is the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries.

1. Always wear an approved helmet.

2. Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind on your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vision which could delay seeing a hazard.

3. The use of heavy boots, jacket, trousers, gloves, etc. is effective in preventing or reducing abrasions or lacerations.

4. Never wear loose fitting clothing. It could catch on the control levers, footrests, or wheels and cause injury or accident.

5. Never touch the engine or exhaust system during or after operation. They become very hot and ca n cause burns. Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet.

6. A passenger should also observe the above precautions.

Modification

Modifications made to the motorcycle not approved by Yamah a, or t he remo val of original equipme nt, may render your motorcycle unsafe for use and may cause severe personal injury. Mod ificatio ns 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 machine is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, extreme caution should be used if adding cargo or accessories to your motorcycle. Use ext ra care if riding a motorcycle which has added cargo or accessories. Here are some genera l guidelines to follow if load ing cargo or adding accessories to your motorcycle:

1-3

SAFETY INFORMATION

The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit of 180 kg: XVS650 / 201 kg: XVS650A. When loading within these weight limits, keep the following in mind:

1. Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the motorcycle as possible. Be sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the machine to minimize imbalance or instability.

2. Shifting weights can create a sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securely attached to the motorcycle before riding. Recheck accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.

3. Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebars, fr ont forks, or front fender. These items, including such cargo as sleeping bags, duffle 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 which may b e available, you must personally be respon sible for the proper selection, installation and use of non-Yamaha accessories. You should use extreme caution when selecting and installing any accessories. Keep in mind these guidelines for mounting accessories in addition to those provided under “LOADING”.

1. Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the performance of your motorcycle. Carefully inspect the accessory before using it to make sure 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.

1-4

SAFETY INFORMATION

a. 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.

b. 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 being passed by or passing large vehicles.

c. Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improp-

er position limits the freedom of movement of the operator and may limit control ability. Therefor e such accessories are not recommended.

2. Caution must be used if adding electrical accessories. If these 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

1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: a. Always turn off the engine when refueling. b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust system when refueling. c. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.

2. Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust f umes 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.

3. Always turn off the engine before leaving the motorcycle unattended and remove the ignition key. When parking the motorcycle, note the following:

1-5

SAFETY INFORMATION

a. The engine and exhaust system may be hot. Park the motorcycle in a place where pedestrians or

children are not likely to touch these hot areas. b. Do not park the motorcycle on a slope or soft ground; the motorcycle may fall over. c. Do not park the motorcycle near a flammable source, e.g. a kerosene heater, or near an open

flame. The motorcycle could catch fire.

4. When transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle, be sure it is kept upright and that the fuel cock is turned to “ON” or “RES” (for vacuum type) / “OFF” (for manual type). I f it should lean over, gasoline may leak out of the carburetor or fuel tank.

5. If you should swallow any gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get in your eyes, see your doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water and change your clothes.

Engine break-in

There is never a more important period in the life of your motorcycle than the period between zero and 1,600 km. For this reason we ask that you carefully read the following material. Because the engine is brand new, you must not put an excessive load on it for the first 1,600 km. The various parts in the engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances. During this period, prolonged full throttle operation, or any condition which might result in excessive heating of the engine, must be avoided.

EAU01171

0 ~ 1,000 km

Avoid operation above 1/3 throttle.

1,000 ~ 1,600 km

Avoid cruising speeds in excess of 1/2 throttle.

1. Spark plug wrench

Inspection

The spark plug is an important engine component and is easy to inspect. The condition of the spark plug can indicate the condition of the engine. Normally, all spark plugs from the same engine should have the same color on the white insulator around the center electrode. The ideal color at this point is a medium-to-light tan color for a motorcycle that is being ridden normally. If one spark plug shows a distinctly different color, there could be something wrong with the engine.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

Do not attempt to diagnose such problems yourself. Instead, take the motorcycle to a Yamaha dealer. You should periodically remove and inspect the spark plugs because heat and deposits will cause any spark plug to slowly break down and erode. If electrode erosion becomes excessive, or if carbon and other deposits are excessive, you should replace the spark plug with the specified plug.

Specified spark plug:

DPR7EA-9 (NGK) or X22EPR-U9 (DENSO)

Troubleshooting

Although Yamaha motorcycles receive a rigid inspection before shipment from the factory, trouble may occur during operation. Any problem in the fuel, compression, or ignition systems can cause poor starting and loss of power. The troubleshooting chart describes a quick, easy procedure for making checks. If your motorcycle requires any repair, bring it to a Yamaha dealer. The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealership have the tools, experience, and knowhow to properly service your motorcycle. Use only genuine Yamaha parts on your motorcycle. Imitation parts may look like Yamaha parts, but they are often inferior. Consequently, they have a shorter service life and can lead to expensive repair bills.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

EAU01521

Care

The exposure of its technology makes a motorcycle charming but also vulnerable. Although high-quality components are used, they are not all rustresistant. While a rusty exhaust pipe may remain unnoticed on a car, it does look unattractive on a motorcycle. Frequent and proper care, however, will keep your motorcycle looking good, extend its life and maintain its performance. Moreover, the warranty states that the vehicle must be properly taken care of. For all these reasons, it is recommended that you observe the following cleaning and storing precautions.

Before cleaning

1. Cover up the muffler outlets with plastic bags.

2. Make sure that all caps and covers as well as all electrical couplers and connectors, including the spark plug caps, are tightly installed.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt, like oil burnt onto the crankcase, with a degreasing agent and a brush, but never apply such products onto seals, gaskets and wheel axles. Always rinse the dirt and degreaser off with water.

Cleaning

After normal use Remove dirt with warm water, a neutral detergent and a soft clean sponge, then rinse with plenty of clean water. Use a tooth or bottle brush for hard-toreach parts. Tougher dirt and insects will come off more easily if the area is covered with a wet cloth for a few minutes before cleaning.

7-1

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

CAUTION:

Avoid using strong acidic wheel

●

cleaners, especially on spoked wheels. If you do use such products for hard-to-remove dirt, do not leave it on any longer than instructed, then thoroughly rinse it off with water, immediately dry the area and apply a corrosion protection spray. Improper cleaning can damage

●

windshields, cowlings, panels and other plastic parts. Use only a soft, clean cloth or sponge with mild detergent and water to clean plastic.

ECA00010

Do not use any harsh chemical

●

products on plastic parts. Be sure to avoid using cloths or sponges which have been in contact with strong or abrasive cleaning products, solvent or thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust removers or inhibitors, brake fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte. Do not use high-pressure wash-

●

ers or steam-jet cleaners since they cause water seepage and deterioration in the following areas: seals (of wheel bearings, swingarm bearings, forks and brakes), electric components (couplers, connectors, instruments, switches and lights), breather hoses and vents.

For motorcycles equipped with

●

a windshield: Do not use strong cleaners or hard sponges as they will cause dulling or scratching. Some cleaning compounds for plastic may leave scratches on the windshield. Test the product on a small hidden part of the windshield to make sure they do not leave any marks. If the windshield is scratched, use a quality plastic polishing compound after washing.

After riding in the rain, near the sea or on salt-sprayed roads Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the roads in the winter are extremely corrosive in combination with water, carry out the following steps after each ride in the rain, near the sea or on saltsprayed roads. (Salt sprayed in the winter may remain on the roads well into spring.)

7-2

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

WARNING

CAUTION:

NOTE:

1. Clean your motorcycle with cold water and soap after the engine has cooled down.

CAUTION:

Do not use warm water since it increases the corrosive action of the salt.

2. Be sure to apply a corrosion protection spray on all (even chromeand nickel-plated) metal surfaces to prevent corrosion.

ECA00012

After cleaning

1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois or an absorbing cloth.

2. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome, aluminum and stainlesssteel parts, including the exhaust system. (Even the thermally induced discoloring of stainlesssteel exhaust systems can be removed through polishing.)

3. To prevent corrosion, it is recommended to apply a corrosion protection spray on all (even chromeand nickel-plated) metal surfaces.

4. Use spray oil as a universal cleaner to remove any remaining dirt.

5. Touch up minor paint damage caused by stones, etc.

6. Wax all painted surfaces.

7. Let the motorcycle dry completely before storing it or covering it.

EWA00001

Make sure that there is no oil or wax on the brakes and tires. If necessary, clean the brake discs and linings with a regular brake disc cleaner or acetone, and wash the tires with warm water and mild soap. Then, carefully test the motorcycle for its braking performance and cornering behavior.

Apply spray oil and wax spar-

●

ECA00013

ingly and wipe off any excess. Never apply oil or wax on rub-

●

ber and plastic parts, but treat them with a suitable care product. Avoid using abrasive polishing

●

compounds as they wear away the paint.

7-3

Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on what products to use.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

WARNING

Storage

Short-term

Always store your motorcycle in a cool, dry place and, if necessary, protect it against dust with a porous cover.

CAUTION:

Storing the motorcycle in a

●

poorly ventilated room or covering it with a tarp while it is still wet will allow water and humidity to seep in and cause rust. To prevent corrosion, avoid

●

damp cellars, stables (because of the presence of ammonia) and areas where strong chemicals are stored.

ECA00014

Long-term

Before storing your motorcycle for several months:

1. Follow all the instructions in the “Care” section of this chapter.

2. Drain the carburetor float chambers by loosening the drain bolts; this will prevent fuel deposits from building up. Pour the drained fuel into the fuel tank.

3. Only for motorcycles equipped with a fuel cock which has an “OFF” position: Turn the fuel cock to “OFF”.

4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer (if available) to prevent the fuel tank from rusting and the fuel from deteriorating.

5. Perform the following steps to protect the cylinders, piston rings, etc. from corrosion.

a. Remove the spark plug caps and

spark plugs.

b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil

into each spark plug bore.

c. Install the spark plug caps onto the

spark plugs and place the spark plugs on the cylinder head so that the electrodes are grounded. (This will limit sparking during the next step.)

d. Turn the engine over several times

with the starter. (This will coat the cylinder walls with oil.)

e. Remove the spark plug caps from

the spark plugs, install the spark plugs and then the spark plug caps.

EWA00003

When turning the engine over, be sure to ground the spark plug electrodes to prevent damage or injury from sparking.

6. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting points of all levers and pedals as well as of the sidestand/ centerstand.

7-4

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

7. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air pressure, then raise the motorcycle so that both of its wheels are off the ground. Alternatively, turn the wheels a little every month in order to prevent the tires from becoming degraded in one spot.

8. Cover up the muffler outlets with plastic bags to prevent moisture from entering.

9. Remove the battery and fully charge it. Store it in a cool, dry place and recharge it once a month. Do not store the battery in an excessively cold or warm place

(less than 0 °C or more than 30 °C). For more information, see “Battery storage” in the chapter “PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIRS”.

NOTE:

Make any necessary repairs before storing the motorcycle.
