Be a Responsible OwnerAs the vehicle’s owner, you are respon-sible for the safe and proper operationof your motorcycle.Motorcycles are single-track vehicles.Their safe use and operation are de-pendent upon the use of proper ridingtechniques as well as the expertise ofthe operator. Every operator shouldknow the following requirements beforeriding this motorcycle.He or she should:

● Obtain thorough instructions froma competent source on all aspectsof motorcycle operation.

● Observe the warnings and mainte-nance requirements in this Own-er’s Manual.

● Obtain qualified training in safeand proper riding techniques.

● Obtain professional technical ser-vice as indicated in this Owner’sManual and/or when made neces-sary by mechanical conditions.

Safe RidingPerform the pre-operation checks eachtime you use the vehicle to make sure itis in safe operating condition. Failure toinspect or maintain the vehicle properlyincreases the possibility of an accidentor equipment damage. See page 5-1for a list of pre-operation checks.

● This motorcycle is designed tocarry the operator and a passen-ger.

● The failure of motorists to detectand recognize motorcycles in traf-fic is the predominating cause ofautomobile/motorcycle accidents.Many accidents have beencaused by an automobile driverwho did not see the motorcycle.Making yourself conspicuous ap-pears to be very effective in reduc-ing the chance of this type ofaccident.Therefore:• Wear a brightly colored jacket.• Use extra caution when you are

approaching and passingthrough intersections, since in-

tersections are the most likelyplaces for motorcycle accidentsto occur.

• Ride where other motorists cansee you. Avoid riding in anothermotorist’s blind spot.

● Many accidents involve inexperi-enced operators. In fact, many op-erators who have been involved inaccidents do not even have a cur-rent motorcycle license.• Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend your mo-torcycle to other qualified opera-tors.

• Know your skills and limits.Staying within your limits mayhelp you to avoid an accident.

• We recommend that you prac-tice riding your motorcyclewhere there is no traffic until youhave become thoroughly famil-iar with the motorcycle and all ofits controls.

● Many accidents have beencaused by error of the motorcycleoperator. A typical error made by


SAFETY INFORMATION

the operator is veering wide on aturn due to excessive speed or un-dercornering (insufficient lean an-gle for the speed).• Always obey the speed limit and

never travel faster than warrant-ed by road and traffic condi-tions.

• Always signal before turning orchanging lanes. Make sure thatother motorists can see you.

● The posture of the operator andpassenger is important for propercontrol.• The operator should keep both

hands on the handlebar andboth feet on the operator foot-rests during operation to main-tain control of the motorcycle.

• The passenger should alwayshold onto the operator, the seatstrap or grab bar, if equipped,with both hands and keep bothfeet on the passenger footrests.Never carry a passenger unlesshe or she can firmly place bothfeet on the passenger footrests.

● Never ride under the influence ofalcohol or other drugs.

Protective apparelThe majority of fatalities from motorcy-cle accidents are the result of head in-juries. The use of a safety helmet is thesingle most critical factor in the preven-tion or reduction of head injuries.

● Always wear an approved helmet.● Wear a face shield or goggles.

Wind in your unprotected eyescould contribute to an impairmentof vision that could delay seeing ahazard.

● The use of a jacket, heavy boots,trousers, gloves, etc., is effectivein preventing or reducing abra-sions or lacerations.

● Never wear loose-fitting clothes,otherwise they could catch on thecontrol levers, footrests, or wheelsand cause injury or an accident.

● Always wear protective clothingthat covers your legs, ankles, andfeet. The engine or exhaust sys-

tem become very hot during or af-ter operation and can causeburns.

● A passenger should also observethe above precautions.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide PoisoningAll engine exhaust contains carbonmonoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car-bon monoxide can cause headaches,dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu-sion, and eventually death.Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-less, tasteless gas which may bepresent even if you do not see or smellany engine exhaust. Deadly levels ofcarbon monoxide can collect rapidlyand you can quickly be overcome andunable to save yourself. Also, deadlylevels of carbon monoxide can lingerfor hours or days in enclosed or poorlyventilated areas. If you experience anysymptoms of carbon monoxide poison-ing, leave the area immediately, getfresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-MENT.


SAFETY INFORMATION

● Do not run engine indoors. Even ifyou try to ventilate engine exhaustwith fans or open windows anddoors, carbon monoxide can rap-idly reach dangerous levels.

● Do not run engine in poorly venti-lated or partially enclosed areassuch as barns, garages, or car-ports.

● Do not run engine outdoors whereengine exhaust can be drawn intoa building through openings suchas windows and doors.

LoadingAdding accessories or cargo to yourmotorcycle can adversely affect stabili-ty and handling if the weight distributionof the motorcycle is changed. To avoidthe possibility of an accident, use ex-treme caution when adding cargo oraccessories to your motorcycle. Useextra care when riding a motorcyclethat has added cargo or accessories.Here, along with the information aboutaccessories below, are some general

guidelines to follow if loading cargo toyour motorcycle:The total weight of the operator,passenger, accessories and cargomust not exceed the maximum loadlimit. Operation of an overloaded ve-hicle could cause an accident.

When loading within this weight limit,keep the following in mind:

● Cargo and accessory weightshould be kept as low and close tothe motorcycle as possible. Se-curely pack your heaviest items asclose to the center of the vehicleas possible and make sure to dis-tribute the weight as evenly aspossible on both sides of the mo-torcycle to minimize imbalance orinstability.

● Shifting weights can create a sud-den imbalance. Make sure that ac-cessories and cargo are securely

attached to the motorcycle beforeriding. Check accessory mountsand cargo restraints frequently.• Properly adjust the suspension

for your load, and check thecondition and pressure of yourtires.

• Never attach any large or heavyitems to the handlebar, frontfork, or front fender. Theseitems, including such cargo assleeping bags, duffel bags, ortents, can create unstable han-dling or a slow steering re-sponse.

● This vehicle is not designed topull a trailer or to be attached toa sidecar.

Genuine Yamaha AccessoriesChoosing accessories for your vehicleis an important decision. GenuineYamaha accessories, which are avail-able only from a Yamaha dealer, havebeen designed, tested, and approvedby Yamaha for use on your vehicle.

Many companies with no connection toYamaha manufacture parts and acces-sories or offer other modifications forYamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in aposition to test the products that theseaftermarket companies produce.Therefore, Yamaha can neither en-dorse nor recommend the use of ac-cessories not sold by Yamaha ormodifications not specifically recom-mended by Yamaha, even if sold andinstalled by a Yamaha dealer.

Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, andModificationsWhile you may find aftermarket prod-ucts similar in design and quality togenuine Yamaha accessories, recog-nize that some aftermarket accessoriesor modifications are not suitable be-cause of potential safety hazards toyou or others. Installing aftermarketproducts or having other modificationsperformed to your vehicle that changeany of the vehicle’s design or operationcharacteristics can put you and othersat greater risk of serious injury or death.

You are responsible for injuries relatedto 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 carrycargo that would impair the perfor-mance of your motorcycle. Care-fully inspect the accessory beforeusing it to make sure that it doesnot in any way reduce groundclearance or cornering clearance,limit suspension travel, steeringtravel or control operation, or ob-scure lights or reflectors.• Accessories fitted to the handle-

bar or the front fork area cancreate instability due to improp-er weight distribution or aerody-namic changes. If accessoriesare added to the handlebar orfront fork area, they must be aslightweight as possible andshould be kept to a minimum.

• Bulky or large accessories mayseriously affect the stability ofthe motorcycle due to aerody-

namic effects. Wind may at-tempt to lift the motorcycle, orthe motorcycle may become un-stable in cross winds. These ac-cessories may also causeinstability when passing or be-ing passed by large vehicles.

• Certain accessories can dis-place the operator from his orher normal riding position. Thisimproper position limits the free-dom of movement of the opera-tor and may limit control ability,therefore, such accessories arenot recommended.

● Use caution when adding electri-cal accessories. If electrical acces-sories exceed the capacity of themotorcycle’s electrical system, anelectric failure could result, whichcould cause a dangerous loss oflights or engine power.

Aftermarket Tires and RimsThe tires and rims that came with yourmotorcycle were designed to match theperformance capabilities and to pro-

vide the best combination of handling,braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims,sizes, and combinations may not beappropriate. Refer to page 7-17 for tirespecifications and more information onreplacing your tires.

EAU10372

Further safe-riding points ● Be sure to signal clearly when

making turns.● Braking can be extremely difficult

on a wet road. Avoid hard braking,because the scooter could slide.Apply the brakes slowly whenstopping on a wet surface.

● Slow down as you approach a cor-ner or turn. Once you have com-pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.

● Be careful when passing parkedcars. A driver might not see youand open a door in your path.

● Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,iron plates on road constructionsites, and manhole covers be-come extremely slippery whenwet. Slow down and cross themwith caution. Keep the scooter up-right, otherwise it could slide outfrom under you.

● The brake pads could get wetwhen you wash the scooter. Afterwashing the scooter, check thebrakes before riding.

● Always wear a helmet, gloves,trousers (tapered around the cuffand ankle so they do not flap), anda bright colored jacket.

● Do not carry too much luggage onthe scooter. An overloaded scoot-er is unstable. Use a strong cord tosecure any luggage to the carrier(if equipped). A loose load will af-fect the stability of the scooter andcould divert your attention from theroad. (See page 2-3.)

Tips for reducing fuel consumption Fuel consumption depends largely onyour riding style. Consider the followingtips to reduce fuel consumption:

● Avoid high engine speeds duringacceleration.

● Avoid high engine speeds with noload on the engine.

● Turn the engine off instead of let-ting it idle for an extended length oftime (e.g., in traffic jams, at trafficlights or at railroad crossings).

EAU16830

Engine break-in There is never a more important periodin the life of your engine than the periodbetween 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). Forthis reason, you should read the follow-ing material carefully.Since the engine is brand new, do notput an excessive load on it for the first1000 km (600 mi). The various parts inthe engine wear and polish themselvesto the correct operating clearances.During this period, prolonged full-throt-tle operation or any condition that mightresult in engine overheating must beavoided.

● It is dangerous to ride with aworn-out tire. When a tire treadbegins to show crosswise lines,have a Yamaha dealer replacethe tire immediately.

● The replacement of all wheel-and brake-related parts, includ-ing the tires, should be left to aYamaha dealer, who has thenecessary professional knowl-edge and experience.

● It is not recommended to patcha punctured tube. If unavoid-able, however, patch the tubevery carefully and replace it assoon as possible with a high-quality product.

Wheels To maximize the performance, durabil-ity, and safe operation of your motorcy-cle, note the following points regardingthe specified wheels.

● The wheel rims should be checkedfor cracks, bends or warpage, andthe spokes for looseness (forspoke wheel model) or damagebefore each ride. If any damage isfound, have a Yamaha dealer re-place the wheel. Do not attempteven the smallest repair to thewheel. A deformed or crackedwheel must be replaced.

● The wheel should be balancedwhenever either the tire or wheelhas been changed or replaced. Anunbalanced wheel can result inpoor performance, adverse han-dling characteristics, and a short-ened tire life.

● Ride at moderate speeds afterchanging a tire since the tire sur-face must first be “broken in” for itto develop its optimal characteris-tics.

Checking the front brake lever free play

There should be no free play at thebrake lever end. If there is free play,have a Yamaha dealer inspect thebrake system.

EWA14211

WARNING_

A soft or spongy feeling in the brakelever can indicate the presence ofair in the hydraulic system. If thereis air in the hydraulic system, have aYamaha dealer bleed the system be-fore operating the vehicle. Air in thehydraulic system will diminish the

braking performance, which may re-sult in loss of control and an acci-dent. _

Checking the brake fluid level

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air toenter the brake system, possibly caus-ing it to become ineffective.Before riding, check that the brake fluidis above the minimum level mark andreplenish if necessary. A low brake flu-id level may indicate worn brake padsand/or brake system leakage. If thebrake fluid level is low, be sure to checkthe brake pads for wear and the brakesystem for leakage.Observe these precautions:

● When checking the fluid level,make sure that the top of the mas-ter cylinder is level by turning thehandlebars.

● Use only the recommended quali-ty brake fluid, otherwise the rubberseals may deteriorate, causingleakage and poor braking perfor-mance.

● Refill with the same type of brakefluid. Mixing fluids may result in aharmful chemical reaction andlead to poor braking performance.

● Be careful that water does not en-ter the master cylinder when refill-ing. Water will significantly lowerthe boiling point of the fluid andmay result in vapor lock.

● Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-ways clean up spilled fluidimmediately.

● As the brake pads wear, it is nor-mal for the brake fluid level togradually go down. However, if thebrake fluid level goes down sud-denly, have a Yamaha dealercheck the cause.

EAUU0403

Care While the open design of a motorcyclereveals the attractiveness of the tech-nology, it also makes it more vulnera-ble. Rust and corrosion can developeven if high-quality components areused. A rusty exhaust pipe may go un-noticed on a car, however, it detractsfrom the overall appearance of a mo-torcycle. Frequent and proper caredoes not only comply with the terms ofthe warranty, but it will also keep yourmotorcycle looking good, extend its lifeand optimize its performance.

Before cleaning1. Cover the muffler outlet with a

plastic bag after the engine hascooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and coversas well as all electrical couplersand connectors, including thespark plug cap, are tightly in-stalled.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,like oil burnt onto the crankcase,with a degreasing agent and abrush, but never apply such prod-ucts onto seals, gaskets andwheel axles. Always rinse the dirtand degreaser off with water.

CleaningECA10782

NOTICE_

● Avoid using strong acidic wheelcleaners, especially on spokedwheels. If such products areused on hard-to-remove dirt, donot leave the cleaner on the af-fected area any longer than in-structed. Also, thoroughly rinsethe area off with water, immedi-ately dry it, and then apply acorrosion protection spray.

● Improper cleaning can damageplastic parts (such as cowlings,panels, windshields, headlightlenses, meter lenses, etc.) andthe mufflers. Use only a soft,clean cloth or sponge with wa-

ter to clean plastic. However, ifthe plastic parts cannot be thor-oughly cleaned with water, di-luted mild detergent with watermay be used. Be sure to rinseoff any detergent residue usingplenty of water, as it is harmfulto plastic parts.

● Do not use any harsh chemicalproducts on plastic parts. Besure to avoid using cloths orsponges which have been incontact with strong or abrasivecleaning products, solvent orthinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-movers or inhibitors, brake flu-id, antifreeze or electrolyte.

● Do not use high-pressure wash-ers or steam-jet cleaners sincethey cause water seepage anddeterioration in the following ar-eas: seals (of wheel and swing-arm bearings, fork and brakes),electric components (couplers,connectors, instruments, switch-es and lights), breather hosesand vents.

● For scooters equipped with awindshield: Do not use strongcleaners or hard sponges asthey will cause dulling orscratching. Some cleaningcompounds for plastic mayleave scratches on the wind-shield. Test the product on asmall hidden part of the wind-shield to make sure that it doesnot leave any marks. If the wind-shield is scratched, use a quali-ty plastic polishing compoundafter washing.

_

After normal useRemove dirt with warm water, a milddetergent, and a soft, clean sponge,and then rinse thoroughly with cleanwater. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrushfor hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirtand insects will come off more easily ifthe area is covered with a wet cloth fora few minutes before cleaning.

After riding in the rain or near the seaince sea salt is extremely corrosive car-ry out the following steps after eachride in the rain or near the sea.

1. Clean the motorcycle with coldwater and a mild detergent afterthe engine has cooled down. NO-TICE: Do not use warm watersince it increases the corrosiveaction of the salt. [ECA10791]

2. Apply a corrosion protection sprayon all metal, including chrome-and nickel-plated, surfaces to pre-vent corrosion.

After cleaning1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois

or an absorbing cloth.2. Use a chrome polish to shine

chrome, aluminum and stainless-steel parts, including the exhaustsystem. (Even the thermally in-duced discoloring of stainless-steel exhaust systems can be re-moved through polishing.)

3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-mended to apply a corrosion pro-tection spray on all metal,including chrome- and nickel-plat-ed, surfaces.

4. Use spray oil as a universal clean-er to remove any remaining dirt.

5. Touch up minor paint damagecaused by stones, etc.

6. Wax all painted surfaces.7. Let the motorcycle dry completely

before storing or covering it.EWA10941

WARNING_

Contaminants on the brakes or tirescan cause loss of control.
