MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLETRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFEUSE AND OPERATION ARE DEPEN-DENT UPON THE USE OF PROPERRIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL ASTHE EXPERTISE OF THE OPERA-TOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULDKNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIRE-MENTS BEFORE RIDING THISMOTORCYCLE.HE OR SHE SHOULD:

� OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-TIONS FROM A COMPETENTSOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OFMOTORCYCLE OPERATION.

� OBSERVE THE WARNINGSAND MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-MENTS IN THE OWNER’S MAN-UAL.

� OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAININGIN SAFE AND PROPER RIDINGTECHNIQUES.

� OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATEDBY THE OWNER’S MANUAL

AND/OR WHEN MADE NECES-SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI-TIONS.

Safe riding� Always make pre-operation

checks. Careful checks may helpprevent an accident.

� 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 ap-

proaching and passing throughintersections, since intersec-

tions are the most likely placesfor motorcycle accidents to oc-cur.

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

� Many motorcycle accidents in-volve inexperienced operators. Infact, many operators who havebeen involved in accidents do noteven have a current motorcycle li-cense.• Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend yourmotorcycle to other qualified op-erators.

• 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 motorcycle accidents havebeen caused by error of the motor-cycle operator. A typical errormade by the operator is veering

wide on a turn due to EXCESSIVESPEED or undercornering (insuffi-cient lean angle for the speed).• Always obey the speed limit and

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

• 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, 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.

� This motorcycle is designed for on-road use only, therefore, it is notsuitable for off-road use.

Protective apparelThe majority of fatalities from motor-cycle accidents are the result of headinjuries. The use of a safety helmet isthe single most critical factor in the pre-vention 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 which could delay seeinga hazard.

� The use of a jacket, heavy boots,trousers, gloves, etc., is effective inpreventing or reducing abrasionsor lacerations.

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

� Never touch the engine or exhaustsystem during or after operation.They become very hot and can

cause burns. Always wear protec-tive clothing that covers your legs,ankles, and feet.

� Passengers should also observethe precautions mentioned above.

ModificationsModifications made to this motorcyclenot approved by Yamaha, or the re-moval of original equipment, may ren-der the motorcycle unsafe for use andmay cause severe personal injury.Modifications may also make yourmotorcycle illegal to use.

Loading and accessoriesAdding 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 are some general guidelines tofollow if loading cargo or adding acces-sories to your motorcycle:


SAFETY INFORMATION

1-3

1

LoadingThe total weight of the operator, pas-senger, accessories and cargo mustnot exceed the maximum load limit ofFJR1300 200 kg (441 lb) (CAL)FJR1300 201 kg (443 lb) (U49)FJR1300A 193 kg (425 lb) (CAL)FJR1300A 194 kg (428 lb) (U49).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. Makesure to distribute the weight asevenly as possible on both sides ofthe motorcycle to minimize imbal-ance or instability.

� Shifting weights can create a sud-den imbalance. Make sure that ac-cessories and cargo are securelyattached to the motorcycle beforeriding. Check accessory mountsand cargo restraints frequently.

� Never attach any large or heavyitems to the handlebar, front fork,or front fender. These items, in-cluding such cargo as sleeping

bags, duffel bags, or tents, cancreate unstable handling or slowsteering response.

AccessoriesGenuine Yamaha accessories havebeen specifically designed for use onthis motorcycle. Since Yamaha cannottest all other accessories that may beavailable, you must personally be re-sponsible for the proper selection, in-stallation and use of non-Yamahaaccessories. Use extreme cautionwhen selecting and installing any ac-cessories.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 improperweight 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 beingpassed 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.

Gasoline and exhaust gas� GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-

BLE:• Always turn the engine off when

refueling.• Take care not to spill any gaso-

line on the engine or exhaustsystem when refueling.

• Never refuel while smoking or inthe vicinity of an open flame.

� Never start the engine or let it runfor any length of time in a closedarea. The exhaust fumes are poi-sonous and may cause loss ofconsciousness and death within ashort time. Always operate yourmotorcycle in an area that has ad-equate ventilation.

� Always turn the engine off beforeleaving the motorcycle unattendedand remove the key from the mainswitch. When parking the motor-cycle, note the following:• The engine and exhaust system

may be hot, therefore, park themotorcycle in a place where pe-destrians or children are not like-ly to touch these hot areas.

• Do not park the motorcycle on aslope or soft ground, otherwise itmay fall over.

• Do not park the motorcycle neara flammable source (e.g. a kero-sene heater, or near an openflame), otherwise it could catchfire.

� When transporting the motorcyclein another vehicle, make sure thatit is kept upright and that the fuelcock is turned to “ON” or “RES” (forvacuum type) / “OFF” (for manualtype). If it should lean over, gaso-line may leak out of the carburetoror fuel tank.

� If you should swallow any gaso-line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,or allow gasoline to get into your

eyes, see your doctor immediately.If any gasoline spills on your skinor clothing, immediately wash theaffected area with soap and waterand change your clothes.

EAU13360

CAUTION:ECA11400

Use only unleaded gasoline. The useof leaded gasoline will cause severedamage to internal engine parts,such as the valves and piston rings,as well as to the exhaust system.

Your Yamaha engine has been de-signed to use regular unleaded gaso-line with a pump octane number[(R+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a researchoctane number of 91 or higher. If

knocking (or pinging) occurs, use agasoline of a different brand or premi-um unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuelwill extend spark plug life and reducemaintenance costs.GasoholThere are two types of gasohol: gaso-hol containing ethanol and that contain-ing methanol. Gasohol containingethanol can be used if the ethanol con-tent does not exceed 10%. Gasoholcontaining methanol is not recom-mended by Yamaha because it cancause damage to the fuel system or ve-hicle performance problems.

EAU15591

The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or lossof tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspec-tion, to check the following points before each ride.

NOTE:Pre-operation checks should be made each time the vehicle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very shorttime; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

Checking the spark plugs The spark plugs are important enginecomponents, which should be checkedperiodically, preferably by a Yamahadealer. Since heat and deposits willcause any spark plug to slowly erode,they should be removed and checkedin accordance with the periodic mainte-nance and lubrication chart. In addition,the condition of the spark plugs can re-veal the condition of the engine.The porcelain insulator around the cen-ter electrode of each spark plug shouldbe a medium-to-light tan (the ideal colorwhen the vehicle is ridden normally),and all spark plugs installed in the en-gine should have the same color. If anyspark plug shows a distinctly differentcolor, the engine could be defective. Donot attempt to diagnose such problemsyourself. Instead, have a Yamaha deal-er check the vehicle.If a spark plug shows signs of electrodeerosion and excessive carbon or otherdeposits, it should be replaced.

Before installing a spark plug, the sparkplug gap should be measured with awire thickness gauge and, if necessary,adjusted to specification.

Clean the surface of the spark pluggasket and its mating surface, and thenwipe off any grime from the spark plugthreads.

NOTE:If a torque wrench is not available wheninstalling a spark plug, a good estimateof the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turnpast finger tight. However, the sparkplug should be tightened to the speci-fied torque as soon as possible.

� When checking the fluid level,make sure that the top of the brakeor clutch fluid reservoir is level.

� Use only the recommended qualitybrake fluid, otherwise the rubberseals may deteriorate, causingleakage and poor braking or clutchperformance.

� Refill with the same type of brakefluid. Mixing fluids may result in aharmful chemical reaction andlead to poor braking or clutch per-formance.

� The brake or clutch fluid reservoirdiaphragm will lose its shape fromthe negative pressure if the fluidlevel goes down too far. Be sure toreturn the diaphragm to its originalshape before installing it into thebrake or clutch fluid reservoir.

� Be careful that water does not en-ter the brake or clutch fluid reser-voir when refilling. Water will

significantly lower the boiling pointof the fluid and may result in vaporlock.

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

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

7-1

EAU26060

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 motor-cycle. Frequent and proper care doesnot only comply with the terms of thewarranty, but it will also keep yourmotorcycle looking good, extend its lifeand optimize its performance.

Before cleaning1. Cover the muffler outlets with plas-

tic bags after the engine hascooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and coversas well as all electrical couplersand connectors, including thespark plug caps, 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 and wheelaxles. Always rinse the dirt and de-greaser off with water.

Cleaning

CAUTION:ECA10770

� 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 a cor-rosion protection spray.

� Improper cleaning can damagewindshields, cowlings, panelsand other plastic parts. Use onlya soft, clean cloth or spongewith mild detergent and water toclean plastic.

� 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 or

thinner, 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,switches and lights), breatherhoses and vents.

� For motorcycles equipped witha windshield: Do not use strongcleaners or hard sponges asthey will cause dulling orscratching. Some cleaning com-pounds for plastic may leavescratches on the windshield.Test the product on a small hid-den part of the windshield tomake sure that it does not leaveany marks. If the windshield isscratched, use a quality plasticpolishing compound afterwashing.



7-2

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, near the sea oron salt-sprayed roadsSince sea salt or salt sprayed on roadsduring winter are extremely corrosive incombination with water, carry out thefollowing steps after each ride in therain, near the sea or on salt-sprayedroads.

NOTE:Salt sprayed on roads in the winter mayremain well into spring.

1. Clean the motorcycle with cold wa-ter and a mild detergent, after theengine has cooled down.

CAUTION:ECA10790

Do not use warm water since it in-creases the corrosive action of thesalt.

2. After drying the motorcycle, applya corrosion protection spray on allmetal, including chrome- and nick-el-plated, surfaces to prevent cor-rosion.

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.

WARNINGEWA11130

� Make sure that there is no oil orwax on the brakes or tires.

� If necessary, clean the brakediscs and brake linings with aregular brake disc cleaner or ac-etone, and wash the tires withwarm water and a mild deter-gent. Before riding at higherspeeds, test the motorcycle’sbraking performance and cor-nering behavior.

CAUTION:ECA10800

� Apply spray oil and wax spar-ingly and make sure to wipe offany excess.

� Never apply oil or wax to anyrubber and plastic parts, buttreat them with a suitable careproduct.

� Avoid using abrasive polishingcompounds as they will wearaway the paint.

NOTE:Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice onwhat products to use.

EAU26240

Storage

Short-termAlways store your motorcycle in a cool,dry place and, if necessary, protect itagainst dust with a porous cover.

CAUTION:ECA10810

� Storing the motorcycle in apoorly ventilated room or cover-ing it with a tarp, while it is stillwet, will allow water and humid-ity to seep in and cause rust.

� To prevent corrosion, avoiddamp cellars, stables (becauseof the presence of ammonia)and areas where strong chemi-cals are stored.

Long-termBefore storing your motorcycle for sev-eral months:

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

2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuelstabilizer (if available) to preventthe fuel tank from rusting and thefuel from deteriorating.

3. Perform the following steps to pro-tect 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 then placethe spark plugs on the cylinderhead so that the electrodes aregrounded. (This will limit spark-ing during the next step.)

d. Turn the engine over severaltimes with the starter. (This willcoat the cylinder walls with oil.)

e. Remove the spark plug capsfrom the spark plugs, and theninstall the spark plugs and thespark plug caps.

WARNINGEWA10950

To prevent damage or injury fromsparking, make sure to ground thespark plug electrodes while turningthe engine over.

4. Lubricate all control cables and thepivoting points of all levers andpedals as well as of the side-stand/centerstand.

5. Check and, if necessary, correctthe tire air pressure, and then liftthe motorcycle so that both of itswheels are off the ground. Alterna-tively, turn the wheels a little everymonth in order to prevent the tiresfrom becoming degraded in onespot.

6. Cover the muffler outlets with plas-tic bags to prevent moisture fromentering them.

7. Remove the battery and fullycharge it. Store it in a cool, dryplace and charge it once a month.Do not store the battery in an ex-cessively cold or warm place (lessthan 0 °C [30 °F] or more than 30°C [90 °F]). For more informationon storing the battery, see page6-30.
