SAFETY INFORMATION
EAU10281
MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLE
TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE
USE AND OPERATION ARE DEPEN-
DENT UPON THE USE OF PROPER
RIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS
THE EXPERTISE OF THE OPERA-
TOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD
KNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIRE-
MENTS BEFORE RIDING THIS MO-
TORCYCLE.
HE OR SHE SHOULD:
OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-
TIONS FROM A COMPETENT
SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF
MOTORCYCLE OPERATION.
OBSERVE THE WARNINGS
AND MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-
MENTS IN THE OWNER'S MAN-
UAL.
OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING
IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING
TECHNIQUES.
OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-
NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED
BY THE OWNER'S MANUAL
AND/OR WHEN MADE NECES-
SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI-
TIONS.Safe riding
Always make pre-operation
checks. Careful checks may help
prevent an accident.
This motorcycle is designed to
carry the operator and a passen-
ger.
The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize motorcycles in traf-
fic 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 re-
ducing 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 in-
tersections 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.
Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators. In fact, many
operators who have been in-
volved in accidents do not even
have a current motorcycle li-
cense.
• Make sure that you are quali-
fied 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 prac-
tice 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).

Sidestand
1. Sidestand
The sidestand is located on the left
side of the frame. Raise the sidestand
or lower it with your foot while holding
the motorcycle upright.
NOTE:
The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system,
which cuts the ignition in certain situa-
tions. (See further down for an expla-
nation of the ignition circuit cut-off sys-
tem.)

WARNING0
This shock absorber contains high-
ly pressurized nitrogen gas. For
proper handling, read and under-
stand the following information be-
fore 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 oth-
er high heat sources, otherwise
it may explode due to exces-
sive gas pressure.
Do not deform or damage the
gas cylinder in any way, as this
will result in poor damping per-
formance.
Always have a Yamaha dealer
service the shock absorber.
Tightening torque:
Locknut:
45 Nm (4.5 m·kgf, 32.5 ft·lbf)

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
EAU17240
Safety is an obligation of the owner.
Periodic inspection, adjustment and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in the
safest and most efficient condition
possible. The most important points of
inspection, adjustment, and lubrica-
tion are explained on the following
pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart
should be simply considered as a gen-
eral guide under normal riding condi-
tions. However, DEPENDING ON
THE WEATHER, TERRAIN, GEO-
GRAPHICAL LOCATION, AND INDI-
VIDUAL USE, THE MAINTENANCE
INTERVALS MAY NEED TO BE
SHORTENED.
EWA10320
WARNING0
If you are not familiar with motorcy-
cle maintenance work, have a
Yamaha dealer do it for you.

Owner’s tool kit
1. Owner’s tool kit
2. Fastening strap
The owner’s tool kit is located on the
bottom of the passenger seat (See

O-ring.
The service information included in
this manual and the tools provided in
the owner’s tool kit are intended to as-
sist you in the performance of preven-
tive maintenance and minor repairs.
However, additional tools such as a
torque wrench may be necessary to

correctly.
NOTE:
If you do not have the tools or experi-
ence required for a particular job, have
a Yamaha dealer perform it for you.
EWA10350
WARNING0
Modifications not approved by
Yamaha may cause loss of perfor-
mance and render the vehicle un-
safe for use. Consult a Yamaha
dealer before attempting any
changes.

Cleaning and lubricating
the drive chain
The drive chain must be cleaned and
lubricated at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart, otherwise it will quickly
wear out, especially when riding in
dusty or wet areas. Service the drive
chain as follows.

The drive chain must be lubricated
after washing the motorcycle and
riding in the rain.
1. Clean the drive chain with
kerosene and a small soft brush.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha motorcycles receive
a thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems,
for example, can cause poor starting
and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your motorcycle
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the motorcycle
properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
