Introduction
EAU41075
Congratulations on your purchase of the Yamaha PW50 / PW50N / PW50N2. This
model is the result of Yamaha’s vast experience in the production of fine sporting,
touring, and pacesetting racing machines. It represents the high degree of crafts-
manship and reliability that have made Yamaha a leader in these fields.
This manual will give you an understanding of the operation, inspection, and basic
maintenance of this motorcycle. If you have any questions concerning the opera-
tion or maintenance of your motorcycle, please consult a Yamaha dealer.
The design and manufacture of this Yamaha motorcycle fully comply with the
emissions standards for clean air applicable at the date of manufacture. Yamaha
has met these standards without reducing the performance or economy of oper-
ation of the motorcycle. To maintain these high standards, it is important that you
and your Yamaha dealer pay close attention to the recommended maintenance
schedules and operating instructions contained within this manual.
Yamaha continually seeks advancements in product design and quality. There- fore, while this manual contains the most current product information available at

WARNING
EWA10032
Please rea d this manual carefully an d completely before operating this mo-
torcycle.
WARNING
EWA14352
This motorcycle is desi gne d an d manufactured for off-road use only. It is il-
le gal to operate this motorcycle on any pu blic street, road or highway. Such
use is prohi bite d b y law. This motorcycle complies with almost all state off-
hi ghway noise level an d spark arrester laws an d re gulations. Please check
your local ri din g laws an d re gulations before operatin g this motorcycle.
AN IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE:
Read this manual carefully and completely before operating this motorcycle.
Make sure you understand all instructions.
Pay close attention to the warning and notice labels on the motorcycle.
Never operate a motorcycle without proper training or instruction.
Weight of the rider should not exceed 25 kg (55 lb).
AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS:
This motorcycle is not a toy. Before you let your child ride this motorcycle, you
should understand the instructions and warnings in this Owner’s Manual. Then be
sure your child understands and will follow them. Children differ in skills, physical
abilities, and judgment. Some children may not be able to operate a motorcycle

Introduction
safely. Parents should supervise their child’s use of the motorcycle at all times.
Parents should permit continued use only if they determine that the child has the
ability to operate the motorcycle safely.
Your motorcycle is equipped with an adjustable speed limiter and a power reduc-
tion plate. Yamaha recommends that all beginners start off with the speed limiter
adjusting screw turned in and the power reduction plate installed in the exhaust
manifold to limit the power available while they learn. The limiter screw may be
gradually turned out to increase maximum speed as the beginner becomes more
familiar with operating the motorcycle. Parents should decide when to adjust the
motorcycle for more power as their youngster’s riding skills improve. Once the rid-
er can operate with skill at the top speed permitted by adjusting the speed limiter
alone, the power reduction plate can be removed. Since removal of this plate will
result in a significant increase in power, turn the speed limiter back in again; adjust
it out in stages as you did before.
Motorcycles are sin gle track vehicles. Their safe use an d operation are d e-
pen dent upon the use of proper rid ing techniques as well as the expertise of
the operator. Every operator shoul d know the followin g requirements before
ri din g this motorcycle.
He or she should: Obtain thorough instructions from a competent source on all aspects of mo-
torcycle operation.
Observe the warnings and maintenance requirements in this Owner’s Manu-
al.
Obtain qualified training in safe and proper riding techniques.
Obtain professional technical service as indicated in this Owner’s Manual
and/or when made necessary by mechanical conditions.
