• Always obey the speed limit
and never travel faster than
warranted by road and traffic
conditions.
• Always signal before turning or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
The posture of the operator and
passenger is important for proper
control.
• The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the operator foo-
trests during operation to
maintain control of the scooter.
• The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger foo-
trests. Never carry a passenger
unless he or she can firmly pla-
ce both feet on the passenger
footrests.
Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
This scooter is designed for on-
road use only. It is not suitable for
off-road use.Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from scooter
accidents are the result of head inju-
ries. The use of a safety helmet is the
single most critical factor in the pre-
vention or reduction of head injuries.
Always wear an approved hel-
met.
Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impair-
ment of vision that could delay
seeing a hazard.
The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is
effective in preventing or redu-
cing abrasions or lacerations.
Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on
the control levers or wheels and
cause injury or an accident.
Always wear protective clothing
that covers your legs, ankles, and
feet. The engine or exhaust sys-
tem become very hot during or
after operation and can cause
burns.
A passenger should also observe
the above precautions.Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide can cause heada-
ches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,
confusion, and eventually death.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless,
odorless, tasteless gas which may be
present even if you do not see or
smell any engine exhaust. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can collect
rapidly and you can quickly be over-
come and unable to save yourself.
Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxi-
de can linger for hours or days in
enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If
you experience any symptoms of car-
bon monoxide poisoning, leave the
area immediately, get fresh air, and
SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.
Do not run engine indoors. Even
if you try to ventilate engine
exhaust with fans or open win-
dows and doors, carbon monoxi-
de can rapidly reach dangerous
levels.

Do not run engine in poorly venti-
lated or partially enclosed areas
such as barns, garages, or car-
ports.
• Do not run engine outdoors
where engine exhaust can be
drawn into a building through
openings such as windows
and doors.
Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution
of the scooter is changed. To avoid
the possibility of an accident, use
extreme caution when adding cargo
or accessories to your scooter. Use
extra care when riding a scooter that
has added cargo or accessories.
Here, along with the information
about accessories below, are some
general guidelines to follow if loading
cargo to your scooter:
The total weight of the operator, pas-
senger, accessories and cargo must
not exceed the maximum load limit.
Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close
to the scooter as possible. Secu-
rely pack your heaviest items as
close to the center of the vehicle
as possible and make sure to dis-
tribute the weight as evenly as
possible on both sides of the
scooter to minimize imbalance or
instability.
Shifting weights can create a
sudden imbalance. Make sure
that accessories and cargo are
securely attached to the scooter
before riding. Check accessory
mounts and cargo restraints fre-
quently.
• Properly adjust the suspension
for your load (suspension-
adjustable models only), and
check the condition and pres-
sure of your tires.• Never attach any large or
heavy items to the handlebar,
front fork, or front fender. Such
items can create unstable
handling or a slow steering res-
ponse.
This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached
to a sidecar.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your vehicle
is an important decision. Genuine
Yamaha accessories, which are avai-
lable only from a Yamaha dealer, have
been designed, tested, and approved
by Yamaha for use on your vehicle.
Many companies with no connection
to Yamaha manufacture parts and
accessories or offer other modifica-
tions for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is
not in a position to test the products
that these aftermarket companies
produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neit-
her endorse nor recommend the use
of accessories not sold by Yamaha or
modifications not specifically recom-
mended by Yamaha, even if sold and
installed by a Yamaha dealer.

Aftermarket Parts, Accessories,
and Modifications
While you may find aftermarket pro-
ducts similar in design and quality to
genuine Yamaha accessories, recog-
nize that some aftermarket accesso-
ries or modifications are not suitable
because of potential safety hazards to
you or others. Installing aftermarket
products or having other modifica-
tions performed to your vehicle that
change any of the vehicle’s design or
operation characteristics can put you
and others at greater risk of serious
injury or death. You are responsible
for injuries related to changes in the
vehicle.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under “Loa-
ding” when mounting accessories.
Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the per-
formance of your scooter. Care-
fully inspect the accessory befo-
re using it to make sure that it
does not in any way reduce
ground clearance or cornering
clearance, limit suspension tra-
vel, steering travel or control ope-ration, or obscure lights or reflec-
tors.
• Accessories fitted to the hand-
lebar or the front fork area can
create instability due to impro-
per 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.
• Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability of
the scooter due to aerodyna-
mic effects. Wind may attempt
to lift the scooter, or the scoo-
ter may become unstable in
cross winds. These accesso-
ries may also cause instability
when passing or being passed
by large vehicles.
• Certain accessories can displa-
ce the operator from his or her
normal riding position. This
improper position limits the fre-
edom of movement of the ope-
rator and may limit control abi-
lity, therefore, such accessoriesare not recommended.
Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical
accessories exceed the capacity
of the scooter’s electrical system,
an electric failure could result,
which could cause a dangerous
loss of lights or engine power.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
scooter were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to pro-
vide the best combination of hand-
ling, braking, and comfort. Other tires,
rims, sizes, and combinations may
not be appropriate. Refer to page
6-18 for tire specifications and more
information on replacing your tires.
