 Always signal before turning or
c\fanging lanes . Make sure t\fat
ot\fer \botorists can see you.
●T\fe posture of t\fe operator and
passenger is i\bportant for proper
control.
 T\fe operator s\fould keep bot\f \fands on t\fe \fandlebar and
bot\f feet on t\fe operator
footrests during operation to
\baintain control of t\fe \botorcy-
cle.
 T\fe passenger s\fould always \fold onto t\fe operator, t\fe seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
wit\f bot\f \fands and keep bot\f

Protective \fpp\frel
T\fe \bajority of fatalities fro\b \botorcy-
cle accidents are t\fe result of \fead in-
juries. T\fe use of a safety \fel\bet is t\fe
single \bost critical factor in t\fe pre-
vention or reduction\c of \fead injuries.
●Always wear an approved \fel\bet.
●Wear a face s\field or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an i\bpair\bent
of vision t\fat could delay seeing a
\fazard.
●T\fe use of a jacket, \feavy boots,
trousers, gloves, etc., is effective
in preventing or reducing abra-
sions or lacerations.
●Never wear loose-fitting clot\fes,
ot\ferwise t\fey could catc\f on t\fe
control levers, footrests, or
w\feels and cause injury or an ac-
cident.
●Always wear protective clot\fing
t\fat covers your legs, ankles, and
feet. T\fe engine or ex\faust sys-
te\b beco\be very \fot during or af-
ter operation and can cause
burns.
●A passenger s\fould also observe
t\fe above precautions. Avoi\b C\frbon Monoxi\be Poisoning
All engine ex\faust contains carbon
\bonoxide, a deadly gas. Breat\fing car-
bon \bonoxide can cause \feadac\fes,
dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu-
sion, and eventually deat\f.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-
less, tasteless gas w\fic\f \bay be pre-
sent even if you do not see or s\bell any
engine ex\faust. Deadly levels of carbon
\bonoxide can collect rapidly and you
can quickly be overco\be and unable to
save yourself. Also, deadly levels of car-
bon \bonoxide can linger for \fours or
days in enclosed or poorly ventilated ar-
eas. If you experience any sy\bpto\bs of
carbon \bonoxide poisoning, leave t\fe
area i\b\bediately, get fres\f air, and
SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.
●Do not run engine indoors. Even if
you try to ventilate engine ex-
\faust wit\f fans or open windows
and doors, carbon \bonoxide can
rapidly reac\f danger\cous levels.
●Do not run engine in poorly ventilat-
ed or partially enclosed areas suc\f
as barns, garages, or carports.
●Do not run engine outdoors w\fere
engine ex\faust can be drawn into
a building t\froug\f openings suc\f
as windows and doors.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to your
motorcycle can adversely affect sta\fil-
ity and handling if the weight distri\fu-
tion of the motorcycle is changed\b To
avoid the possi\fility of an accident,
use extreme caution when adding car-
go or accessories to your motorcycle\b
Use extra care when riding a motorcy-
cle that has added cargo or acces-
sories\b Here, along with the informa-
tion a\fout accessories \felow, are
some general guidelines to follow if
loading cargo to y\four motorcycle:
T\fe total \beig\ft of t\fe operator,
passenger, accessories and cargo
must not exceed t\fe maximum load
limit. Operation of an overloaded
ve\ficle could cause a\gn accident.

curely pack your heaviest items
as close to the center of the vehi-
cle as possi\fle and make sure to
distri\fute the weight as evenly as
possi\fle on \foth sides of the mo-
torcycle to minimize im\falance or
insta\fility\b
●Shifting weights can create a sud-
den im\falance\b Make sure that
accessories and cargo are se-
curely attached to the motorcycle
\fefore riding\b Check accessory
mounts and cargo restraints fre-
quently\b
 Properly adjust the suspension for your load, and check the
condition and pressure of your
tires\b
 Never attach any large or heavy items to the handle\far, front
fork, or front fender\b These
items, including such cargo as
sleeping \fags, duffel \fags, or
tents, can create unsta\fle han-
dling or a slow steering re-
sponse\b
●T\fis ve\ficle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attac\fed
to a sidecar. Genuine Yama\fa Accessories
Choosing accessories for your vehicle
is an important decision\b Genuine
Yamaha accessories, which are avail-
a\fle only from a Yamaha dealer, have
\feen designed, tested, and approved
\fy Yamaha for use on your vehicle\b
Many companies with no connection
to Yamaha manufacture parts and ac-
cessories or offer other modifications
for Yamaha vehicles\b Yamaha is not in
a position to test the products that
these aftermarket companies pro-
duce\b Therefore, Yamaha can neither
endorse nor recommend the use of
accessories not sold \fy Yamaha or
modifications not specifically recom-
mended \fy Yamaha, even if sold and
installed \fy a Yamaha dealer\b
Aftermarket Parts, Accessories,
and Modifications
While you may find aftermarket prod-
ucts similar in design and quality to
genuine Yamaha accessories, recog-
nize that some aftermarket acces-
sories or modifications are not suita\fle
\fecause of potentia\fl safety hazards to
you or others\b Installing aftermarket
Maximum load:
190 kg (419 l\f)
When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
●Cargo and accessor y weight

SAFETY INF\fRMATI\fN
products or having other modifications
performed to your vehic\fe that change
any of the vehic\fe's design or opera-
tion characteristics can put you and
others at greater risk of serious in\bury
or death. You are responsib\fe for in-
\buries re\fated to changes in the vehi-
c\fe.
Keep the fo\f\fowing guide\fines in mind,
as we\f\f as those provided under
"Loading" when mounting acces-
sories.
●Never insta\f\f accessories or carry
cargo that wou\fd impair the perfor-
mance of your motorcyc\fe. Care-
fu\f\fy inspect the accessory before
using it to make sure that it does
not in any way reduce ground
c\fearance or cornering c\fearance,
\fimit suspension trave\f, steering
trave\f or contro\f operation, or ob-
scure \fights or ref\fectors.
 Accessories fitted to the han-d\febar or the front fork area can
create instabi\fity due to improp-
er weight distribution or aerody-
namic changes. If accessories
are added to the hand\febar or
front fork area, they must be as \fightweight as possib\fe and
shou\fd be kept to a minimum.
 Bu\fky or \farge accessories may serious\fy affect the stabi\fity of
the motorcyc\fe due to aerody-
namic effects. Wind may at-
tempt to \fift the motorcyc\fe, or
the motorcyc\fe may become
unstab\fe in cross winds. These
accessories may a\fso cause in-
stabi\fity when passing or being
passed by \farge vehic\fes.
 Certain accessories can dis- p\face the operator from his or
her norma\f riding position. This
improper position \fimits the
freedom of movement of the
operator and may \fimit contro\f
abi\fity, therefore, such acces-
sories are not recomm\yended.
●Use caution when adding e\fectri-
ca\f accessories. If e\fectrica\f ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the motorcyc\fe's e\fectrica\f sys-
tem, an e\fectric fai\fure cou\fd re-
su\ft, which cou\fd cause a danger-
ous \foss of \fights or engine power. Af\bermarke\b Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcyc\fe were designed to match
the performance capabi\fities and to
provide the best combination of han-
d\fing, braking, and comfort. Other
tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. Refer to page
7-16 for tire specifications and more
information on rep\facing\y your tires.

ECA11821NOTICE
●DO NOT \bOSE THE CODE RE-
REGISTERING KEY! CONT\fCT
YOUR DE\f\bER IMMEDI\fTE\bY
IF IT IS \bOST! If the code re-reg-
istering key is lost, registering
new codes in the standard keys
is impossible. The standard keys
can still be used to start the ve-
hicle, however if code re-regis-
tering is required (i.e., if a new
standard key is made or all keys
are lost) the entire immobilizer
system must be replaced.
Therefore, it is highly recom-
mended to use either standard key and keep the code re-regis-
tering key in a safe place.
●Do not submerse any key in water.
●Do not expose any key to exces-
sively high temperatures.
●Do not place any key close to
magnets (this includes, but not
limited to, products such as
speakers, etc.).
●Do not place items that transmit
electrical signals close to any key.
●Do not place heavy items on
any key.
●Do not grind any key or alter its
shape.
●Do not disassemble the plastic
part of any key.
●Do not put two keys of any immobi-
lizer system on the same key ring.
●Keep the standard keys as well
as keys of other immobilizer
systems away from this vehi-
cle's code re-registering key.
●Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main switch
as they may cause signal inter-
ference.
