SAFETY INFORMATION EAU03633 1- 1 MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLE TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS BEFORE RIDING THIS MOTORCYCLE. HE OR SHE SHOULD: 1. OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF MOTORCYCLE OPERATION. 2. OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNER’S MANUAL. 3.
SAFETY INFORMATION 4. Many motorcycle accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current motorcycle license. a. Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your motorcycle to other qualified operators. b. Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident. c.
SAFETY INFORMATION Protective apparel 1 The majority of fatalities from motorcycle accidents are the result of head injuries. The use of a safety helmet is the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries. 1. Always wear an approved helmet. 2. Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vision which could delay seeing a hazard. 3. The use of a jacket, heavy boots, trousers, gloves, etc.
SAFETY INFORMATION Loading The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit of XVS650(C): 397 lb (180 kg)/XVS650A(C): 441 lb (200 kg). When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind: 1. Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the motorcycle as possible. Make sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the motorcycle to minimize imbalance or instability. 2.
SAFETY INFORMATION 1 a. Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper 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. b. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the motorcycle due to aerodynamic effects. Wind may attempt to lift the motorcycle, or the motorcycle may become unstable in cross winds.
SAFETY INFORMATION a. The engine and exhaust system may be hot, therefore, park the motorcycle in a place where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas. b. Do not park the motorcycle on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over. c. Do not park the motorcycle near a flammable source (e.g. a kerosene heater, or near an open flame), otherwise it could catch fire. 4.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS Pre-operation check list .....................................................................
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS EAU01114 4- 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 loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspection, to check the following points before each ride.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS ITEM Control cables CHECKS • Make sure that operation is smooth. • Lubricate if necessary. Check for damage. Check tire condition and tread depth. Check air pressure. Correct if necessary. PAGE 6-27 Wheels and tires • • • • Brake and shift pedals • Make sure that operation is smooth. • Lubricate pedal pivoting points if necessary. 6-28 Brake and clutch levers • Make sure that operation is smooth. • Lubricate lever pivoting points if necessary.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS EAU00372 5- EAU00373 @ WARNING Become thoroughly familiar with all operating controls and their functions before riding. Consult a Yamaha dealer regarding any control or function that you do not thoroughly understand. ● Never start the engine or operate it in a closed area for any length of time. Exhaust fumes are poisonous, and inhaling them can cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always make sure that there is adequate ventilation.
OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS ECA00101 CAUTION: The engine trouble warning light should come on when the key is turned to “ON”, and then go off after a few seconds. If the engine trouble warning light comes on or flashes after starting, immediately stop the engine, and have a Yamaha dealer check the self-diagnosis system. _ 1. Turn the fuel cock lever to “ON”. 2. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the engine stop switch is set to “ ”. 3. Shift the transmission into the neutral position. 4.
OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS NOTE: The engine is warm when it responds normally to the throttle with the starter (choke) turned off.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE Care .................................................................................................. 7-1 Storage ..............................................................................................
MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE EAU03412 7- Care While the open design of a motorcycle reveals the attractiveness of the technology, it also makes it more vulnerable. Rust and corrosion can develop even if high-quality components are used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go unnoticed on a car, however, it detracts from the overall appearance of a motorcycle.
MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE ● Do not use any harsh chemical products on plastic parts. Be sure to avoid using cloths or sponges which have been in contact with strong or abrasive cleaning products, solvent or thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust removers or inhibitors, brake fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte.
MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE 7 After cleaning 1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois or an absorbing cloth. 2. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome, aluminum and stainlesssteel parts, including the exhaust system. (Even the thermally induced discoloring of stainlesssteel exhaust systems can be removed through polishing.) 3. To prevent corrosion, it is recommended to apply a corrosion protection spray on all metal, including chrome- and nickel-plated, surfaces. 4.
MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE Storage Short-term Always store your motorcycle in a cool, dry place and, if necessary, protect it against dust with a porous cover. ECA00014 @ @ CAUTION: ● Storing the motorcycle in a poorly ventilated room or covering it with a tarp, while it is still wet, will allow water and humidity to seep in and cause rust. ● To prevent corrosion, avoid damp cellars, stables (because of the presence of ammonia) and areas where strong chemicals are stored.
MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE 7 6. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting points of all levers and pedals as well as of the sidestand/ centerstand. 7. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air pressure, and then lift the motorcycle so that both of its wheels are off the ground. Alternatively, turn the wheels a little every month in order to prevent the tires from becoming degraded in one spot. 8. Cover the muffler outlets with plastic bags to prevent moisture from entering them. 9.
