•
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 fu-
mes are poisonous, and
inhaling them can cause loss of
consciousness and death
within a short time. Always
make sure that there is
adequate ventilation.
•
For safety, always start the
engine with the centerstand
down.
