SAFETY INFORMATION EAU10281 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 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: ● OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF MOTORCYCLE OPERATION. ● OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL.
SAFETY INFORMATION ● ● • 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 footrests during operation to maintain control of the motorcycle.
SAFETY INFORMATION Here are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo or adding accessories to your motorcycle: 1 2 Loading The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Maximum load: 186 kg (410 lb) When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind: ● Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the motorcycle as possible.
SAFETY INFORMATION ● • Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the freedom of movement of the operator and may limit control ability, therefore, such accessories are not recommended. Use caution when adding electrical accessories. If electrical accessories exceed the capacity of the motorcycle's electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.

EWA10220 WARNING 0 EAU15301 Sidestand This shock absorber contains highly pressurized nitrogen gas. For proper handling, read and understand the following information before handling the shock absorber.
INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS EWA10240 WARNING 0 The vehicle must not be ridden with the sidestand down, or if the sidestand cannot be properly moved up (or does not stay up), otherwise the sidestand could contact the ground and distract the operator, resulting in a possible loss of control. Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off system has been designed to assist the operator in fulfilling the responsibility of raising the sidestand before starting off.
INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS 1 2 3 4 5 6 NOTE: This check is most reliable if performed with a warmed-up engine. With the engine turned off: 1. Move the sidestand down. 2. Make sure that the engine stop switch is turned on. 3. Turn the key on. 4. Shift the transmission into the neutral position. 5. Push the start switch. Does the engine start? YES NO The neutral switch may be defective. The motorcycle should not be ridden until checked by a Yamaha dealer. NO The sidestand switch may be defective.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS EAU15591 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 EAU15603 Pre-operation check list ITEM 1 2 3 PAGE Fuel • Check fuel level in fuel tank. • Refuel if necessary. • Check fuel line for leakage. 3-12 Engine oil • Check oil level in oil tank. • If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level. • Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-8 Coolant • Check coolant level in reservoir. • If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level. • Check cooling system for leakage. 6-12 Front brake • • • • • • • Check operation.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS EAU15950 WARNING 0 G G G EWA10270 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 1 2 NOTE: When the transmission is in the neutral position, the neutral indicator light should be on, otherwise have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit. 3. Start the engine by pushing the start switch. 3 4 5 6 NOTE: If the engine fails to start, release the start switch, wait a few seconds, and then try again. Each starting attempt should be as short as possible to preserve the battery. Do not crank the engine more than 10 seconds on any one attempt.
OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS ECA10260 CAUTION: ● ● Even with the transmission in the neutral position, do not coast for long periods of time with the engine off, and do not tow the motorcycle for long distances. The transmission is properly lubricated only when the engine is running. Inadequate lubrication may damage the transmission.
OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS EAU17100 1 2 0-1000 km (0-600 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 4500 r/min. 1000-1600 km (600-1000 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 6000 r/min. 3 ECA11150 CAUTION: 4 5 6 ECA10310 CAUTION: ● ● EAU17212 Parking Keep the engine speed out of the tachometer red zone.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE EAU26000 Care 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 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 ● For motorcycles equipped with a windshield: Do not use strong cleaners or hard sponges as they will cause dulling or scratching. Some cleaning compounds for plastic may leave scratches on the windshield. Test the product on a small hidden part of the windshield to make sure that it does not leave any marks. If the windshield is scratched, use a quality plastic polishing compound after washing.
