WARNING
EWA11200
Because loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking,
performance and safety characteris-
tics of your vehicle, you should keep
the following precautions in mind.
●
NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHI-
CLE! Operation of an overload-
ed vehicle may result in tire
damage, loss of control, or se-
vere injury. Make sure that the
total weight of rider, passenger,
cargo, and accessories does
not exceed the specified maxi-
mum load for the vehicle.
● Do not carry along loosely
packed items, which can shift
during a ride.
● Securely pack the heaviest
items close to the center of the
vehicle and distribute the
weight evenly on both sides.
● Adjust the tire air pressure with
regard to the load.
● Check the tire condition and air
pressure before each ride.
Tire inspection
The tires must be checked before each
ride. If the center tread depth reaches
the specified limit, if the tire has a nail or
glass fragments in it, or if the sidewall is
cracked, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the tire immediately.
NOTE:
The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always comply
with the local regulations.
