Important Safety Information
Safe Riding Practices: Always perform pre-operation checks to ensure your motorcycle is in safe operating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly can increase the risk of accidents or equipment damage. This motorcycle is designed for the operator and a passenger. Be aware that many accidents occur because other motorists fail to detect motorcycles. Make yourself conspicuous by wearing brightly colored apparel and using extra caution at intersections, which are common accident sites.
Operator Responsibility: As the owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your motorcycle. Ensure you have obtained thorough instructions from a competent source, observe all warnings and maintenance requirements, and possess qualified training in safe riding techniques. Always know your skills and limits, and practice riding in a safe environment until you are completely familiar with the motorcycle and its controls.
Protective Apparel: Always wear an approved helmet, face shield or goggles, a jacket, heavy boots, trousers, and gloves to prevent or reduce injuries. Avoid loose-fitting clothing that could catch on controls or wheels. Ensure protective clothing covers your legs, ankles, and feet, as the engine and exhaust systems can become very hot.
Carbon Monoxide Awareness: Engine exhaust contains deadly carbon monoxide gas. Never run the engine indoors or in poorly ventilated areas, as carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels, causing serious health effects or death. If you experience symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately and seek medical attention.
Loading and Accessories: Adding accessories or cargo can affect the motorcycle's stability and handling. Keep cargo weight as low and close to the motorcycle as possible, distributing it evenly. Securely attach all accessories and cargo, and check them frequently. Never attach large or heavy items to the handlebar or front fork area. Be cautious with electrical accessories to avoid overloading the motorcycle's electrical system.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims: Tires and rims are designed to match the motorcycle's performance capabilities. Use only tires and rims that are approved and specified by Yamaha to ensure optimal handling, braking, and comfort.
