SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10251

MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLE

TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE

AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT

UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING

TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EX-

PERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EV-

ERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW

THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE RIDING THIS MOTOR-

CYCLE.

HE OR SHE SHOULD:

●OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-

TIONS FROM A COMPETENT

SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF

MOTORCYCLE OPERATION.

●OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND

MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-

MENTS IN THE OWNER’S MAN-

UAL.

●OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING

IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING

TECHNIQUES.

●OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-

NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED

BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL

AND/OR WHEN MADE NECES-

SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI-

TIONS.

Safe riding

●Always make pre-operation

checks. Careful checks may help

prevent an accident.

●This motorcycle is designed to car-

ry the operator and a passenger.

●The failure of motorists to detect

and recognize motorcycles in traf-

fic is the predominating cause of

automobile/motorcycle accidents.

Many accidents have been caused

by an automobile driver who did

not see the motorcycle. Making

yourself conspicuous appears to

be very effective in reducing the

chance of this type of accident.

Therefore:

•Wear a brightly colored jacket.

•Use extra caution when ap-

proaching and passing through

intersections, since intersec-

tions are the most likely places

for motorcycle accidents to oc-

cur.

•Ride where other motorists can

see you. Avoid riding in another

motorist’s blind spot.

●Many motorcycle accidents in-

volve inexperienced operators. In

fact, many operators who have

been involved in accidents do not

even have a current motorcycle li-

cense.

•Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend your

motorcycle to other qualified op-

erators.

•Know your skills and limits.

Staying within your limits may

help you to avoid an accident.

•We recommend that you prac-

tice riding your motorcycle

where there is no traffic until you

have become thoroughly famil-

iar with the motorcycle and all of

its controls.

●Many motorcycle accidents have

been caused by error of the motor-

cycle operator. A typical error

made by the operator is veering

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-2

wide on a turn due to EXCESSIVE

SPEED or undercornering (insuffi-

cient lean angle for the speed).

•Always obey the speed limit and

never travel faster than warrant-

ed 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 foot-

rests during operation to main-

tain control of the motorcycle.

•The passenger should always

hold onto the operator, seat

strap, or grab bar, if equipped,

with both hands and keep both

feet on the passenger footrests.

•Never carry a passenger unless

he or she can firmly place both

feet on the passenger footrests.

●Never ride under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs.

●This motorcycle is designed for on-

road use only, therefore, it is not

suitable for off-road use.

Protective apparel

The majority of fatalities from motor-

cycle accidents are the result of head

injuries. The use of a safety helmet is

the single most critical factor in the pre-

vention or reduction of head injuries.

●Always wear an approved helmet.

●Wear a face shield or goggles.

Wind in your unprotected eyes

could contribute to an impairment

of vision which could delay seeing

a hazard.

●The use of a jacket, heavy boots,

trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in

preventing or reducing abrasions

or lacerations.

●Never wear loose-fitting clothes,

otherwise they could catch on the

control levers, footrests, or wheels

and cause injury or an accident.

●Never touch the engine or exhaust

system during or after operation.

They become very hot and can

cause burns. Always wear protec-

tive clothing that covers your legs,

ankles, and feet.

●Passengers should also observe

the precautions mentioned above.

Modifications

Modifications made to this motorcycle

not approved by Yamaha, or the re-

moval of original equipment, may ren-

der the motorcycle unsafe for use and

may cause severe personal injury.

Modifications may also make your

motorcycle illegal to use.

Loading and accessories

Adding accessories or cargo to your

motorcycle can adversely affect stabili-

ty and handling if the weight distribution

of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid

the possibility of an accident, use ex-

treme caution when adding cargo or

accessories to your motorcycle. Use

extra care when riding a motorcycle

that has added cargo or accessories.

Here are some general guidelines to

follow if loading cargo or adding acces-

sories to your motorcycle:

U2UJ25E0.book Page 2 Thursday, May 17, 2007 4:40 PM

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-3

The total weight of the operator, pas-

senger, accessories and cargo must

not exceed the maximum load limit.

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. Make

sure to distribute the weight as

evenly as possible on both sides of

the motorcycle to minimize imbal-

ance or instability.

●Shifting weights can create a sud-

den imbalance. Make sure that ac-

cessories and cargo are securely

attached to the motorcycle before

riding. Check accessory mounts

and cargo restraints frequently.

●Never attach any large or heavy

items to the handlebar, front fork,

or front fender. These items, in-

cluding such cargo as sleeping

bags, duffel bags, or tents, can

create unstable handling or slow

steering response.

Accessories

Genuine Yamaha accessories have

been specifically designed for use on

this motorcycle. Since Yamaha cannot

test all other accessories that may be

available, you must personally be re-

sponsible for the proper selection, in-

stallation and use of non-Yamaha

accessories. Use extreme caution

when selecting and installing any ac-

cessories.

Keep the following guidelines in mind,

as well as those provided under “Load-

ing”when mounting accessories.

●Never install accessories or carry

cargo that would impair the perfor-

mance of your motorcycle. Care-

fully inspect the accessory before

using it to make sure that it does

not in any way reduce ground

clearance or cornering clearance,

limit suspension travel, steering

travel or control operation, or ob-

scure lights or reflectors.

•Accessories fitted to the handle-

bar or the front fork area can

create instability due to improper

weight distribution or aerody-

namic 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.

•Bulky or large accessories may

seriously affect the stability of

the motorcycle due to aerody-

namic effects. Wind may at-

tempt to lift the motorcycle, or

the motorcycle may become un-

stable in cross winds. These ac-

cessories may also cause

instability when passing or being

passed by large vehicles.

•Certain accessories can dis-

place the operator from his or

her normal riding position. This

improper position limits the free-

dom of movement of the opera-
