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

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:
