ASAFETV INFORMATION

TWO-WHEELED 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. HE OR SHE SHOULD:

1. OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF MOTORCYCLE OPERATION.

2. OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL.

3. OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES.

4. OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED BY THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND/OR WHEN MADE NECESSARY BY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS.

SAFE RIDING

1. Always make pre-operation checks. Careful checks may help prevent an accident.

2. This motorcycle is designed to carry the operator and a passenger.

1-1

3. The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic 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:

a. Wear a brightly colored jacket.

b. Use extra caution when you approach and pass through intersections, since intersections are the most likely places for motorcycle accidents.

c. Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist's "blind spot".

4. Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current motorcycle license.

a. Make sure you are qualified. Also, only lend your motorcycle to experienced operators.

b. Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.

c. We recommend that you practice riding your motorcycle where there is no traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with your motorcycle and all of its controls.

1-2

5. Many motorcycle accidents have been caused by motorcycle operator errors. A typical error made by the operator is veering wide on a turn due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or undercornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed).

a. Always obey the speed limits and never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic conditions.

b. Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure other motorists see you. 6. The operator's and passenger's posture are important for proper control.

a. The operator should keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the operator footrests during operation to maintain control of the motorcycle.

b. The passenger should always hold on to the operator, or the seat strap or grab bar if the motorcycle is so equipped with both hands and keep both feet on the passenger footrests.

c. Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place both feet on the passenger footrests.

7. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL

The majority of fatalities from motorcycle accidents are the result of head injuries. The use of a safety helmet is the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries.

1. Always wear an approved helmet.

1-3

2. Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind on your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vision which could delay seeing a hazard.

3. The use of heavy boots, jacket, trousers, gloves, etc. is effective in preventing or reducing abrasions or lacerations.

4. Never wear loose fitting clothing. It could catch on the control levers, footrests, or wheels and cause injury or accident.

5. Never touch the engine or exhaust system during or after operation. They become very hot and can cause burns. Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet.

6. A passenger should also observe the above precautions.

MODIFICA nON

Modifications made to the motorcycle not approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment, may render your 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 stability and handling if the weight distribution of the machine is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, extreme caution should be used if adding cargo or accessories to your motorcycle. Use extra care if riding a motorcycle which has added cargo or accessories. Here are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo or adding accessories to your motorcycle:

1-4

IClt,ullMCI

The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit of 180 kg. When loading within these weight limits, keep the following in mind:

1. Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the motorcycle as possible. Be sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the machine to minimize imbalance or instability.

2. Shifting weights can create a sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securely attached to the motorcycle before riding. Recheck accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.

3. Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebars, front forks, or front fender. These items, including such cargo as sleeping bags, duffle bags, or tents, can create unstable handling or slow steering response.

Genuine Yamaha accessories have been specifically designed for use on this motorcycle. Since Yamaha cannot test all other accessories which may be available, you must personally be responsible for the proper selection, installation and use of non-Yamaha accessories. You should use extreme caution when selecting and installing any accessories. Keep in mind these guidelines for mounting accessories in addition to those provided under "LOADING".

ACCESSORIES

1-5

1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:

a. Always turn off the engine when refueling.

1. Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the performance of your motorcycle. Carefully inspect the accessory before using it to make sure it does not in any way reduce ground clearance or cornering clearance, limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors.

a. Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper weight distribution or aerodynamic 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.

b. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the motorcycle due to aerodynamic effects. Wind may attempt to lift the motorcycle, or the motorcycle may become unstable in cross winds. These accessories may also cause instability when being passed by or passing large vehicles.

c. 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.

2. Caution must be used if adding electrical accessories. If these 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.

GASOLINE AND EXHAUST GAS

1"6

b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust pipe(s)/muffler(s) when refueling.

c. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.

2. Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your motorcycle in an area that has adequate ventilation.

3. Always turn off the engine before leaving the motorcycle unattended and remove the ignition key. When parking the motorcycle, note the following:

a. The engine and exhaust pipe(s)/muffler(s) may be hot. Park the motorcycle in a place where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.

b. Do not park the motorcycle on a slope or soft ground; the motorcycle may fall over.

c. Do not park the motorcycle near a flammable source, e.g. a kerosene heater, or near an open flame. The motorcycle could catch fire.

4. When transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle, be sure it is kept upright and that the fuel cock(s) is turned to "ON" or "RES" (for vacuum type)/"OFF" (for manual type). If it should lean over, gasoline may leak out of the carburetor or fuel tank.

5. If you should swallow any gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get in your eye(s), see your doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water and change your clothes.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

EAK01303

A. CLEANING

Frequent, thorough cleaning of your motorcycle will not only enhance Its appearance but will improve its general performance and extend the useful life of many components.

1. Before cleaning the motorcycle:

a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe to prevent water entry A plastic bag and strong rubber band may be used.

b Make sure the spark plugs and all filler caps are properly Installed

2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush Do not apply degreaser to the chain, sprockets or wheel axles.

3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough pressure to do the Job.

EUU34602

Excessive hose pressure may cause water seepage and deterioration of wheel bearings, front fork, brakes, transmission seals and electrical parts. Many expensive repair bills have resulted from improper high pressure detergent applications such as those available in coin-operated car washers.

4 Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm water and mild, detergent-type soap. An old toothbrush or bottle brush IS handy for hard-to-get-at places.

5 Rinse the motorcycle off Immediately With clean water and dry all surfaces With a chamois, clean towel or soft absorbent cloth.

6. Dry the chain and lubricate It to prevent rust.

7. Windscreen cleaning

EUU37400

Avoid using any alkaline or strong acid cleaner, gasoline, brake fluid, or any other solvent.

Clean the windscreen with a cloth or sponge dampened with a neutral detergent, and after cleaning, thoroughly wash it off with water. Some cleaning compounds for plastics may leave scratches on surfaces of the windscreen. Before using them, make a test by polishing an area which does not affect your visibility.

8. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the cover pliable and glossy.

9. Automotive-type wax may be applied to all painted and chrome-plated surfaces Avoid combination cleaner-waxes. Many contain abrasives which may mar the paint or protective finish on the fuel tank and side covers. When finished, start the engine and let it idle for several minutes.

EAf(01202

B. STORAGE

Long term storage {60 days or more} of your motorcycle will require some preventive procedures to guard against deterioration. After thoroughly cleaning the motorcycle, prepare for storage as follows:
