MACHINES 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 THIS MACHINE.
HE OR SHE SHOULD:
lOBTAIN THOROUGH
INSTRUCTIONS FROM A
COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL
ASPECTS OF MACHINE
OPERATION.
lOBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND
MAINTENANCE
REQUIREMENTS IN THE
OWNER’S MANUAL.
lOBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING
IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING
TECHNIQUES.
lOBTAIN PROFESSIONAL
TECHNICAL SERVICE AS
INDICATED BY THE OWNER’S
MANUAL AND/OR WHEN MADE
NECESSARY BY MECHANICAL
CONDITIONS.

Safe riding
lAlways make pre-operation
checks. Careful checks may help
prevent an accident.
lThis machine is designed for off-
road use only, therefore, it is illegal
to operate it on public streets,
roads, or highways. Off-road use
on public lands may be illegal.
Please check local regulations
before riding.
lThis machine is designed to carry
the operator only. No passengers.
lMany accidents involve
inexperienced operators.
•Make sure that you are qualified
and that you only lend your
machine to other qualified
operators.
•Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
lMany accidents have been caused
by error of the machine operator. 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). Never travel
faster than warranted by
conditions.
lRide cautiously in unfamiliar areas.
You may encounter hidden
obstacles that could cause an
accident.
lThe posture of the operator is
important for proper control. The
operator should keep both hands
on the handlebar and both feet on
the operator footrests during
operation to maintain control of the
machine.
lNever ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.

The majority of fatalities from machine
accidents are the result of head injuri-
es. The use of a safety helmet is the
single most critical factor in the
prevention or reduction of head injuri-
es.
lAlways wear an approved helmet.
lWear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impairment
of vision that could delay seeing a

lThe use of a jacket, heavy boots,
trousers, gloves, etc., is effective
in preventing or reducing abrasions
or lacerations.
lNever 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
protective clothing that covers your
legs, ankles, and feet.

Modifications made to this machine not
approved by Yamaha, or the removal
of original equipment, may render the
machine unsafe for use and may cau-
se severe personal injury. Modifications
may also make your machine illegal to
use.
Loading and accessoriesLoading and accessories
Loading and accessoriesLoading and accessories
Loading and accessories
Adding accessories or cargo to your
machine can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution
of the machine is changed. To avoid the
possibility of an accident, use extreme
caution when adding cargo or
accessories to your machine. Use ex-
tra care when riding a machine that has
added cargo or accessories. Here are
some general guidelines to follow if
loading cargo or adding accessories to
your machine:
Loading
The total weight of the operator,
accessories and cargo must not exceed
the maximum load limit of 90.0 kg (198
lb). When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
lCargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close to
the machine as possible. Make
sure to distribute the weight as
evenly as possible on both sides
of the machine to minimize
imbalance or instability.
lShifting weights can create a
sudden imbalance. Make sure that
accessories and cargo are
securely attached to the machine
before riding. Check accessory
mounts and cargo restraints
frequently.
lNever attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front fork,
or front fender. These items,
including such cargo as sleeping
bags, duffel bags, or tents, can
create unstable handling or a slow
steering response.
Accessories
Genuine Yamaha accessories have
been specifically designed for use on
this machine. Since Yamaha cannot test
all other accessories that may be
available, you must personally be
responsible for the proper selection,
installation and use of non-Yamaha
accessories. Use extreme caution when
selecting and installing any accessories.
Keep these guidelines in mind for
mounting accessories in addition to
those provided under “Loading”.
lNever install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the
performance of your machine.
Carefully 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
obscure lights or reflectors.
•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.
•Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability of the
machine due to aerodynamic
effects. Wind may attempt to lift
the machine, or the machine
may become unstable in cross
winds.
•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.
lUse caution when adding electrical
accessories. If electrical
accessories exceed the capacity of
the machine’s electrical system an
electric failure could result, which
could cause a dangerous loss of
lights or engine power.

lGASOLINE IS HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE:
•Always turn the engine off when
refueling.
•Take care not to spill any
gasoline on the engine or
exhaust pipe(s)/muffler(s) when
refueling.
•Never refuel while smoking or in
the vicinity of an open flame.
lNever 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
machine in an area that has
adequate ventilation.
lAlways turn the engine off before
leaving the machine unattended
and remove the key from the main
switch. When parking the machine,
note the following:
•The engine and exhaust pipe(s)/
muffler(s) may be hot, therefore,
park the machine in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch these hot
areas.
•Do not park the machine on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise
it may fall over.
•Do not park the machine near a
flammable source (e.g., a
kerosene heater, or near an
open flame), otherwise it could
catch fire.
lWhen transporting the machine in
another vehicle, make sure that it
is kept upright and that the fuel
cock(s) are turned to “ON” or “RES”
(for vacuum type)/”OFF” (for ma-
nual type). If the machine should
lean over, gasoline may leak out
of the carburetor or fuel tank.
lIf you should swallow any gasoline,
inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or
allow gasoline to get into your eyes,
