SAFETY INFORMATION EAU39313

Safe riding� Always make pre-operation

checks. Careful checks may helpprevent an accident.

� This motorcycle is designed for off-road use only, therefore, it is illegalto operate it on public streets,roads, or highways, even a dirt orgravel one. Off-road use on publiclands may be illegal. Please checklocal regulations before riding.

� This motorcycle is designed to car-ry the operator only. No passen-gers.

� Many accidents involve inexperi-enced operators.• Make sure that the operator is

qualified and that you only lendyour motorcycle to other quali-fied operators.

• Know your skills and limits.Staying within your limits mayhelp you to avoid an accident.

� Many accidents have been causedby error of the motorcycle opera-tor. A typical error made by the op-erator is veering wide on a turndue to EXCESSIVE SPEED or un-

dercornering (insufficient lean an-gle for the speed). Never travelfaster than warranted by condi-tions.

� Ride cautiously in unfamiliar ar-eas. You may encounter hiddenobstacles that could cause an ac-cident.

� The posture of the operator is im-portant for proper control. The op-erator should keep both hands onthe handlebar and both feet on theoperator footrests during operationto maintain control of the motor-cycle.

� Never ride under the influence ofalcohol or other drugs.

� Be sure the transmission is in neu-tral before starting the engine.

Protective apparelThe majority of fatalities from motor-cycle accidents are the result of headinjuries. The use of a safety helmet isthe 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 eyescould contribute to an impairmentof vision that could delay seeing ahazard.

� The use of a jacket, heavy boots,trousers, gloves, etc., is effective inpreventing or reducing abrasionsor lacerations.

� Never wear loose-fitting clothes,otherwise they could catch on thecontrol levers, footrests, or wheelsand cause injury or an accident.

� Never touch the engine or exhaustsystem during or after operation.They become very hot and cancause burns. Always wear protec-tive clothing that covers your legs,ankles, and feet.

ModificationsModifications made to this motorcyclenot approved by Yamaha, or the re-moval of original equipment, may ren-der the motorcycle unsafe for use andmay cause severe personal injury.Modifications may also make yourmotorcycle illegal to use.

Loading and accessoriesAdding accessories to your motorcyclecan adversely affect stability and han-dling if the weight distribution of themotorcycle is changed. To avoid thepossibility of an accident, use extremecaution when adding accessories toyour motorcycle. Use extra care whenriding a motorcycle that has added ac-cessories. Here are some generalguidelines to follow if adding accesso-ries to your motorcycle:Loading

� The weight of the operator mustnot exceed 60 kg (132 lb).

� Accessory weight should be keptas low and close to the motorcycleas possible. Make sure to distrib-ute the weight as evenly as possi-ble on both sides of the motorcycleto minimize imbalance or instabili-ty.

� Shifting weights can create a sud-den imbalance. Make sure that ac-cessories are securely attached tothe motorcycle before riding.Check accessory mounts fre-quently.

� Never attach any large or heavyitems to the handlebar, front fork,or front fender.

AccessoriesGenuine Yamaha accessories havebeen specifically designed for use onthis motorcycle. Since Yamaha cannottest all other accessories that may beavailable, you must personally be re-sponsible for the proper selection, in-stallation and use of non-Yamahaaccessories. Use extreme cautionwhen selecting and installing any ac-cessories.Keep these guidelines in mind formounting accessories in addition tothose provided under “Loading”.

� Never install accessories or thatwould impair the performance ofyour motorcycle. Carefully inspectthe accessory before using it tomake sure that it does not in anyway reduce ground clearance orcornering clearance, limit suspen-sion travel, steering travel or con-trol operation.• Accessories fitted to the handle-

bar or the front fork area cancreate instability due to improper

weight distribution or aerody-namic changes. If accessoriesare added to the handlebar orfront fork area, they must be aslightweight as possible andshould be kept to a minimum.

• Bulky or large accessories mayseriously affect the stability ofthe motorcycle due to aerody-namic effects. Wind may at-tempt to lift the motorcycle, orthe motorcycle may become un-stable in cross winds.

• Certain accessories can dis-place the operator from his orher normal riding position. Thisimproper position limits the free-dom of movement of the opera-tor and may limit control ability,therefore, such accessories arenot recommended.

� Use caution when adding electri-cal accessories. If electrical acces-sories exceed the capacity of themotorcycle’s electrical system, anelectric failure could result, whichcould cause a dangerous loss ofengine power.

EAU15593

The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or lossof tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspec-tion, to check the following points before each ride.

NOTE:Pre-operation checks should be made each time the vehicle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very shorttime; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

WARNINGEWA11150

If any item in the Pre-operation check list is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operatingthe vehicle.

Shifting

This motorcycle has a 4-speed trans-mission with a centrifugal, automaticclutch. Shifting gears lets you controlthe amount of engine power availablefor starting off, accelerating, climbinghills, etc.The gear positions are shown in the il-lustration.

NOTE:To shift the transmission into the neu-tral position, press the shift pedal downrepeatedly until it reaches the end of itstravel.

CAUTION:ECA15441

� Even with the transmission inthe neutral position, do notcoast for long periods of timewith the engine off, and do nottow the motorcycle for long dis-tances. The transmission isproperly lubricated only whenthe engine is running. Inade-quate lubrication may damagethe transmission.

� Always release the throttle gripbefore changing gears to avoiddamaging the engine, transmis-sion, and drive train, which arenot designed to withstand theshock of shifting when the throt-tle grip is open.

Engine break-in There is never a more important periodin the life of your engine than the first 5hours of riding. It is also important to ac-custom the rider to the motorcycle dur-ing this time. Please read the followinginformation carefully.Since the engine is brand new, do notput an excessive load on it for the first 5hours of operation. The various parts inthe engine wear and polish themselvesto the correct operating clearances.During this period, prolonged full-throt-tle operation or any condition that mightresult in engine overheating must beavoided. However, momentary full-throttle operation under load (i.e., twoto three seconds maximum) does notharm the engine. Each full-throttle ac-celeration should be followed with asubstantial rest period for the engine.To allow the engine to cool down fromthe temporary buildup of heat, cruise ata lower engine speed.After the first 5 hours of operation, thor-oughly check the motorcycle for looseparts, oil leakage and any other prob-lems. Be sure to inspect and make ad-

justments thoroughly, especially cableand drive chain slack and loosespokes. In addition, check all fittingsand fasteners for looseness, and tight-en if necessary.

CAUTION:ECA10270

If any engine trouble should occurduring the engine break-in period,immediately have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.

Matte color caution

CAUTION:ECA15192

Some models are equipped withmatte colored finished parts. Besure to consult a Yamaha dealer foradvice on what products to use be-fore cleaning the vehicle. Using abrush, harsh chemical products orcleaning compounds when cleaningthese parts will scratch or damagetheir surface. Wax also should notbe applied to any matte colored fin-ished parts.

EAU40462

Care While the open design of a motorcyclereveals the attractiveness of the tech-nology, it also makes it more vulnera-ble. Rust and corrosion can developeven if high-quality components areused. A rusty exhaust pipe may go un-noticed on a car, however, it detractsfrom the overall appearance of a motor-cycle. Frequent and proper care doesnot only comply with the terms of thewarranty, but it will also keep yourmotorcycle looking good, extend its lifeand optimize its performance.

Before cleaning1. Cover the muffler outlet with a

plastic bag after the engine hascooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and coversas well as all electrical couplersand connectors, including thespark plug cap, are tightly in-stalled.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,like oil burnt onto the crankcase,with a degreasing agent and abrush, but never apply such prod-

ucts onto seals, gaskets, sprock-ets, the drive chain and wheelaxles. Always rinse the dirt and de-greaser off with water.

Cleaning

CAUTION:ECA10771

� Avoid using strong acidic wheelcleaners, especially on spokedwheels. If such products areused on hard-to-remove dirt, donot leave the cleaner on the af-fected area any longer than in-structed. Also, thoroughly rinsethe area off with water, immedi-ately dry it, and then apply a cor-rosion protection spray.

� Improper cleaning can damageplastic parts such as cowlings,panels, windshields, headlightlenses, meter lenses, etc. Useonly a soft, clean cloth orsponge with mild detergent andwater to clean plastic.

� Do not use any harsh chemicalproducts on plastic parts. Besure to avoid using cloths orsponges which have been in

contact with strong or abrasivecleaning products, solvent orthinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-movers or inhibitors, brake flu-id, antifreeze or electrolyte.

� Do not use high-pressure wash-ers or steam-jet cleaners sincethey cause water seepage anddeterioration in the following ar-eas: seals (of wheel and swing-arm bearings, fork and brakes),electric components (couplers,connectors, instruments,switches and lights), breatherhoses and vents.

� For motorcycles equipped witha windshield: Do not use strongcleaners or hard sponges asthey will cause dulling orscratching. Some cleaning com-pounds for plastic may leavescratches on the windshield.Test the product on a small hid-den part of the windshield tomake sure that it does not leaveany marks. If the windshield is

scratched, use a quality plasticpolishing compound afterwashing.

After normal useRemove dirt with warm water, a milddetergent, and a soft, clean sponge,and then rinse thoroughly with cleanwater. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrushfor hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirtand insects will come off more easily ifthe area is covered with a wet cloth fora few minutes before cleaning.After riding in the rain or near the seaSince sea salt is extremely corrosive,carry out the following steps after eachride in the rain or near the sea.

1. Clean the motorcycle with cold wa-ter and a mild detergent, after theengine has cooled down.

CAUTION:ECA10790

Do not use warm water since it in-creases the corrosive action of thesalt.

2. Apply a corrosion protection sprayon all metal, including chrome- andnickel-plated, surfaces to preventcorrosion.

After cleaning1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois

or an absorbing cloth.2. Immediately dry the drive chain

and lubricate it to prevent it fromrusting.

3. Use a chrome polish to shinechrome, aluminum and stainless-steel parts, including the exhaustsystem. (Even the thermally in-duced discoloring of stainless-steel exhaust systems can be re-moved through polishing.)

4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-mended to apply a corrosion pro-tection spray on all metal,including chrome- and nickel-plat-ed, surfaces.

5. Use spray oil as a universal clean-er to remove any remaining dirt.

6. Touch up minor paint damagecaused by stones, etc.

7. Wax all painted surfaces.8. Let the motorcycle dry completely

before storing or covering it.

YAMAHA EXTENDED SERVICE (Y.E.S.) Keep your Yamaha protected even after your warranty expires with genuine Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.).

Y.E.S. is designed and administered by Yamaha Motor Corporation to provide maximum owner satisfaction. You get uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra peace of mind.

Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that’s right foryou: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months or, on certain models, even 48 months beyond your warranty period.

Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same Yamaha people who handle your warranty – and itshows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There are no mileage limitations. Coverage isn’t limited to “moving parts” or the “drive train” like many other plans. And Y.E.S. covers manufacturing defects just like the warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamahadealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory-backed protection can be.

You don’t have to pay anything for covered repairs. There’s no deductible to pay, and repairs aren’t“pro-rated.” You don’t have any “out-of-pocket” expenses for covered repairs.

In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection (TRIP) is included at no extra cost. TRIP gives you up to $150 reimbursement per occurrence for any reasonable expenses you incur because your Yamaha needs covered service: replacement vehicle rental, emergency towing, phone calls, even food and lodging when you are away from home. This superb coverage goes into effect when you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any warranty repairs as well as covered repairs during your entire Y.E.S. plan period.

Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha dealer nationwide.

Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to a new owner if yousell or trade-in. That can make your Yamaha much more valuable!

This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only available to Yamaha owners like you, and only while your Yamaha is still within the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So visit your authorized Yamaha dealer to get all the facts. He can show you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha Extended Service.
