SAFETY INFORMATION EAU10281

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 OWNERS MAN- UAL.

OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES.

OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH- NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED BY THE OWNERS 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 you are

approaching and passing through intersections, since in- tersections are the most likely places for motorcycle accidents to occur.

Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorists blind spot.

Many accidents involve inexperi- enced operators. In fact, many op- erators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a cur- rent motorcycle license. 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 accidents have been caused by error of the motorcycle opera- tor. A typical error made by the op- erator is veering wide on a turn

U2D212E0.book Page 1 Wednesday, October 17, 2007 5:01 PM

due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or un- dercornering (insufficient lean an- gle 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, the 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. 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 that 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.

A passenger should also observe the above precautions.

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:

U2D212E0.book Page 2 Wednesday, October 17, 2007 5:01 PM

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-3

1

Loading 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 a 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-

tor and may limit control ability, therefore, such accessories are not recommended.

Use caution when adding electri- cal accessories. If electrical acces- sories exceed the capacity of the motorcycles electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.

Gasoline and exhaust gas GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-

BLE: Always turn the engine off when

refueling. Take care not to spill any gaso-

line on the engine or exhaust system when refueling.

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

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

Always turn the engine off before leaving the motorcycle unattended and remove the key from the main switch. When parking the motor- cycle, note the following: The engine and exhaust system

may be hot, therefore, park the motorcycle in a place where pe- destrians or children are not like- ly to touch these hot areas.

Do not park the motorcycle on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over.

Do not park the motorcycle near a flammable source, (e.g., a ker- osene heater, or near an open flame), otherwise it could catch fire.

When transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle, make sure that it is kept upright. If the motorcycle should lean over, gasoline may leak out of the fuel tank.

If you should swallow any gaso- line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get into your eyes, see your doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin

or clothing, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water and change your clothes.

YCC-S system This vehicle features the YCC-S (Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shift) sys- tem. The basic function of this system allows the rider to shift gears without the use of a clutch lever. Furthermore, a shift lever is equipped on the handlebar, allowing the rider to choose to shift gears either with the shift pedal or by hand. When the engine is started and the shift pedal or the shift lever is moved, a sig- nal is sent to the MCU (Motor Control Unit) which disengages the clutch, then the shift is made. The MCU engages the clutch once the engine is running at the proper speed. Clutch engagement is controlled optimally by the MCU ac- cording to engine r/min, engine require- ments, and riding conditions. See Handlebar switches (page 3-10) and OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS (page 5-1) for further explanation of this system.

NOTE: This is not an automatic transmission, only the clutch system is automatic. The gears must be shifted by the rider.

ABS The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) features a dual electronic con- trol system, which acts on the front and rear brakes independently. The ABS is monitored by an ECU (Electronic Con- trol Unit), which will have recourse to manual braking if a malfunction occurs.

WARNING EWA10090

The ABS performs best on long braking distances.

On certain (rough or gravel) roads, the braking distance may be longer with than without the ABS. Therefore, always keep a sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead to match the riding speed.

NOTE: The ABS performs a self-diagno-

sis test for a few seconds each time the vehicle first starts off after the main switch was turned on. During this test, a clicking noise can be heard from under the seat, and if the brake lever or brake ped-

al are even slightly applied, a vi- bration can be felt at the lever and pedal, but these do not indicate a malfunction.

When the ABS is activated, the brakes are operated in the usual way. A pulsating action may be felt at the brake lever or brake pedal, but this does not indicate a mal- function.

This ABS has a test mode which allows the owner to experience the pulsating at the brake lever or brake pedal when the ABS is oper- ating. However, special tools are required, so please consult your Yamaha dealer when performing this test.

CAUTION: ECA16120

Keep any type of magnets (including magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic screwdrivers, etc.) away from the front and rear wheel hubs, otherwise the magnetic rotors equipped in the wheel hubs may be damaged, result- ing in improper performance of the ABS system.

EAU13300

CAUTION: ECA11400

Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline will cause severe damage to internal engine parts, such as the valves and piston rings, as well as to the exhaust system.

Your Yamaha engine has been de- signed to use regular unleaded gaso- line with a pump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a research octane number of 91 or higher. If

knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of a different brand or premi- um unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug life and reduce maintenance costs. Gasohol There are two types of gasohol: gaso- hol containing ethanol and that contain- ing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if the ethanol con- tent does not exceed 10%. Gasohol containing methanol is not recom- mended by Yamaha because it can cause damage to the fuel system or ve- hicle performance problems.

CAUTION: ECA10700

The following precautions must be observed to prevent a fire hazard or other damages.

Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline will cause unrepairable damage to the catalytic converter.

Never park the vehicle near pos- sible fire hazards such as grass or other materials that easily burn.

Do not allow the engine to idle too long.

EAU15593

The condition of a vehicle is the owners 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 loss of 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 short time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

WARNING EWA11150

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

WARNING EWA10270

Become thoroughly familiar with all operating controls and their functions before riding. Consult a Yamaha dealer re- garding any control or function that you do not thoroughly un- derstand.

Never start the engine or oper- ate it in a closed area for any length of time. Exhaust fumes are poisonous, and inhaling them can cause loss of con- sciousness and death within a short time. Always make sure that there is adequate ventila- tion.

Before starting out, make sure that the sidestand is up. If the sidestand is not raised com- pletely, it could contact the ground and distract the opera- tor, resulting in a possible loss of control.

EAU45310

NOTE: This model is equipped with a lean an- gle sensor to stop the engine in case of a turnover. To start the engine after a turnover, be sure to turn the main switch to OFF and then to ON. Fail- ing to do so will prevent the engine from starting even though the engine will crank when pushing the start switch.

EAU40841

Starting the engine In order for the ignition circuit cut-off system to enable starting, one of the following conditions must be met:

The front or rear brake is applied with the transmission in the neutral position whether the sidestand is up or down.

The front or rear brake is applied with the transmission in gear and the sidestand is up.

WARNING EWA14540

Before starting the engine, check the function of the igni- tion circuit cut-off system ac- cording to the procedure described on page 3-27.

Always apply the front or rear brake while the main switch is in the ON position and the trans- mission is in gear, otherwise the rear wheel will move freely.

Never ride with the sidestand down.

The gears can be shifted using either the shift pedal or the hand shift lever. The hand shift lever has to be enabled by pressing the hand shift control switch prior to being used. Refer to page 3-12 for the shift pedal operation, and to pages 3-11 and 3-13 for the hand shift lever operation. The gear positions are shown in the il- lustration.

NOTE: To shift the transmission into the neu- tral position, press the shift pedal down repeatedly, or push the side of the hand shift lever repeatedly until the neutral indicator light comes on.

CAUTION: ECA15530

Even with the transmission in the neutral position, do not coast for long periods of time with the engine off, and do not tow the vehicle for long distanc- es. The transmission is properly lubricated only when the engine is running. Inadequate lubrica- tion may damage the transmis- sion.

Always return the throttle to the closed position while changing gears to avoid damaging the en- gine, transmission, and drive train, which are not designed to withstand the shock of forced shifting.

NOTE: When shifting from neutral to first

gear, the engine speed must be lower than approximately 1300 r/min and the sidestand must be up.

Shifting up is impossible if the en- gine speed is too low.

Shifting down is impossible if the engine speed is too high.

EAU41240

To start out and accelerate 1. Close the throttle. 2. Shift the transmission into first

gear. The neutral indicator light should go out.

3. Open the throttle gradually. 4. Once the motorcycle has reached

a speed high enough to change gears, close the throttle.

5. Shift into second gear and release the shift pedal.

6. Open the throttle gradually. 7. Follow the same procedure when

shifting to the next higher gear.

NOTE: Always shift gears at the recommended shift points.

EAU41250

To decelerate 1. Apply both the front and the rear

brakes to slow the motorcycle. 2. Shift the transmission into first

gear when the motorcycle reaches 25 km/h (15.5 mi/h). If the engine is about to stall or runs very roughly, use the brakes to stop the motor- cycle.

3. Shift the transmission into the neu- tral position when the motorcycle is almost completely stopped. The neutral indicator light should come on.

Checking the spark plugs The spark plugs are important engine components, which should be checked periodically, preferably by a Yamaha dealer. Since heat and deposits will cause any spark plug to slowly erode, they should be removed and checked in accordance with the periodic mainte- nance and lubrication chart. In addition, the condition of the spark plugs can re- veal the condition of the engine. The porcelain insulator around the cen- ter electrode of each spark plug should be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color when the vehicle is ridden normally), and all spark plugs installed in the en- gine should have the same color. If any spark plug shows a distinctly different color, the engine could be operating im- properly. Do not attempt to diagnose such problems yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle. If a spark plug shows signs of electrode erosion and excessive carbon or other deposits, it should be replaced.

The YCC-S clutch fluid reservoir is located behind panel B. (See page 6-8.)

Observe these precautions: When checking the fluid level,

make sure that the top of the brake and YCC-S clutch fluid reservoirs are level.

Use only the recommended quality brake fluid, otherwise the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leakage and poor braking or YCC-S clutch performance.

Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction and lead to poor braking or YCC-S clutch performance.

The brake and YCC-S clutch fluid reservoir diaphragms will lose their shape from the negative pressure if the fluid level goes down too far.

Be sure to return the diaphragms to their original shape before rein- stalling them.

Be careful that water or dust does not enter the brake and YCC-S clutch fluid reservoirs when refill- ing. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor lock, and dirt may clog the ABS hydraulic unit valves.

Brake fluid may deteriorate paint- ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al- ways clean up spilled fluid immediately.

As the brake pads wear, it is nor- mal for the brake fluid level to grad- ually go down. However, if the brake fluid level goes down sud- denly, have a Yamaha dealer check the cause.

Engine overheating

WARNING EWAT1040

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.

Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the de- tent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.

NOTE: If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolant as soon as possible.

Wait until the engine has cooled.

Check the coolant level in the reservoir and radiator.

The coolant level is OK.

The coolant level is low. Check the cooling system for leakage.

Have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.

Add coolant. (See NOTE.)

Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.

There is leakage.

There is no leakage.

Matte color caution

CAUTION: ECA15192

Some models are equipped with matte colored finished parts. Be sure to consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on what products to use be- fore cleaning the vehicle. Using a brush, harsh chemical products or cleaning compounds when cleaning these parts will scratch or damage their surface. Wax also should not be applied to any matte colored fin- ished parts.

EAU26061

Care While the open design of a motorcycle reveals the attractiveness of the tech- nology, it also makes it more vulnera- ble. Rust and corrosion can develop even if high-quality components are used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go un- noticed on a car, however, it detracts from the overall appearance of a motor- cycle. Frequent and proper care does not only comply with the terms of the warranty, but it will also keep your motorcycle looking good, extend its life and optimize its performance.

Before cleaning 1. Cover the muffler outlets with plas-

tic bags after the engine has cooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and covers as well as all electrical couplers and connectors, including the spark plug caps, are tightly in- stalled.

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

ucts onto seals, gaskets and wheel axles. Always rinse the dirt and de- greaser off with water.

Cleaning

CAUTION: ECA10771

Avoid using strong acidic wheel cleaners, especially on spoked wheels. If such products are used on hard-to-remove dirt, do not leave the cleaner on the af- fected area any longer than in- structed. Also, thoroughly rinse the area off with water, immedi- ately dry it, and then apply a cor- rosion protection spray.

Improper cleaning can damage plastic parts such as cowlings, panels, windshields, headlight lenses, meter lenses, etc. Use only a soft, clean cloth or sponge with mild detergent and water to clean plastic.

Do not use any harsh chemical products on plastic parts. Be sure to avoid using cloths or sponges which have been in contact with strong or abrasive

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

cleaning products, solvent or thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re- movers or inhibitors, brake flu- id, antifreeze or electrolyte.

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

For motorcycles equipped with a windshield: Do not use strong cleaners or hard sponges as they will cause dulling or scratching. Some cleaning com- pounds for plastic may leave scratches on the windshield. Test the product on a small hid- den part of the windshield to make sure that it does not leave any marks. If the windshield is scratched, use a quality plastic polishing compound after washing.

After normal use Remove dirt with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft, clean sponge, and then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush for hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt and insects will come off more easily if the area is covered with a wet cloth for a few minutes before cleaning.

After riding in the rain, near the sea or on salt-sprayed roads Since sea salt or salt sprayed on roads during winter are extremely corrosive in combination with water, carry out the following steps after each ride in the rain, near the sea or on salt-sprayed roads.

NOTE: Salt sprayed on roads in the winter may remain well into spring.

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

CAUTION: ECA10790

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

2. After drying the motorcycle, apply a corrosion protection spray on all metal, including chrome- and nick- el-plated, surfaces to prevent cor- rosion.

After cleaning 1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois

or an absorbing cloth. 2. Use a chrome polish to shine

chrome, aluminum and stainless- steel parts, including the exhaust system. (Even the thermally in- duced discoloring of stainless- steel exhaust systems can be re- moved through polishing.)

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

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

5. Touch up minor paint damage caused by stones, etc.

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

before storing or covering it.

WARNING EWA11130

Make sure that there is no oil or wax on the brakes or tires.

If necessary, clean the brake discs and brake linings with a regular brake disc cleaner or ac- etone, and wash the tires with warm water and a mild deter- gent. Before riding at higher speeds, test the motorcycles braking performance and cor- nering behavior.

CAUTION: ECA10800

Apply spray oil and wax spar- ingly and make sure to wipe off any excess.

Never apply oil or wax to any rubber and plastic parts, but treat them with a suitable care product.

Avoid using abrasive polishing compounds as they will wear away the paint.

NOTE: Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on what products to use.

EAU26241

Storage

Short-term Always store your motorcycle in a cool, dry place and, if necessary, protect it against dust with a porous cover.

CAUTION: ECA10810

Storing the motorcycle in a poorly ventilated room or cover- ing it with a tarp, while it is still wet, will allow water and humid- ity to seep in and cause rust.

To prevent corrosion, avoid damp cellars, stables (because of the presence of ammonia) and areas where strong chemi- cals are stored.

Long-term Before storing your motorcycle for sev- eral months:

1. Follow all the instructions in the Care section of this chapter.

2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer (if available) to prevent the fuel tank from rusting and the fuel from deteriorating.

3. Perform the following steps to pro- tect the cylinders, piston rings, etc. from corrosion. a. Remove the spark plug caps

and spark plugs. b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil

into each spark plug bore. c. Install the spark plug caps onto

the spark plugs, and then place the spark plugs on the cylinder head so that the electrodes are grounded. (This will limit spark- ing during the next step.)

d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter. (This will coat the cylinder walls with oil.)

e. Remove the spark plug caps from the spark plugs, and then install the spark plugs and the spark plug caps.

WARNING EWA10950

To prevent damage or injury from sparking, make sure to ground the spark plug electrodes while turning the engine over.

4. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting points of all levers and pedals as well as of the side- stand/centerstand.

5. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air pressure, and then lift the motorcycle so that both of its wheels are off the ground. Alterna- tively, turn the wheels a little every month in order to prevent the tires from becoming degraded in one spot.

6. Cover the muffler outlets with plas- tic bags to prevent moisture from entering them.

7. Remove the battery and fully charge it. Store it in a cool, dry place and charge it once a month. Do not store the battery in an ex- cessively cold or warm place [less than 0 C (30 F) or more than 30 C (90 F)]. For more information on storing the battery, see page 6-29.

NOTE: Make any necessary repairs before storing the motorcycle.

WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period? The customers responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance services, non-warranty repairs, accident and collision damages, and oil, oil filters, air filters, spark plugs, and brake shoes.

What are some examples of abnormal strain, neglect, or abuse? These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples include: Running the machine out of oil, sustained high rpm, full-throttle, operating the machine with a broken or damaged part which causes another part to fail, damage or failure due to improper or careless transportation and/or tie-down. If you have any specific questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your dealer for advice.

Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as towing or transportation due to a failure? No. The warranty is limited to repair of the machine itself.

May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owners Manual instead of having the dealer do them? Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owners and Service Manual. We do recommend, however, that items requiring special tools or equipment be done by a Yamaha motorcycle dealer.

Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new motorcycle exactly as specified in the Owners Manual? No. The warranty on a new motorcycle cannot be voided or cancelled. However, if a particular failure is caused by operation or maintenance other than as described in the Owners Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.

What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty? Each Yamaha motorcycle dealer is expected to:

Completely set up every new machine before sale. Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satisfaction at the time of sale, and upon your request at any later date. Each Yamaha motorcycle dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and warranty repair work.

Is the warranty transferable to second owners? Yes. The remainder of the existing warranty can be transferred upon request. The unit has to be inspected and re-registered by an authorized Yamaha motorcycle dealer for the policy to remain effective.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

If your machine requires warranty service, you must take it to any authorized Yamaha motorcycle dealer within the continental United States. Be sure to bring your warranty registration card or other valid proof of the original date of purchase. If a question or problem arises regarding the warranty, first contact the owner of the dealership.

See the sample contract at your Yamaha dealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory- backed protection can be.

You dont have to pay anything for covered repairs. Theres no deductible to pay, and repairs arent pro-rated. You dont 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 you sell 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.
