pears to be very effective in reduc- ing 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.
Never maintain a motorcycle without proper knowledge. Contact an authorized motorcy- cle dealer to inform you on ba- sic motorcycle maintenance. Certain maintenance can only be carried out by certified staff.

a Responsible Owner
the vehicles owner, you are re- onsible for the safe and proper oper- ion of your motorcycle. otorcycles are single-track vehicles. eir safe use and operation are de- ndent upon the use of proper riding chniques as well as the expertise of e operator. Every operator should ow the following requirements be- re riding this motorcycle. or she should:
Obtain thorough instructions from a competent source on all aspects of motorcycle operation. Observe the warnings and mainte- nance requirements in this Own- ers Manual. Obtain qualified training in safe and proper riding techniques. Obtain professional technical ser- vice as indicated in this Owners Manual and/or when made neces- sary by mechanical conditions.
Never operate a motorcycle with- out proper training or instruction. Take a training course. Beginners should receive training from a cer- tified instructor. Contact an autho- rized motorcycle dealer to find out about the training courses nearest you.
Safe Riding
Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehi- cle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage. See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operation checks. This motorcycle is designed to
carry the operator and a passen- ger.
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 ap-

tective Apparel
majority of fatalities from motorcy- accidents are the result of head in- es. The use of a safety helmet is the le most critical factor in the pre- tion 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 abra- sions or lacerations. Never wear loose-fitting clothes, otherwise they could catch on the control levers, footrests, or wheels and cause injury or an accident. Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet. The engine or exhaust sys- tem become very hot during or af- ter operation and can cause burns. A passenger should also observe the above precautions.

SAFETY INFORMATION
2-2
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 mo- torcycle to other qualified oper- ators.
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 operator. A typical error made by the operator is veering wide on a turn 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 condi- tions.
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.

en loading within this weight limit, ep the following in mind:
Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the motorcycle as possible. Se- curely pack your heaviest items as close to the center of the vehicle as possible and make sure to dis- tribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the mo- torcycle to minimize imbalance or instability. Shifting weights can create a sud- den imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are se- curely attached to the motorcycle before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints fre- quently. Properly adjust the suspension
for your load (suspension-ad- justable models only), and check the condition and pres- sure of your tires.
Never 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

void Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
ll engine exhaust contains carbon onoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing
arbon monoxide can cause head- ches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, onfusion, and eventually death. arbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor- ss, tasteless gas which may be pres- nt even if you do not see or smell any ngine exhaust. Deadly levels of car- on monoxide can collect rapidly and ou can quickly be overcome and un- ble to save yourself. Also, deadly lev- ls of carbon monoxide can linger for ours or days in enclosed or poorly entilated areas. If you experience any ymptoms of carbon monoxide poi- oning, leave the area immediately, get esh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT- ENT. Do not run engine indoors. Even if
you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rap- idly reach dangerous levels.
Do not run engine in poorly venti- lated or partially enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or car- ports.
Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through openings such as windows and doors.
Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to your motorcycle can adversely affect stabil- ity and handling if the weight distribu- tion of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, use extreme caution when adding cargo or accessories to your motorcycle. Use extra care when riding a motorcycle that has added cargo or accessories. Here, along with the information about accessories below, are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo to your motorcycle: The total weight of the operator, pas- senger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit. Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.

steering travel or control opera- tion, or obscure lights or reflec- tors. Accessories fitted to the han-
dlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improp- er 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 unstable in cross winds. These accessories may also cause in- stability 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 freedom of movement of the

-22 for tire specifications and more in- rmation on replacing your tires.
ransporting the Motorcycle
e sure to observe following instruc- ons before transporting the motorcy- le in another vehicle. Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
Check that the fuel cock (if equipped) is in the OFF position and that there are no fuel leaks.
Point the front wheel straight ahead on the trailer or in the truck bed, and choke it in a rail to pre- vent movement.
Shift the transmission in gear (for models with a manual transmis- sion).
Secure the motorcycle with tie- downs or suitable straps that are attached to solid parts of the mo- torcycle, such as the frame or up- per front fork triple clamp (and not, for example, to rubber-mounted handlebars or turn signals, or parts that could break). Choose the location for the straps carefully so the straps will not rub against painted surfaces during transport.
The suspension should be com- pressed somewhat by the tie- downs, if possible, so that the mo- torcycle will not bounce exces- sively during transport.

Checking the spark plugs The spark plugs are important engine components, which should be checked periodically, preferably by a Yamaha dealer. Since heat and depos- its will cause any spark plug to slowly erode, they should be removed and checked in accordance with the peri- odic maintenance and lubrication chart. In addition, the condition of the spark plugs can reveal the condition of the engine. The porcelain insulator around the center 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 engine should have the same color. If any spark plug shows a dis- tinctly different color, the engine could be operating improperly. Do not at- tempt to diagnose such problems yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha deal- er check the vehicle. If a spark plug shows signs of elec- trode erosion and excessive carbon or other deposits, it should be replaced.

WARNING
EWA10582
It is dangerous to ride with a
worn-out tire. When a tire tread
begins to show crosswise lines,
have a Yamaha dealer replace
the tire immediately.
The replacement of all wheel-
and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
edge and experience to do so.
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be broken
in for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.
Tire information
This model is equipped with tubeless tires and tire air valves. Tires age, even if they have not been used or have only been used occasion- ally. Cracking of the tread and sidewall rubber, sometimes accompanied by carcass deformation, is an evidence of ageing. Old and aged tires shall be checked by tire specialists to ascertain their suitability for further use.

igh-speed tires. Note the following
oints in order to make the most ef-
cient use of these tires.
Use only the specified replace-
ment tires. Other tires may run
the danger of bursting at super
high speeds.
Brand-new tires can have a rel-
atively poor grip on certain road
surfaces until they have been
broken in. Therefore, it is ad-
visable before doing any high-
speed riding to ride conserva-
tively for approximately 100 km
(60 mi) after installing a new tire.
The tires must be warmed up
before a high-speed run.
Always adjust the tire air pres-
sure according to the operating
conditions.
EAU21963
Cast wheels To maximize the performance, durabil- ity, and safe operation of your vehicle, note the following points regarding the specified wheels. The wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends, warp- age or other damage before each ride. If any damage is found, have a Yamaha dealer replace the wheel. Do not attempt even the smallest repair to the wheel. A de- formed or cracked wheel must be replaced.
The wheel should be balanced whenever either the tire or wheel has been changed or replaced. An unbalanced wheel can result in poor performance, adverse han- dling characteristics, and a short- ened tire life.

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 mo- torcycle. 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 outlet with a plastic bag after the engine has cooled down.
2. Make sure that all caps and cov- ers as well as all electrical cou- plers and connectors, including the spark plug caps, are tightly in- stalled.

plenty of water, as it is harmful
to plastic parts.
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
cleaning products, solvent or
thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-
movers or inhibitors, brake fluid,
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
compounds for plastic may
leave scratches on the wind-
shield. Test the product on a
small hidden part of the wind-
shield to make sure that it does
not leave any marks. If the wind-
shield is scratched, use a quality
plastic polishing compound af-
ter 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.

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.
