SAFETY INFORMATIONEAU1028B

Be a Responsible OwnerAs the vehicle’s owner, you are respon-sible for the safe and proper operationof your motorcycle.Motorcycles are single-track vehicles.Their safe use and operation are de-pendent upon the use of proper ridingtechniques as well as the expertise ofthe operator. Every operator shouldknow the following requirements beforeriding this motorcycle.He or she should: Obtain thorough instructions from

a competent source on all aspectsof motorcycle operation.

Observe the warnings and mainte-nance requirements in this Own-er’s Manual.

Obtain qualified training in safeand proper riding techniques.

Obtain professional technical ser-vice as indicated in this Owner’sManual and/or when made neces-sary by mechanical conditions.

Never operate a motorcycle with-out proper training or instruction.

Take a training course. Beginnersshould receive training from a cer-tified instructor. Contact an autho-rized motorcycle dealer to find outabout the training courses nearestyou.

Safe RidingPerform the pre-operation checks eachtime you use the vehicle to make sure itis in safe operating condition. Failure toinspect or maintain the vehicle properlyincreases the possibility of an accidentor equipment damage. See page 4-1for a list of pre-operation checks. 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 ofautomobile/motorcycle accidents.Many accidents have been causedby an automobile driver who didnot see the motorcycle. Makingyourself conspicuous appears tobe very effective in reducing thechance of this type of accident.Therefore:• Wear a brightly colored jacket.

• Use extra caution when you areapproaching and passingthrough intersections, since in-tersections are the most likelyplaces for motorcycle accidentsto occur.

• Ride where other motorists cansee you. Avoid riding in anothermotorist’s blind spot.

• Never maintain a motorcyclewithout proper knowledge. Con-tact an authorized motorcycledealer to inform you on basicmotorcycle maintenance. Cer-tain maintenance can only becarried out by certified staff.

Many accidents involve inexperi-enced operators. In fact, many op-erators who have been involved inaccidents 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 opera-tors.

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

• We recommend that you prac-

tice riding your motorcyclewhere there is no traffic until youhave become thoroughly famil-iar with the motorcycle and all ofits controls.

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 under-cornering (insufficient lean anglefor the speed).• Always obey the speed limit and

never travel faster than warrant-ed by road and traffic conditions.

• Always signal before turning orchanging lanes. Make sure thatother motorists can see you.

The posture of the operator andpassenger is important for propercontrol.• The operator should keep both

hands on the handlebar andboth feet on the operator foot-rests during operation to main-tain control of the motorcycle.

• The passenger should alwayshold onto the operator, the seatstrap or grab bar, if equipped,

with both hands and keep bothfeet on the passenger footrests.Never carry a passenger unlesshe or she can firmly place bothfeet on the passenger footrests.

Never ride under the influence ofalcohol or other drugs.

This motorcycle is designed foron-road use only. It is not suitablefor off-road use.

Protective ApparelThe majority of fatalities from motorcy-cle accidents are the result of head in-juries. The use of a safety helmet is thesingle most critical factor in the preven-tion 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 the

control levers, footrests, or wheelsand cause injury or an accident.

Always wear protective clothingthat covers your legs, ankles, andfeet. The engine or exhaust sys-tem become very hot during or af-ter operation and can cause burns.

A passenger should also observethe above precautions.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide PoisoningAll engine exhaust contains carbonmonoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car-bon monoxide can cause headaches,dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu-sion, and eventually death.Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-less, tasteless gas which may be pres-ent even if you do not see or smell anyengine exhaust. Deadly levels of car-bon monoxide can collect rapidly andyou can quickly be overcome and un-able to save yourself. Also, deadly lev-els of carbon monoxide can linger forhours or days in enclosed or poorlyventilated areas. If you experience anysymptoms of carbon monoxide poison-ing, leave the area immediately, getfresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-

MENT. Do not run engine indoors. Even if

you try to ventilate engine exhaustwith fans or open windows anddoors, carbon monoxide can rap-idly reach dangerous levels.

Do not run engine in poorly venti-lated or partially enclosed areassuch as barns, garages, or car-ports.

Do not run engine outdoors whereengine exhaust can be drawn intoa building through openings suchas windows and doors.

LoadingAdding accessories or cargo to yourmotorcycle can adversely affect stabili-ty and handling if the weight distributionof the motorcycle is changed. To avoidthe possibility of an accident, use ex-treme caution when adding cargo oraccessories to your motorcycle. Useextra care when riding a motorcyclethat has added cargo or accessories.Here, along with the information aboutaccessories below, are some generalguidelines to follow if loading cargo toyour motorcycle:

The total weight of the operator, pas-senger, accessories and cargo mustnot exceed the maximum load limit.Operation of an overloaded vehiclecould cause an accident.

When loading within this weight limit,keep the following in mind: Cargo and accessory weight

should be kept as low and close tothe motorcycle as possible. Se-curely pack your heaviest items asclose to the center of the vehicle aspossible and 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 and cargo are securelyattached to the motorcycle beforeriding. Check accessory mountsand cargo restraints frequently.• Properly adjust the suspension

for your load (suspension-ad-

justable models only), andcheck the condition and pres-sure of your tires.

• Never attach any large or heavyitems to the handlebar, frontfork, or front fender. Theseitems, including such cargo assleeping bags, duffel bags, ortents, can create unstable han-dling or a slow steering re-sponse.

This vehicle is not designed topull a trailer or to be attached toa sidecar.

Genuine Yamaha AccessoriesChoosing accessories for your vehicleis an important decision. GenuineYamaha accessories, which are avail-able only from a Yamaha dealer, havebeen designed, tested, and approvedby Yamaha for use on your vehicle.Many companies with no connection toYamaha manufacture parts and acces-sories or offer other modifications forYamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in aposition to test the products that theseaftermarket companies produce.Therefore, Yamaha can neither en-

dorse nor recommend the use of ac-cessories not sold by Yamaha ormodifications not specifically recom-mended by Yamaha, even if sold andinstalled by a Yamaha dealer.

Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and ModificationsWhile you may find aftermarket prod-ucts similar in design and quality togenuine Yamaha accessories, recog-nize that some aftermarket accessoriesor modifications are not suitable be-cause of potential safety hazards to youor others. Installing aftermarket prod-ucts or having other modifications per-formed to your vehicle that change anyof the vehicle’s design or operationcharacteristics can put you and othersat greater risk of serious injury or death.You are responsible for injuries relatedto changes in the vehicle.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 doesnot in any way reduce groundclearance or cornering clearance,limit suspension travel, steeringtravel or control operation, or ob-scure lights or reflectors.• Accessories fitted to the handle-

bar or the front fork area cancreate instability due to improperweight 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. These ac-cessories may also causeinstability when passing or beingpassed by large vehicles.

• 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 oflights or engine power.

Aftermarket Tires and RimsThe tires and rims that came with yourmotorcycle were designed to match theperformance capabilities and to providethe best combination of handling, brak-ing, and comfort. Other tires, rims, siz-es, and combinations may not beappropriate. Refer to page 6-14 for tirespecifications and more information onreplacing your tires.

Transporting the MotorcycleBe sure to observe following instruc-tions before transporting the motorcy-cle in another vehicle. Remove all loose items from the

motorcycle.

Use only unleaded gasoline. The useof leaded gasoline will cause severedamage 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 research octane number of95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-curs, use a gasoline of a different brand

or premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-leaded fuel will extend spark plug lifeand reduce maintenance costs.

GasoholThere are two types of gasohol: gaso-hol containing ethanol and that contain-ing methanol. Gasohol containingethanol can be used if the ethanol con-tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-ohol containing methanol is notrecommended by Yamaha because itcan cause damage to the fuel systemor vehicle performance problems.

Checking the spark plugThe spark plug is an important enginecomponent, which is easy to check.Since heat and deposits will cause anyspark plug to slowly erode, the sparkplug should be removed and checkedin accordance with the periodic mainte-nance and lubrication chart. In addition,the condition of the spark plug can re-veal the condition of the engine.

To remove the spark plug1. Remove the spark plug cap.

2. Remove the spark plug as shown,with the spark plug wrench includ-ed in the owner’s tool kit.

To check the spark plug1. Check that the porcelain insulator

around the center electrode of thespark plug is a medium-to-light tan(the ideal color when the vehicle isridden normally).

TIPIf the spark plug shows a distinctly dif-ferent color, the engine could be oper-ating improperly. Do not attempt todiagnose such problems yourself. In-stead, have a Yamaha dealer checkthe vehicle.

2. Check the spark plug for electrodeerosion and excessive carbon orother deposits, and replace it if

necessary.

3. Measure the spark plug gap with awire thickness gauge and, if nec-essary, adjust the gap to specifica-tion.

To install the spark plug1. Clean the surface of the spark plug

gasket and its mating surface, andthen wipe off any grime from thespark plug threads.

Tire informationThis motorcycle is equipped with tubetires.Tires age, even if they have not beenused or have only been used occasion-ally. Cracking of the tread and sidewallrubber, sometimes accompanied bycarcass deformation, is an evidence ofageing. Old and aged tires shall bechecked by tire specialists to ascertaintheir suitability for further use.

WARNINGEWA10462

The front and rear tires should be ofthe same make and design, other-wise the handling characteristics ofthe vehicle may be different, whichcould lead to an accident.

After extensive tests, only the tires list-ed below have been approved for thismodel by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.

WARNINGEWA10572

Have a Yamaha dealer replaceexcessively worn tires. Besidesbeing illegal, operating the mo-torcycle with excessively worntires decreases riding stabilityand can lead to loss of control.

The replacement of all wheel-and brake-related parts, includ-ing the tires, should be left to aYamaha dealer, who has thenecessary professional knowl-edge and experience.

It is not recommended to patcha punctured tube. If unavoid-able, however, patch the tubevery carefully and replace it assoon as possible with a

high-quality product. Ride at moderate speeds after

changing a tire since the tiresurface must first be “brokenin” for it to develop its optimalcharacteristics.

TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha motorcycles receivea thorough inspection before shipmentfrom the factory, trouble may occur dur-ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,compression, or ignition systems, forexample, can cause poor starting andloss of power.The following troubleshooting chartrepresents a quick and easy procedurefor checking these vital systems your-self. However, should your motorcyclerequire any repair, take it to a Yamahadealer, whose skilled technicians havethe necessary tools, experience, andknow-how to service the motorcycleproperly.Use only genuine Yamaha replace-ment parts. Imitation parts may look likeYamaha parts, but they are often inferi-or, have a shorter service life and canlead to expensive repair bills.

WARNINGEWA15142

When checking the fuel system, donot smoke, and make sure there areno open flames or sparks in the ar-ea, including pilot lights from water

heaters or furnaces. Gasoline orgasoline vapors can ignite or ex-plode, causing severe injury orproperty damage.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGEEAU37834

Matte color caution

NOTICEECA15193

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.

EAU26005

CareWhile 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 your mo-torcycle 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

NOTICEECA10773

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.) andthe mufflers. Use only a soft,clean cloth or sponge with wa-ter to clean plastic. However, ifthe plastic parts cannot be thor-oughly cleaned with water, di-luted mild detergent with watermay be used. Be sure to rinse

off any detergent residue usingplenty of water, as it is harmfulto plastic parts.

Do not use any harsh chemicalproducts on plastic parts. Besure to avoid using cloths orsponges which have been incontact 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 isscratched, 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, near the sea oron salt-sprayed roadsSince sea salt or salt sprayed on roadsduring winter are extremely corrosive incombination with water, carry out thefollowing steps after each ride in therain, near the sea or on salt-sprayedroads.

TIPSalt sprayed on roads in the winter may

remain well into spring.

1. Clean the motorcycle with cold wa-ter and a mild detergent, after theengine has cooled down.NOTICE: Do not use warm watersince it increases the corrosiveaction of the salt.[ECA10792]

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 stain-less-steel parts, including the ex-haust system. (Even the thermallyinduced discoloring of stain-less-steel exhaust systems can beremoved through polishing.)

4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-mended to apply a corrosion pro-tection spray on all metal,

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.

WARNINGEWA11132

Contaminants on the brakes or tirescan cause loss of control. Make sure that there is no oil or

wax on the brakes or tires. If necessary, clean the brake

discs and brake linings with aregular brake disc cleaner or ac-etone, and wash the tires withwarm water and a mild deter-gent. Before riding at higherspeeds, test the motorcycle’sbraking performance and cor-nering behavior.

NOTICEECA10801

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, buttreat them with a suitable careproduct.

Avoid using abrasive polishingcompounds as they will wearaway the paint.

TIP Consult a Yamaha dealer for ad-

vice on what products to use. Washing, rainy weather or humid

climates can cause the headlightlens to fog. Turning the headlighton for a short period of time willhelp remove the moisture from thelens.

EAU43203

Storage

Short-termAlways store your motorcycle in a cool,dry place and, if necessary, protect itagainst dust with a porous cover. Besure the engine and the exhaust sys-tem are cool before covering the motor-cycle.

NOTICEECA10811

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

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

Long-termBefore storing your motorcycle for sev-eral months:

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

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

into the spark plug bore.c. Install the spark plug cap onto

the spark plug, and then placethe spark plug on the cylinderhead so that the electrodes aregrounded. (This will limit spark-ing during the next step.)

d. Turn the engine over severaltimes with the starter. (This willcoat the cylinder wall with oil.)

e. Remove the spark plug capfrom the spark plug, and theninstall the spark plug and thespark plug cap. WARNING! Toprevent damage or injuryfrom sparking, make sure toground the spark plug elec-trodes while turning the en-gine over.[EWA10952]

4. Lubricate all control cables and thepivoting points of all levers andpedals as well as of the sidestand/centerstand.

5. Check and, if necessary, correctthe tire air pressure, and then liftthe motorcycle so that both of itswheels are off the ground. Alterna-tively, turn the wheels a little everymonth in order to prevent the tiresfrom becoming degraded in onespot.

6. Cover the muffler outlet with aplastic bag to prevent moisturefrom entering it.

7. Remove the battery and fullycharge it. Store it in a cool, dryplace and charge it once a month.Do not store the battery in an ex-cessively cold or warm place [lessthan 0 C (30 F) or more than 30C (90 F)]. For more informationon storing the battery, see page6-28.
