Be a Responsible Owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are re-sponsible for the safe and proper oper-ation of 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 be-fore riding this motorcycle.He or she should:
Obtain thorough instructions froma 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 Riding
Perform the pre-operation checkseach time you use the vehicle to makesure it is in safe operating condition.Failure to inspect or maintain the vehi-cle properly increases the possibility ofan accident or equipment damage.See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operationchecks.
This motorcycle is designed tocarry the operator and a passen-ger.The failure of motorists to detectand recognize motorcycles in traf-fic is the predominating cause ofautomobile/motorcycle accidents.Many accidents have beencaused by an automobile driverwho did not see the motorcycle.Making yourself conspicuous ap-
pears to be very effective in reduc-ing the chance of this type ofaccident.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.Contact an authorized motorcy-cle dealer to inform you on ba-sic motorcycle maintenance.Certain maintenance can onlybe carried out by certified staff.
Safety information

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 qualifiedand that you only lend your mo-torcycle to other qualified oper-ators.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 beencaused by error of the motorcycleoperator. A typical error made bythe operator is veering wide on aturn due to excessive speed or un-dercornering (insufficient lean an-gle for the speed).
Always obey the speed limit andnever travel faster than warrant-ed by road and traffic condi-tions.
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 bothhands 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 Apparel
The 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 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 effectivein preventing or reducing abra-sions or lacerations.Never wear loose-fitting clothes,otherwise they could catch on thecontrol 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 causeburns.A passenger should also observethe above precautions.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbonmonoxide, a deadly gas. Breathingcarbon monoxide can cause head-aches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,confusion, and eventually death.Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-less, tasteless gas which may bepresent even if you do not see or smellany engine exhaust. Deadly levels ofcarbon monoxide can collect rapidlyand you can quickly be overcome andunable to save yourself. Also, deadlylevels of carbon monoxide can lingerfor hours or days in enclosed or poorlyventilated areas. If you experience anysymptoms of carbon monoxide poi-soning, leave the area immediately, getfresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-MENT.
Do not run engine indoors. Even ifyou 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.
Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to yourmotorcycle can adversely affect stabil-ity and handling if the weight distribu-tion of the motorcycle is changed. Toavoid the possibility of an accident, useextreme 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 vehicle
could cause an accident.
When loading within this weight limit,keep the following in mind:
Cargo and accessory weightshould be kept as low and close tothe motorcycle as possible. Se-curely pack your heaviest items asclose to the center of the vehicleas possible and make sure to dis-tribute the weight as evenly aspossible on both sides of the mo-torcycle to minimize imbalance orinstability.Shifting weights can create a sud-den imbalance. Make sure thataccessories and cargo are se-curely attached to the motorcyclebefore riding. Check accessorymounts and cargo restraints fre-quently.
Properly adjust the suspensionfor 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, or

tents, can create unstable han-dling or a slow steering re-sponse.
This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached to
a sidecar.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing 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 connectionto Yamaha manufacture parts and ac-cessories or offer other modificationsfor Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not ina position to test the products thatthese aftermarket 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
Modifications
While you may find aftermarket prod-ucts similar in design and quality togenuine Yamaha accessories, recog-nize that some aftermarket accesso-ries or modifications are not suitablebecause of potential safety hazards toyou or others. Installing aftermarketproducts or having other modificationsperformed to your vehicle that changeany of the vehicle’s design or operationcharacteristics can put you and othersat greater risk of serious injury ordeath. You are responsible for injuriesrelated to 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 carrycargo that would impair the per-formance of your motorcycle.Carefully inspect the accessorybefore using it to make sure that itdoes not in any way reduceground clearance or corneringclearance, limit suspension travel,
steering travel or control opera-tion, or obscure lights or reflec-tors.
Accessories fitted to the han-dlebar or the front fork area cancreate instability due to improp-er 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 becomeunstable in cross winds. Theseaccessories may also cause in-stability when passing or beingpassed by large vehicles.Certain accessories can dis-place the operator from his orher normal riding position. Thisimproper position limits thefreedom of movement of the

operator and may limit controlability, therefore, such accesso-ries are not recommended.
Use caution when adding electri-cal accessories. If electrical ac-cessories exceed the capacity ofthe motorcycle’s electrical sys-tem, an electric failure could re-sult, which could cause adangerous loss of lights or enginepower.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with yourmotorcycle were designed to matchthe performance capabilities and toprovide the best combination of han-dling, braking, and comfort. Othertires, rims, sizes, and combinationsmay not be appropriate. See page 7-17for tire specifications and for informa-tion on servicing and replacing yourtires.
Transporting the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instruc-tions before transporting the motorcy-cle in another vehicle.
Remove all loose items from themotorcycle.Check that the fuel cock (ifequipped) is in the off position andthat there are no fuel leaks.Shift the transmission into gear(for models with a manual trans-mission).Secure the motorcycle with tie-downs or suitable straps that areattached to solid parts of the mo-torcycle, such as the frame or up-per front fork triple clamp (and not,for example, to rubber-mountedhandlebars or turn signals, orparts that could break). Choosethe location for the straps carefullyso the straps will not rub againstpainted 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.
EAUN0213
HelmetsOperating this vehicle without an ap-proved motorcycle helmet increasesyour chances of a severe head injury ordeath in the event of an accident. Themajority of fatalities from motorcycle orscooter accidents are the result ofhead injuries. The use of a safety hel-met is the single most critical factor inthe prevention or reduction of head in-juries.
Always select an approved motorcy-
cle helmet
Pay attention to the following whenchoosing a motorcycle helmet.
The helmet must meet the safetystandard “SNI”.The helmet size must match thesize of the rider’s head.Never subject a helmet to heavyshocks.
Wearing the helmet correctly
Always connect the chin strap. In thecase of an accident, the helmet has amuch less chance of coming off if thechin strap is connected.

Checking the spark plugsThe spark plugs are important enginecomponents, which should bechecked periodically, preferably by aYamaha dealer. Since heat and depos-its will cause any spark plug to slowlyerode, they should be removed andchecked in accordance with the peri-odic maintenance and lubricationchart. In addition, the condition of thespark plugs can reveal the condition ofthe engine.The porcelain insulator around thecenter electrode of each spark plugshould be a medium-to-light tan (theideal color when the vehicle is riddennormally), and all spark plugs installedin the engine should have the samecolor. If any spark plug shows a dis-tinctly different color, the engine couldbe operating improperly. Do not at-tempt to diagnose such problemsyourself. Instead, have a Yamaha deal-er check the vehicle.If a spark plug shows signs of elec-trode erosion and excessive carbon orother deposits, it should be replaced.
Before installing a spark plug, thespark plug gap should be measuredwith a wire thickness gauge and, ifnecessary, adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark pluggasket and its mating surface, andthen wipe off any grime from the sparkplug threads.
TIP
If a torque wrench is not availablewhen installing a spark plug, a goodestimate of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. However, thespark plug should be tightened to thespecified torque as soon as possible.

NOTICEECA15193
Some models are equipped with
matte colored finished parts. Be
sure to consult a Yamaha dealer for
advice on what products to use be-

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 mo-torcycle. Frequent and proper caredoes not only comply with the terms ofthe warranty, but it will also keep yourmotorcycle looking good, extend itslife and optimize its performance.Before cleaning
1. Cover the muffler outlet with aplastic bag after the engine hascooled down.
2. Make sure that all caps and cov-ers as well as all electrical cou-plers and connectors, includingthe spark 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 anddegreaser off with water.
Cleaning
NOTICEECA10773
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.) and
the mufflers. Use only a soft,
clean cloth or sponge with wa-
ter to clean plastic. However, if
the plastic parts cannot be thor-
oughly cleaned with water, di-
luted mild detergent with water
may be used. Be sure to rinse
Motorcycle care and storage
8-2
8
off any detergent residue using
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 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 corrosivecarry out the following steps after eachride in the rain or near the sea.
1. Clean the motorcycle with coldwater and a mild detergent, afterthe engine has cooled down.NOTICE: Do not use warm wa-
ter since it increases the corro-
sive action of the salt. [ECA10792]
2. Apply a corrosion protection sprayon all metal, including chrome-and nickel-plated, surfaces to pre-vent corrosion.
After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamoisor an absorbing cloth.
2. Immediately dry the drive chainand 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.
