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 OWNER’S MAN-

UAL.

●OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING

IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING

TECHNIQUES.

●OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-

NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED

BY THE OWNER’S 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

motorist’s 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

U3D810E0.book Page 1 Wednesday, July 19, 2006 11:14 AM

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-2

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:

U3D810E0.book Page 2 Wednesday, July 19, 2006 11:14 AM

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-3

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

motorcycle’s 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.

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.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

4-1

EAU15591

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 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

Checking the spark plugs

The spark plugs are important engine

components, which are easy to check.

Since heat and deposits will cause any

spark plug to slowly erode, the spark

plugs 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.

3. Remove the spark plug as shown,

with the spark plug wrench includ-

ed in the additional tool kit, which

was handed out separately at the

purchase of the vehicle.

To check the spark plugs

1. Check that the porcelain insulator

around the center electrode on

each spark plug is a medium-to-

light tan (the ideal color when the

vehicle is ridden normally).

2. Check that all spark plugs installed

in the engine have the same color.

NOTE:

If any spark plug shows a distinctly dif-

ferent color, the engine could be oper-

ating improperly. Do not attempt to

diagnose such problems yourself. In-

stead, have a Yamaha dealer check

the vehicle.

3. Check each spark plug for elec-

trode erosion and excessive car-

bon or other deposits, and replace

it if necessary.

To install a spark plug

1. Measure the spark plug gap with a

wire thickness gauge and, if nec-

essary, adjust the gap to specifica-

tion.

2. Clean the surface of the spark plug

gasket and its mating surface, and

then wipe off any grime from the

spark plug threads.

3. Install the spark plug with the

spark plug wrench, and then tight-

en it to the specified torque.

TE:

If a torque wrench is not available when

installing a spark plug, a good estimate

of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn

past finger tight. However, the spark

plug should be tightened to the speci-

fied torque as soon as possible.

4. Install the spark plug cap.

5. Install the spark plug cover by in-

stalling the bolts.

regarding the specified tires.

Tire air pressure

The tire air pressure should be checked

and, if necessary, adjusted before each

ride.

WARNING

EWA10500

●The tire air pressure must be

checked and adjusted on cold

tires (i.e., when the temperature

of the tires equals the ambient

temperature).

●The tire air pressure must be ad-

justed in accordance with the

riding speed and with the total

weight of rider, passenger, car-

go, and accessories approved

for this model.

WARNING

EWA10510

Proper loading of your vehicle is im-

portant for several characteristics of

your vehicle, such as handling,

braking, performance and safety. Do

not carry loosely packed items that

can shift. Securely pack your heavi-

est items close to the center of the

vehicle, and distribute the weight

evenly from side to side. Properly

adjust the suspension for your load,

and check the condition and pres-

sure of your tires. NEVER OVER-

LOAD YOUR VEHICLE. Make sure

that the total weight of the cargo, rid-

er, passenger, and accessories

(cowling, saddlebags, etc. if ap-

proved for this model) does not ex-

ceed the maximum load of the

vehicle. Operation of an overloaded

vehicle could cause tire damage, an

accident, or even injury.

Tire information

This motorcycle is equipped with cast

wheels and tubeless tires.

WARNING

EWA10460

●The front and rear tires should

be of the same make and de-

sign, otherwise the handling

characteristics of the vehicle

cannot be guaranteed.

●After extensive tests, only the

tires listed below have been ap-

proved for this model by

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.

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 or warpage be-

fore each ride. If any damage is

found, have a Yamaha dealer re-

place the wheel. Do not attempt

even the smallest repair to the

wheel. A deformed 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.

●Ride at moderate speeds after

changing a tire since the tire sur-

face must first be “broken in” for it

to develop its optimal characteris-

tics.

WARNING

EWA10630

●After adjusting the brake lever

free play, check the free play

and make sure that the brake is

working properly.

●A soft or spongy feeling in the

brake lever can indicate the

presence of air in the hydraulic

system. If there is air in the hy-

draulic system, have a Yamaha

dealer bleed the system before

operating the motorcycle. Air in

the hydraulic system will dimin-

ish the braking performance,

which may result in loss of con-

trol and an accident.

EAU22270

Adjusting the rear brake light

switch

The rear brake light switch, which is ac-

tivated by the brake pedal, is properly

adjusted when the brake light comes

on just before braking takes effect. If

necessary, adjust the brake light switch

as follows.

Turn the adjusting nut while holding the

rear brake light switch in place. To

make the brake light come on earlier,

turn the adjusting nut in direction (a). To

make the brake light come on later, turn

the adjusting nut in direction (b).

Checking the front and rear

brake pads

The front and rear brake pads must be

checked for wear at the intervals spec-

ified in the periodic maintenance and

lubrication chart.

EAU22430

Front brake pads

Each front brake pad is provided with

wear indicator grooves, which allow

you to check the brake pad wear with-

out having to disassemble the brake.

indicator grooves have almost disap-

peared, have a Yamaha dealer replace

the brake pads as a set.

EAU22500

Rear brake pads

Check each rear brake pad for damage

and measure the lining thickness. If a

brake pad is damaged or if the lining

thickness is less than 0.8 mm (0.03 in),

have a Yamaha dealer replace the

brake pads as a set.

EAU22580

Checking the brake fluid level

Front brake

Rear brake

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to

enter the brake system, possibly caus-

ing it to become ineffective.

Before riding, check that the brake fluid

is above the minimum level mark and

replenish if necessary. A low brake fluid

level may indicate worn brake pads

and/or brake system leakage. If the

brake fluid level is low, be sure to check

the brake pads for wear and the brake

system for leakage.

Observe these precautions:

●When checking the fluid level,

make sure that the top of the brake

fluid reservoir is level.

●Use only the recommended quality

brake fluid, otherwise the rubber

seals may deteriorate, causing

leakage and poor braking perfor-

mance.

●Refill with the same type of brake

fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a

harmful chemical reaction and

lead to poor braking performance.

●Be careful that water does not en-

ter the brake fluid reservoir when

refilling. Water will significantly

lower the boiling point of the fluid

and may result in vapor lock.

●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.

EAU22730

Changing the brake fluid

Have a Yamaha dealer change the

brake fluid at the intervals specified in

the NOTE after the periodic mainte-

nance and lubrication chart. In addition,

have the oil seals of the master cylin-

ders and calipers as well as the brake

hoses replaced at the intervals listed

below or whenever they are damaged

or leaking.

●Oil seals: Replace every two

years.

●Brake hoses: Replace every four

years.

when removing the front and rear

wheel or performing other maintenance

requiring the motorcycle to stand up-

right. Check that the motorcycle is in a

stable and level position before starting

any maintenance. A strong wooden

box can be placed under the engine for

added stability.

To service the front wheel

1. Stabilize the rear of the motorcycle

by using a motorcycle stand or, if

an additional motorcycle stand is

not available, by placing a jack un-

der the frame in front of the rear

wheel.

2. Raise the front wheel off the

ground by using a motorcycle

stand.

To service the rear wheel

Raise the rear wheel off the ground by

using a motorcycle stand or, if a motor-

cycle stand is not available, by placing

a jack either under each side of the

Troubleshooting

Although Yamaha motorcycles receive

a thorough inspection before shipment

from the factory, trouble may occur dur-

ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,

compression, or ignition systems, for

example, can cause poor starting and

loss of power.

The following troubleshooting charts

represent quick and easy procedures

for checking these vital systems your-

self. However, should your motorcycle

require any repair, take it to a Yamaha

dealer, whose skilled technicians have

the necessary tools, experience, and

know-how to service the motorcycle

properly.

Use only genuine Yamaha replace-

ment parts. Imitation parts may look like

Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-

or, have a shorter service life and can

lead to expensive repair bills.

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.

EAU26071

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 outlet with a

plastic bag 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, the drive

belt and wheel axles. Always rinse

the dirt and degreaser off with wa-

ter.

Cleaning

CAUTION:

ECA10770

●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

windshields, cowlings, panels

and other plastic parts. Use only

a soft, clean cloth or sponge

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

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 and chrome-plat-

ed surfaces. Avoid combination

cleaner waxes, many of which

contain abrasives that may mar

the paint or protective finish.

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 motorcycle’s

braking performance and cor-

nering behavior.

CAUTION:

ECA10950

●Apply spray oil and wax spar-

ingly and make sure to wipe off

any excess.

●Never apply oil or wax to the

drive belt.

●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.

EAU26280

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.

U3D810E0.book Page 3 Wednesday, July 19, 2006 11:14 AM

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

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 outlet with a

plastic bag to prevent moisture

from entering it.

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.

Yamaha motorcycle dealer will, free of charge, repair or

replace any part adjudged defective by Yamaha due to

faulty workmanship or material from the factory. Parts used

in warranty repairs will be warranted for the balance of the

product’s warranty period. All parts replaced under

warranty become property of Yamaha Motor Corporation,

U.S.A.

GENERAL EXCLUSIONS from this warranty shall

include any failures caused by:

Competition or racing use.

Installation of parts or accessories that are not

qualitatively equivalent to genuine Yamaha parts.

Abnormal strain, neglect, or abuse.

Lack of proper maintenance.

the appropriate Owner’s Manual, and

Give notice to an authorized Yamaha motorcycle

dealer of any and all apparent defects within ten (10)

days after discovery, and make the machine available

at that time for inspection and repairs at such dealer’s

place of business.

WARRANTY TRANSFER: To transfer the warranty from

the original purchaser to any subsequent purchaser, it is

imperative that the machine be inspected and registered

for warranty by an authorized Yamaha motorcycle dealer.

In order for this warranty to remain in effect, this

inspection and registration must take place within ten

(10) days after transfer. An inspection and registration fee

will be charged for this service.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY:

Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. also warrants to the

ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser of

each Yamaha motorcycle covered by this warranty with a

displacement of 50cc or greater, that the vehicle is

designed, built, and equipped so as to conform at the

time of sale with all U.S. emissions standards applicable

at the time of manufacture and that it is free from defects

in materials and workmanship which would cause it not

to meet these standards within the period listed

immediately below. Failures other than those resulting

from defects in material or workmanship, which arise

WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?

The customer’s 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 Owner’s

Manual instead of having the dealer do them?

Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the

Owner’s 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 Owner’s 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 Owner’s 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. Since

all warranty matters are handled at the dealer level, this person is in the best position to

help you. IF you are still not satisfied and require additional assistance, please write to:

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 for

you: 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 it

shows 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 Yamaha

dealer 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 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.
