Be a Responsible Owner

As 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 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.

Safe Riding

Perform the pre-operation checks each

time 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 detectand 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 another

motorist’s blind spot.

�

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 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 andnever 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 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 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 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 cause burns.

�

A passenger should also observethe above precautions.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

All engine exhaust contains carbon

monoxide, 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 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 poison-ing, 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 where

engine exhaust can be drawn intoa building through openings suchas windows and doors.

Loading

Adding 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 weightshould 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 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, 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 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 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 Modifications

While 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 carrycargo that would impair the perfor-mance of your motorcycle. Care-fully inspect the accessory beforeusing 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 can

create 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 the

motorcycle’s electrical system, anelectric failure could result, whichcould cause a dangerous loss oflights or engine power.

Aftermarket Tires and Rims

The 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 6-18 for tirespecifications and more information onreplacing your tires.

Checking the spark plugs

The spark plugs are important enginecomponents, which should be checkedperiodically, preferably by a Yamahadealer. Since heat and deposits willcause any spark plug to slowly erode,they should be removed and checkedin accordance with the periodic mainte-nance and lubrication chart. In addition,the condition of the spark plugs can re-veal the condition of the engine.The porcelain insulator around the cen-ter electrode of each spark plug shouldbe a medium-to-light tan (the ideal colorwhen the vehicle is ridden normally),and all spark plugs installed in the en-gine should have the same color. If anyspark plug shows a distinctly differentcolor, the engine could be operating im-properly. Do not attempt to diagnosesuch problems yourself. Instead, havea Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.If a spark plug shows signs of electrodeerosion and excessive carbon or otherdeposits, it should be replaced.

Before installing a spark plug, the sparkplug gap should be measured with awire thickness gauge and replaced ifout of specification.

Clean the surface of the spark pluggasket and its mating surface, and thenwipe off any grime from the spark plugthreads.

fied torque as soon as possible.

NOTICE

ECA10840

Do not use any tools to remove or in-stall the spark plug cap, otherwisethe ignition coil coupler may getdamaged. The spark plug cap maybe difficult to remove because therubber seal on the end of the cap fitstightly. To remove the spark plugcap, simply twist it back and forthwhile pulling it out; to install it, twist

it back and forth while pushing it in.

Engine oil and oil filter cartridge

The engine oil level should be checkedbefore each ride. In addition, the oilmust be changed and the oil filter car-tridge replaced at the intervals speci-fied in the periodic maintenance andlubrication chart.

To check the engine oil level

1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-face and hold it in an upright posi-tion. A slight tilt to the side canresult in a false reading.

2. Start the engine, warm it up forseveral minutes, and then turn itoff.

3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-tles, and then check the oil levelthrough the check window locatedat the bottom-right side of thecrankcase.

TIP

The engine oil should be between the

minimum and maximum level marks.

4. If the engine oil is below the mini-mum level mark, add sufficient oilof the recommended type to raiseit to the correct level.

To change the engine oil (with or without oil filter cartridge replace-ment)

1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-face.

2. Start the engine, warm it up forseveral minutes, and then turn itoff.

3. Place an oil pan under the engineto collect the used oil.

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 fluidis above the minimum level mark andreplenish if necessary. A low brake fluidlevel may indicate worn brake padsand/or brake system leakage. If thebrake fluid level is low, be sure to checkthe brake pads for wear and the brakesystem for leakage.

TIP

The rear brake fluid reservoir is locatedunder the passenger seat. (See

page 3-22.)

Observe these precautions:

�

When checking the fluid level,make sure that the top of the brakefluid reservoir is level.

�

Use only the recommended qualitybrake fluid, otherwise the rubberseals may deteriorate, causingleakage and poor braking perfor-mance.

�

Refill with the same type of brake

fluid. Mixing fluids may result in aharmful chemical reaction andlead to poor braking performance.

�

Be careful that water or dust doesnot enter the brake fluid reservoirwhen refilling. Water will signifi-cantly lower the boiling point of thefluid and may result in vapor lock,and dirt may clog the ABS hydrau-lic unit valves.

�

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

�

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

Troubleshooting

Although 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 chartsrepresent quick and easy proceduresfor 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.

WARNING

EWA15141

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 or

property damage.

Matte color caution

NOTICE

ECA15192

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.

EAU46410

Care

While 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 cleaning

1. Cover the muffler outlets with aplastic bag after the engine hascooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and coversas well as all electrical couplersand connectors, including thespark plug caps, 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 and wheelaxles. Always rinse the dirt and de-greaser off with water.

Cleaning

NOTICE

ECA10772

�

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 rinseoff any detergent residue using

plenty 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 after

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, 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.

TIP

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 theengine has cooled down.

NOTICE:

Do not use warm watersince it increases the corrosiveaction of the salt.

[ECA10791]

2. After drying the motorcycle, apply

a corrosion protection spray on allmetal, including chrome- and nick-el-plated, surfaces (except the tita-nium mufflers) to preventcorrosion.

Cleaning the titanium mufflersThis model is equipped with titaniummufflers, which require the followingspecial care.

�

Use only a soft, clean cloth orsponge with mild detergent andwater to clean the titanium muf-flers. However, if the mufflers can-not be thoroughly cleaned withmild detergent, alkaline productsand a soft brush may be used.

�

Never use compounds or otherspecial treatments to clean the tita-nium mufflers, as they will remove
