WARNINGBecome thoroughly familiarwith all operating controls andtheir functions before riding.Consult a Yamaha dealer re-garding any control or functionthat you do not thoroughlyunderstand.Never start the engine or oper-ate it in a closed area for anylength of time. Exhaust fumesare poisonous, and inhalingthem can cause loss of con-sciousness and death within ashort time. Always make surethat there is adequate ventila-tion.Before starting out, make surethat the sidestand is up. If thesidestand is not raised com-pletely, it could contact theground and distract the opera-tor, resulting in a possible lossof control.

EAU01627

Starting a cold engine In order for the ignition circuit cut-offsystem to enable starting, one of thefollowing conditions must be met:

● The transmission is in the neutralposition.

● The transmission is in gear withthe clutch lever pulled and thesidestand up.

EW000054

● Thoroughly warm up the engine.● Turn the starter (choke) off as

soon as possible.● Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-

gine speeds during acceleration.● Do not rev the engine while shift-

ing down, and avoid high enginespeeds with no load on the engine.

● Turn the engine off instead of let-ting it idle for an extended lengthof time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-fic lights or at railroad crossings).

● Brand-new tires can have a rela-tively poor grip on certain roadsurfaces until they have been“broken in”. Therefore, it is ad-visable before doing any high-speed riding to ride conserva-tively for approximately 100 kmafter installing a new tire.

● The tires must be warmed upbefore a high-speed run.

Wheels To maximize the performance, durabil-ity, and safe operation of your motor-cycle, note the following pointsregarding the specified wheels.

● The wheel rims should be checkedfor cracks, bends or warpage be-fore each ride. If any damage isfound, have a Yamaha dealer re-place the wheel. Do not attempteven the smallest repair to thewheel. A deformed or crackedwheel must be replaced.

● The wheel should be balancedwhenever either the tire or wheelhas been changed or replaced. Anunbalanced wheel can result inpoor performance, adverse han-dling characteristics, and a short-ened tire life.

● Ride at moderate speeds afterchanging a tire since the tire sur-face must first be “broken in” for it todevelop its optimal characteristics.
