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 are

approaching 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

2-2

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 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 and

never 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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.

EAU57610

Further safe-riding pointsBe sure to signal clearly whenmaking turns.Braking can be extremely difficulton a wet road. Avoid hard braking,because the motorcycle couldslide. Apply the brakes slowlywhen stopping on a wet surface.Slow down as you approach acorner or turn. Once you havecompleted a turn, accelerateslowly.Be careful when passing parkedcars. A driver might not see youand open a door in your path.Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,iron plates on road constructionsites, and manhole covers be-come extremely slippery whenwet. Slow down and cross themwith caution. Keep the motorcycleupright, otherwise it could slideout from under you.The brake pads or linings couldget wet when you wash the motor-cycle. After washing the motorcy-cle, check the brakes beforeriding.

Always wear a helmet, gloves,trousers (tapered around the cuffand ankle so they do not flap), anda brightly colored jacket.Do not carry too much luggage onthe motorcycle. An overloadedmotorcycle is unstable. Use astrong cord to secure any luggageto the carrier (if equipped). A looseload will affect the stability of themotorcycle and could divert yourattention from the road. (See page2-3.)

EAUU0033

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 “TIS”.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.

To check the spark plug

1. Check that the porcelain insulatoraround the center electrode of thespark plug is a medium-to-lighttan (the ideal color when the vehi-cle is ridden normally).

TIP

If 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 ifnecessary.

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

To install the spark plug

1. Clean the surface of the sparkplug gasket and its mating sur-face, and then wipe off any grimefrom the spark plug threads.

2. Install the spark plug with thespark plug wrench, and then tight-en it to the specified torque.

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.

Engine overheating

WARNING

EWA10401

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be

blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.

After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then

slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hiss-

ing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.

TIP

If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended cool-ant as soon as possible.

Wait until the engine has cooled.

Check the coolant level in the reservoir and radiator.

The coolant level is OK.

The coolant level is low.Check the cooling systemfor leakage.

Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.

Add coolant. (See TIP.)

Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.

Matte color caution

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-

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.

EAUW0066

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



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 corrosive,carry 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.

8. Let the motorcycle dry completelybefore storing or covering it.

WARNING

EWA11132

Contaminants on the brakes or tires

can 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 a

regular brake disc cleaner or

acetone, 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.

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, but

treat them with a suitable care

product.

Avoid using abrasive polishing

compounds as they will wear

away the paint.

TIP

Consult a Yamaha dealer for ad-vice on what products to use.Washing, rainy weather or humidclimates can cause the headlightlens to fog. Turning the headlighton for a short period of time willhelp remove the moisture from thelens.

EAU43204

Storage

Short-term

Always 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 mo-torcycle.

NOTICEECA10811

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.



8-4

2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuelstabilizer (if available) to preventthe fuel tank from rusting and thefuel from deteriorating.

3. Perform the following steps toprotect the cylinder, piston rings,etc. from corrosion.a. Remove the spark plug cap

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.)WARNING! To prevent dam-

age or injury from sparking,

make sure to ground the

spark plug electrodes while

turning the engine over.

[EWA10952]

e. Remove the spark plug capfrom the spark plug, and theninstall the spark plug and thespark plug cap.

4. Lubricate all control cables andthe pivoting points of all levers andpedals as well as of the side-stand/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 30°C (90 °F)]. For more informationon storing the battery, see page7-30.
