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 from

a 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 to

carry 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

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.

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.


Safety information

2-3

2

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 if

you 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 weight

should be kept as low and close tothe motorcycle as possible. Se-curely pack your heaviest items as

close 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, ortents, 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 aftermarket

products 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 carry

cargo 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 or

front 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 theoperator 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. Refer to page7-19 for tire specifications and more in-formation on replacing your tires.

Transporting the Motorcycle

Be sure to observe following instruc-tions before transporting the motorcy-cle in another vehicle. Remove all loose items from the

motorcycle. Check that the fuel cock (if

equipped) is in the “OFF” positionand that there are no fuel leaks.

Point the front wheel straightahead on the trailer or in the truckbed, and choke it in a rail to pre-vent movement.

Shift the transmission in gear (formodels with a manual transmis-sion).

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.

The ABS performs best with

long braking distances.

On certain surfaces, such as

rough or gravel roads, the brak-

ing distance may be longer with

the ABS than without.

How to operate the brakes

Operate the brake lever and brakepedal the same as you would conven-tional brakes. If wheel slip is detectedwhile braking, ABS will activate and apulsating sensation may be felt at thebrake lever or brake pedal. Continue toapply the brakes and let the ABS work.Do not pump the brakes as this will re-duce braking effectiveness.

risk of injury when refueling, follow

these instructions.

1. Before refueling, turn off the en-gine and be sure that no one is sit-ting on the vehicle. Never refuelwhile smoking, or while in the vi-cinity of sparks, open flames, orother sources of ignition such asthe pilot lights of water heatersand clothes dryers.

2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Whenrefueling, be sure to insert thepump nozzle into the fuel tank fillerhole. Stop filling when the fuelreaches the bottom of the fillertube. Because fuel expands whenit heats up, heat from the engine orthe sun can cause fuel to spill outof the fuel tank.

3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-ately. NOTICE: Immediately

wipe off spilled fuel with a clean,

dry, soft cloth, since fuel may

deteriorate painted surfaces or

plastic parts. [ECA10072]

Engine break-inThere is never a more important periodin the life of your engine than the periodbetween 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). Forthis reason, you should read the fol-lowing material carefully.Since the engine is brand new, do notput an excessive load on it for the first1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts inthe engine wear and polish themselvesto the correct operating clearances.During this period, prolonged full-throt-tle operation or any condition thatmight result in engine overheatingmust be avoided.

be changed and the oil filter car-

tridge or element replaced. [ECA10303]

1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)

Avoid prolonged operation above 6000r/min.

1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond

The vehicle can now be operated nor-mally.

NOTICEECA23060

Starting the engineThe ignition circuit cut-off system willenable starting when: the transmission is in the neutral

position or the transmission is in gear, the

sidestand is up, and the clutch le-ver is pulled.

To start the engine1. Turn the main switch on and set

the engine stop switch to the runposition.

2. Confirm the indicator and warninglight(s) come on for a few sec-onds, and then go off. (See page4-2.)

TIP

Do not start the engine if the en-gine trouble warning light remainson.

The oil pressure warning lightshould come on, go off briefly, andthen remain on until the engine isstarted.

The ABS warning light shouldcome on and stay on until the ve-hicle reaches a speed of 10 km/h(6 mi/h).

3. Shift the transmission into theneutral position.

4. Start the engine by pushing thestart switch.

5. Release the start switch when theengine starts, or after 5 seconds.Wait 10 seconds before pressingthe switch again to allow batteryvoltage to restore.

Shifting

Shifting gears lets you control theamount of engine power available forstarting off, accelerating, climbing hills,etc.The gear positions are shown in the il-lustration.

TIP

To shift the transmission into the neu-tral position ( ), press the shift pedaldown repeatedly until it reaches theend of its travel, and then slightly raiseit.

NOTICEECA10261

Even with the transmission in

the neutral position, do not

coast for long periods of time

with the engine off, and do not

tow the motorcycle for long dis-

tances. The transmission is

properly lubricated only when

the engine is running. Inade-

quate lubrication may damage

the transmission.

Always use the clutch while

changing gears to avoid dam-

aging the engine, transmission,

and drive train, which are not

designed to withstand the

shock of forced shifting.

EAU16682

To start out and accelerate

1. Pull the clutch lever to disengagethe clutch.

2. Shift the transmission into firstgear. The neutral indicator lightshould go out.

3. Open the throttle gradually, and atthe same time, release the clutchlever slowly.

4. At the recommended shift pointsshown in the following table, closethe throttle, and at the same time,quickly pull the clutch lever in.

5. Shift the transmission into secondgear. (Make sure not to shift thetransmission into the neutral posi-tion.)

6. Open the throttle part way andgradually release the clutch lever.

7. Follow the same procedure whenshifting to the next higher gear.

TIP

When shifting gears in normal operat-ing conditions, use the recommendedshift points.

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.

NOTICEECA10841

Do not use any tools to remove or in-

stall the spark plug cap, otherwise

the ignition coil coupler may get

damaged. The spark plug cap may

be difficult to remove because the

Why YamalubeYAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHAPart born of the engineers’ passionand belief that engine oil is an impor-tant liquid engine component. We formteams of specialists in the fields of me-chanical engineering, chemistry, elec-tronics and track testing, and havethem develop the engine together withthe oil it will use. Yamalube oils take fulladvantage of the base oil’s qualitiesand blend in the ideal balance of addi-tives to make sure the final oil clearsour performance standards. Thus,Yamalube mineral, semisynthetic andsynthetic oils have their own distinctcharacters and value. Yamaha’s expe-rience gained over many years of re-search and development into oil sincethe 1960’s helps make Yamalube thebest choice for your Yamaha engine.

2. With the vehicle in an upright posi-tion, look at the coolant level in thereservoir.

3. If the coolant is at or below theminimum level mark, remove thecoolant reservoir cap. WARNING!

Remove only the coolant reser-

voir cap. Never attempt to re-

move the radiator cap when the

engine is hot. [EWA15162]

4. Add coolant to the maximum levelmark. NOTICE: If coolant is not

available, use distilled water or

soft tap water instead. Do not

use hard water or salt water

since it is harmful to the engine.

If water has been used instead

of coolant, replace it with cool-

ant as soon as possible, other-

wise the cooling system will not

be protected against frost and

corrosion. If water has been

added to the coolant, have a

Yamaha dealer check the anti-

freeze content of the coolant as

soon as possible, otherwise the

effectiveness of the coolant will

be reduced. [ECA10473]

TiresTires are the only contact between thevehicle and the road. Safety in all con-ditions of riding depends on a relativelysmall area of road contact. Therefore, itis essential to maintain the tires in goodcondition at all times and replace themat the appropriate time with the speci-fied tires.

Tire air pressure

The tire air pressure should bechecked and, if necessary, adjustedbefore each ride.

WARNING

EWA10504

Operation of this vehicle with im-

proper tire pressure may cause se-

vere injury or death from loss of

control.

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

adjusted in accordance with the

riding speed and with the total

weight of rider, passenger, car-

go, and accessories approved

for this model.

WARNING

EWA10512

Never overload your vehicle. Opera-

tion of an overloaded vehicle could

cause an accident.

Tire inspection

The tires must be checked before eachride. If the tire shows crosswise lines(minimum tread depth), if the tire has anail or glass fragments in it, or if thesidewall is cracked, have a Yamahadealer replace the tire immediately.

WARNING

EWA10563

It is dangerous to ride with a

worn-out tire. When a tire tread

begins to show crosswise lines,

have a Yamaha dealer replace

the tire immediately.

The replacement of all wheel

and brake-related parts, includ-

ing the tires, should be left to a

Yamaha dealer, who has the

necessary professional knowl-

edge and experience.

It is not recommended to patch

a punctured tube. If unavoid-

able, however, patch the tube

very carefully and replace it as

soon as possible with a high-

quality product.

Ride at moderate speeds after

changing a tire since the tire

surface must first be “broken

in” for it to develop its optimal

characteristics.

Tire information

This model is equipped with tube tires.

Tires age, even if they have not beenused or have only been used occasion-ally. Cracking of the tread and sidewallrubber, sometimes accompanied bycarcass deformation, is an evidence ofageing. Old and aged tires shall bechecked by tire specialists to ascertaintheir suitability for further use.

WARNING

EWA10462

The front and rear tires should be of

the same make and design, other-

wise the handling characteristics of

the vehicle may be different, which

could lead to an accident.

After extensive tests, only the tires list-ed below have been approved for thismodel by Yamaha.

EAU21945

Spoke wheelsTo maximize the performance, durabil-ity, and safe operation of the vehicle,note the following points. Check each wheel for cracks, de-

formation and other damage. Ifany damage is found, have thewheel inspected by your Yamahadealer. Do not attempt to repair orstraighten a bent or damagedwheel.

Check the spokes for looseness. Ifany loose spokes are found, havethe wheel adjusted by yourYamaha dealer. Improperly tight-ened spokes can cause wheelmisalignment.

EAU84141

StorageAlways store the vehicle in a cool, dryplace. If necessary, protect it againstdust with a porous cover. Be sure theengine and the exhaust system arecool before covering the vehicle. If thevehicle often sits for weeks at a timebetween uses, the use of a quality fuelstabilizer (Fuel Med RX) is recommend-ed after each fill-up.

NOTICEECA21170

Storing the vehicle in a poorly

ventilated room or covering it

with a tarp, while it is still wet,

will allow water and humidity 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 storage

Before storing the vehicle long term (60days or more):



8-4

1. Make all necessary repairs andperform any outstanding mainte-nance.

2. Follow all instructions in the Caresection of this chapter.

3. Fill up the fuel tank, adding fuelstabilizer according to product in-structions. Run the engine for 5minutes to distribute treated fuelthrough the fuel system.

4. For vehicles equipped with a fuelcock: Turn the fuel cock lever tothe off position.

5. For vehicles with a carburetor: Toprevent fuel deposits from build-ing up, drain the fuel in the carbu-retor float chamber into a cleancontainer. Retighten the drain boltand pour the fuel back into the fueltank.

6. Use a quality engine fogging oil(YAMALUBE Stor-Rite EngineFogging Oil) according to productinstructions to protect internal en-gine components from corrosion.If engine fogging oil is not avail-able, perform the following stepsfor each cylinder:

a. Remove the spark plug capand spark plug.

b. Pour a teaspoonful of engineoil into the spark plug bore.

c. Install the spark plug cap ontothe 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.

7. Lubricate all control cables, piv-ots, levers and pedals, as well asthe sidestand and centerstand (ifequipped).

8. Check and correct the tire airpressure, and then lift the vehicleso that all wheels are off theground. Otherwise, turn thewheels a little once a month in or-der to prevent the tires from be-coming degraded in one spot.

9. Cover the muffler outlet with aplastic bag to prevent moisturefrom entering it.

10. Remove the battery and fullycharge it, or attach a maintenancecharger to keep the battery opti-mally charged. NOTICE: Confirm

that the battery and its charger

are compatible. Do not charge a

VRLA battery with a convention-

al charger. [ECA26330]

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 toa 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.

YAMAHA EXTENDED SERVICE (Y.E.S.)

Keep your Yamaha protected even after your limited 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. It provides uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra peace of mind.

Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that’s right foryou: 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 itshows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There are no mileage limitations. Coverage isn’t limited to “moving parts” or the “drivetrain” like many other plans. And Y.E.S. covers manufacturing defects just like the warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamahadealer 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 $250 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 yousell 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. They can show you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha Extended Service.

We urge you to act now. You’ll get the excellent benefits of TRIP coverage right away, and you’ll rest easy knowing you’ll have strong factory-backed protection even after your Yamaha Limited Warranty expires.
