1-SAFETY INFORMATION

MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLE TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION AREDEPENDENT UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPERTISEOF THE OPERATOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTSBEFORE RIDING THIS MOTORCYCLE.HE OR SHE SHOULD:1. OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF

MOTORCYCLE OPERATION.2. OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNER’S MANU-

AL.3. OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES.4. OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL

AND/OR WHEN MADE NECESSARY BY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS.

Safe riding

1. Always make pre-operation checks. Careful checks may help prevent an accident.2. This motorcycle is designed to carry the operator and a passenger.3. The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of

automobile/motorcycle accidents. Many accidents have been caused by an automobile driver whodid not see the motorcycle. Making yourself conspicuous appears to be very effective in reducing thechance of this type of accident.

Therefore:a. Wear a brightly colored jacket.b. Use extra caution when you are approaching and passing through intersections, since intersec-

tions are the most likely places for motorcycle accidents to occur.c. Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist’s blind spot.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-2

4. Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved inaccidents do not even have a current motorcycle license.a. Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your motorcycle to other qualified opera-

tors.b. Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.c. We recommend that you practice riding your motorcycle where there is no traffic until you have

become thoroughly familiar with the motorcycle and all of its controls.5. Many accidents have been caused by error of the motorcycle operator. A typical error made by the

operator is veering wide on a turn due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or undercornering (insufficient leanangle for the speed).a. Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic conditions.b. Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure that other motorists can see you.

6. The posture of the operator and passenger is important for proper control.a. The operator should keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the operator footrests

during operation to maintain control of the motorcycle.b. 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.c. Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place both feet on the passenger footrests.

7. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.8. This motorcycle is designed for on-road use only. It is not suitable for off-road use.

Protective apparel

The majority of fatalities from motorcycle accidents are the result of head injuries. The use of a safetyhelmet is the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries.1. Always wear an approved helmet.2. Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vi-

sion that could delay seeing a hazard.3. The use of a jacket, heavy boots, trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in preventing or reducing abra-

sions or lacerations.4. Never wear loose-fitting clothes, otherwise they could catch on the control levers, footrests, or wheels

and cause injury or an accident.5. Never touch the engine or exhaust system during or after operation. They become very hot and can

cause burns. Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet.6. A passenger should also observe the above precautions.

Modifications

Modifications made to this motorcycle not approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment,may render the motorcycle unsafe for use and may cause severe personal injury. Modifications mayalso make your motorcycle illegal to use.

Loading and accessories

Adding accessories or cargo to your motorcycle can adversely affect stability and handling if theweight distribution of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, use extremecaution when adding cargo or accessories to your motorcycle. Use extra care when riding amotorcycle that has added cargo or accessories. Here are some general guidelines to follow if loadingcargo or adding accessories to your motorcycle:

SAFETY INFORMATION

1

1-4

Loading

The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximumload limit of 408 lb (185 kg). When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind:1. 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.

2. Shifting weights can create a sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securelyattached to the motorcycle before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.

3. 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 slowsteering response.

Accessories

Genuine Yamaha accessories have been specifically designed for use on this motorcycle. SinceYamaha cannot test all other accessories that may be available, you must personally be responsiblefor the proper selection, installation and use of non-Yamaha accessories. Use extreme caution whenselecting and installing any accessories.Keep the following guidelines in mind, as well as those provided under “Loading” when mountingaccessories.1. Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the performance of your motorcycle. Care-

fully inspect the accessory before using it to make sure that it does not in any way reduce groundclearance or cornering clearance, limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation, or ob-scure lights or reflectors.

SAFETY INFORMATION

1

1-5

a. Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improperweight distribution or aerodynamic changes. If accessories are added to the handlebar or frontfork area, they must be as lightweight as possible and should be kept to a minimum.

b. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the motorcycle due to aerodynamiceffects. Wind may attempt to lift the motorcycle, or the motorcycle may become unstable in crosswinds. These accessories may also cause instability when passing or being passed by large ve-hicles.

c. Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improp-er position limits the freedom of movement of the operator and may limit control ability, therefore,such accessories are not recommended.

2. Use caution when adding electrical accessories. If electrical accessories exceed the capacity of themotorcycle’s electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss oflights or engine power.

Gasoline and exhaust gas

1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:a. Always turn the engine off when refueling.b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust system when refueling.c. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.

2. 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 yourmotorcycle in an area that has adequate ventilation.

3. Always turn the engine off before leaving the motorcycle unattended and remove the key from themain switch. When parking the motorcycle, note the following:

SAFETY INFORMATION

1

1-6

a. The engine and exhaust system may be hot, therefore, park the motorcycle in a place where pe-destrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.

b. Do not park the motorcycle on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over.c. Do not park the motorcycle near a flammable source (e.g., a kerosene heater, or near an open

flame), otherwise it could catch fire.4. When transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle, make sure that it is kept upright. If the motor-

cycle should lean over, gasoline may leak out of the fuel tank.5. If you should swallow any gasoline, 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 washthe affected area with soap and water and change your clothes.

CAUTION:_

Use only unleaded gasoline. Theuse of leaded gasoline will cause se-vere damage to internal engineparts, such as the valves and pistonrings, as well as to the exhaust sys-tem._

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 researchoctane number of 91 or higher. Ifknocking (or pinging) occurs, use agasoline of a different brand or premi-um unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuelwill extend spark plug life and reducemaintenance costs.

GasoholThere are two types of gasohol: gaso-hol containing ethanol and that contain-ing methanol. Gasohol containingethanol can be used if the ethanol con-tent does not exceed 10%. Gasoholcontaining methanol is not recom-mended by Yamaha because it cancause damage to the fuel system or ve-hicle performance problems.

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 col-or when the motorcycle is ridden nor-mally), and all spark plugs installed inthe engine should have the same color.If any spark plug shows a distinctly dif-ferent color, the engine could be defec-tive. Do not attempt to diagnose suchproblems yourself. Instead, have aYamaha dealer check the motorcycle.

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, if necessary,adjusted to specification.

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

Specified spark plug:DPR7EA-9/NGK orX22EPR-U9/DENSO

Engine oil and oil filter cartridgeThe 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 level1. Place the motorcycle on a level

surface and hold it in an uprightposition.

NOTE:_

Make sure that the motorcycle is posi-tioned straight up when checking the oillevel. A slight tilt to the side can result ina false reading. _

2. Remove the seat. (See page 3-11for seat removal and installationprocedures.)

3. Start the engine, warm it up untilthe engine oil has reached a nor-mal temperature of 140 °F (60 °C),let it continue to idle for ten sec-onds, and then turn the engine off.

NOTE:_

To achieve the proper engine oil tem-perature for an accurate oil level read-ing, the engine must have firstcompletely cooled down, and thenwarmed up again for several minutes tonormal operating temperature. _

4. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-tles, remove the oil filler cap, wipethe dipstick clean, insert it backinto the oil filler hole (withoutscrewing it in), and then remove itagain to check the oil level.

NOTE:_

The engine oil should be between theminimum and maximum level marks. _

WARNING_

This motorcycle is fitted with super-high-speed tires. Note the followingpoints in order to make the most ef-ficient use of these tires.

● Use only the specified replace-ment tires. Other tires may runthe danger of bursting at superhigh speeds.

● 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 60 mi(100 km) after installing a newtire.

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

● Always adjust the tire air pres-sure according to the operatingconditions.

TroubleshootingAlthough 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 chartrepresents a quick and easy procedurefor 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 looklike Yamaha parts, but they are ofteninferior, have a shorter service life andcan lead to expensive repair bills.

7-MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

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 amotorcycle. Frequent and proper caredoes not only comply with the terms ofthe warranty, but it will also keep yourmotorcycle looking good, extend its lifeand optimize its performance.

Before cleaning1. Cover the muffler outlet with a

plastic 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, the drivebelt and wheel axles. Always rinsethe dirt and degreaser off with wa-ter.

CleaningECA00010

CAUTION:_

● 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 acorrosion protection spray.

● Improper cleaning can damagewindshields, cowlings, panelsand other plastic parts. Useonly a soft, clean cloth orsponge with mild detergent andwater to clean plastic.

● 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 or


7-2

7

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 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 cleaningcompounds for plastic mayleave scratches on the wind-shield. Test the product on asmall hidden part of the wind-shield to make sure that it doesnot leave any marks. If the wind-

shield is scratched, use a quali-ty plastic polishing compoundafter 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.

NOTE:_

Salt sprayed on roads in the winter mayremain well into spring. _

1. Clean the motorcycle with coldwater and a mild detergent, afterthe engine has cooled down.

ECA00012

CAUTION:_

Do not use warm water since it in-creases the corrosive action of thesalt. _

2. After drying the motorcycle, applya corrosion protection spray on allmetal, including chrome- and nick-el-plated, surfaces to prevent cor-rosion.


7-3

7

After cleaning1. 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 exhaustsystem. (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 damagecaused by stones, etc.

6. Wax all painted and chrome-plat-ed surfaces. Avoid combinationcleaner waxes, many of whichcontain abrasives that may marthe paint or protective finish.

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

EWA00001

WARNING_

● Make sure that there is no oil orwax on the brakes or tires. Ifnecessary, clean the brakediscs and brake linings with aregular brake disc cleaner or ac-etone, and wash the tires withwarm water and a mild deter-gent.

● Before operating the motor-cycle, test its braking perfor-mance and cornering behavior.

_

ECA00033

CAUTION:_

● Apply spray oil and wax spar-ingly and make sure to wipe offany excess.

● Never apply oil or wax to thedrive belt.

● Never apply oil or wax to anyrubber and plastic parts, buttreat them with a suitable careproduct.

● Avoid using abrasive polishingcompounds as they will wearaway the paint.

_

NOTE:_

Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice onwhat products to use. _

Storage

Short-termAlways store your motorcycle in a cool,dry place and, if necessary, protect itagainst dust with a porous cover.

ECA00014

CAUTION:_

● Storing the motorcycle in apoorly ventilated room or cover-ing it with a tarp, while it is stillwet, will allow water and humid-ity to seep in and cause rust.

● To prevent corrosion, avoiddamp cellars, stables (becauseof the presence of ammonia)and areas where strong chemi-cals are stored.

_

Long-termBefore storing your motorcycle forseveral months:

1. Follow all the instructions in the“Care” section of this chapter.

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 to pro-tect the cylinders, piston rings, etc.from corrosion.

a. Remove the spark plug capsand spark plugs.

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

c. Install the spark plug caps ontothe spark plugs, and then placethe spark plugs 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 walls with oil.)

e. Remove the spark plug capsfrom the spark plugs, and theninstall the spark plugs and thespark plug caps.

EWA00003

WARNING_

To prevent damage or injury fromsparking, make sure to ground thespark plug electrodes while turningthe engine over. _
