1appears to be very effective in re-ducing 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 such smaller vehicleaccidents to occur.

• Ride where other motorists cansee you. Avoid riding in anothermotorist’s blind spot.

• Never maintain a vehicle with-out proper knowledge. Contacta Yamaha dealer to inform youon basic vehicle maintenance.Certain maintenance can onlybe carried out by certified staff.

Many accidents involve inexperi-enced operators. In fact, many op-erators who have been involved inaccidents do not even have a cur-rent driver’s license.• Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend your ve-hicle to other qualified opera-tors.

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 4-1 for a list of pre-operationchecks. This vehicle is designed to carry

the operator and a passenger. The failure of motorists to detect

and recognize scooters and mo-torcycles in traffic is the predomi-nating cause of automobile andsuch smaller vehicle accidents.Many accidents have beencaused by an automobile driverwho did not see the smaller vehi-cle. Making yourself conspicuous



FETY INFORMATION

1Always 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, substantialshoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is ef-fective in preventing or reducingabrasions or lacerations.Never wear loose-fitting clothes,otherwise they could catch on thecontrol levers or wheels and causeinjury 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.

• Know your skills and limits.Staying within your limits mayhelp you to avoid an accident.

• We recommend that you prac-tice riding your vehicle wherethere is no traffic until you havebecome thoroughly familiar withthe vehicle and all of its con-trols.

Many accidents have beencaused by error of the vehicle op-erator. A typical error made by theoperator is veering wide on a turndue to excessive speed or under-cornering (insufficient lean anglefor 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 vehicle.

• 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 vehicle is designed for on-road use only. It is not suitable foroff-road use.

Protective Apparel

The majority of fatalities from scooterand motorcycle accidents are the re-sult of head injuries. The use of a safetyhelmet is the single most critical factorin the prevention or reduction of headinjuries.

Loading

Adding accessories or cargo to yourvehicle can adversely affect stabilityand handling if the weight distributionof the vehicle is changed. To avoid thepossibility of an accident, use extremecaution when adding cargo or acces-sories to your vehicle. Use extra carewhen riding a vehicle that has addedcargo or accessories. Here, along withthe information about accessories be-low, are some general guidelines to fol-low if loading cargo to your vehicle: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 vehicle as possible. Securelypack your heaviest items as closeto the center of the vehicle as pos-

The ABS performs a self-diagno-sis test each time the vehicle firststarts off after the key is turned to“ON” and the vehicle has traveledat a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) orhigher. During this test, a “click-ing” noise can be heard from thefront of the vehicle, and if eitherbrake lever is even slightly ap-plied, a vibration can be felt at thelever, but these do not indicate amalfunction.This ABS has a test mode whichallows the owner to experiencethe pulsation at the brake leverswhen the ABS is operating. How-ever, special tools are required, soplease consult your Yamaha deal-er.

As the unified brake system is me-chanical, additional free play canbe felt in the front brake leverwhen the rear brake lever is beingpulled.The unified brake system does notfunction when the front brake isapplied alone.

EAUU1840

ABSYour leaning multi-wheel vehicle’s ABS(Anti-lock Brake System) features anelectronic control system, which actson each of the front and rear brakes in-dependently.Operate the brakes with ABS as youwould conventional brakes. If the ABSis activated, a pulsating sensation maybe felt at the brake levers. In this situa-tion, continue to apply the brakes andlet the ABS work; do not “pump” thebrakes as this will reduce braking ef-fectiveness.

WARNING

EWA16051

Always keep a sufficient distance

from the vehicle ahead to match the

riding speed even with ABS.

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.

The ABS is monitored by an ECU,which will revert the system to conven-tional braking if a malfunction occurs.

(especially when leaning over to

one side), otherwise the vehicle

may skid or overturn.

Railroad crossings, streetcar

struction sites, and manhole

covers become extremely slip-

pery when wet. Therefore, slow

down when approaching such

areas and cross them with cau-

tion.

Keep in mind that braking on a

The wheel rims should bechecked for cracks, bends, warp-age or other damage before eachride. If any damage is found, havea Yamaha dealer replace thewheel. Do not attempt even thesmallest repair to the wheel. A de-formed or cracked wheel must bereplaced.The front wheels should be bal-anced whenever either the tires orwheels have been changed or re-placed. An unbalanced wheel canresult in poor performance, ad-verse handling characteristics,and a shortened tire life.

Frequent and proper care doesnot only comply with the terms of thewarranty, but it will also keep your ve-hicle looking good, extend its life andoptimize 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.
