IMPORTANT MANUAL INFORMATION

Particularly important information is distinguished in this manual by the following notations:

Q

The Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

wFailure to follow WARNING instructions could result in severe injury or death to the machine operator, a bystander or a person inspecting or repairing the

machine.

NOTE:

8This manual should be considered a permanent part of this machine and should remain with it even if the machine is subsequently sold.

8Yamaha continually seeks advancements in product design and quality. Therefore, while this manual contains the most current product information available at the time of printing, there may be minor discrepancies between your machine and this manual. If you have any questions concerning this manual, please consult your Yamaha dealer.

EAU00009

TABLE OF CONTENTS

1.OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF MACHINE OPERATION.

2.OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNER’S MANUAL.

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 machine is designed for off-road use only, therefore, it is illegal to operate it on public streets, roads, or highways. Off-road use on public lands may be illegal. Please check local regulations before riding.

3.This machine is designed to carry the operator only. No passengers.

4.Many accidents involve inexperienced operators.

a.Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your machine to other qualified operators.

b.Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.

5.Many accidents have been caused by error of the machine operator. A typical error made by the operator is veering wide on a turn due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or undercornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed). Never travel faster than warranted by conditions.

QSAFETY INFORMATION

6.Ride cautiously in unfamiliar areas. You may encounter hidden obstacles that could cause an accident.

7.The posture of the operator is important for proper control. The operator should keep both hands

Protective apparel

The majority of fatalities from machine accidents are the result of head injuries. The use of a safety helmet 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 vision that could delay seeing a hazard.

3.The use of a jacket, heavy boots, trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in preventing or reducing abrasions 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.

QSAFETY INFORMATION

Modifications

Modifications made to this machine not approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment, 1 may render the machine unsafe for use and may cause severe personal injury. Modifications may

also make your machine illegal to use.

Loading and accessories

Adding accessories or cargo to your machine can adversely affect stability and handling if the weight distribution of the machine is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, use extreme caution when adding cargo or accessories to your machine. Use extra care when riding a machine that has added cargo or accessories. Here are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo or adding accessories to your machine:

Loading

The total weight of the operator, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit of 90 kg (198 lb). 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 machine as possible. Make sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the machine to minimize imbalance or instability.

2.Shifting weights can create a sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securely attached to the machine 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, including such cargo as sleeping bags, duffel bags, or tents, can create unstable handling or a slow steering response.

QSAFETY INFORMATION

Accessories

Genuine Yamaha accessories have been specifically designed for use on this machine. Since Yamaha cannot test all other accessories that may be available, you must personally be responsible 1 for the proper selection, installation and use of non-Yamaha accessories. Use extreme caution when selecting and installing any accessories.

Keep these guidelines in mind for mounting accessories in addition to those provided under “Loading”.

1.Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the performance of your machine. Carefully inspect the accessory before using it to make sure that it does not in any way reduce ground clearance or cornering clearance, limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors.

a.Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper weight distribution or aerodynamic changes. If accessories are added to the handlebar or front fork 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 machine due to aerodynamic effects. Wind may attempt to lift the machine, or the machine may become unstable in cross winds.

c.Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper 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 the machine’s electrical system an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.

b.Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust pipe(s)/muffler(s) 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 poisonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your machine in an area that has adequate ventilation.

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

a.The engine and exhaust pipe(s)/muffler(s) may be hot, therefore, park the machine in a place where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.

b.Do not park the machine on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over.

c.Do not park the machine near a flammable source (e.g., a kerosene heater, or near an open flame), otherwise it could catch fire.

4.When transporting the machine in another vehicle, make sure that it is kept upright and that the fuel cock(s) are turned to “ON” or “RES” (for vacuum type)/”OFF” (for manual type). If the machine should lean over, gasoline may leak out of the carburetor or 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 wash the affected area with soap and water and change your clothes.
