THEIR SAFE USE AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS BEFORE RIDING THIS MOTORCYCLE. HE OR SHE SHOULD: G OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS FROM A COMPETENT SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF MOTORCYCLE OPERATION. G OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. G OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING TECHNIQUES. G OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED BY THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND/OR WHEN MADE NECESSARY BY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS. G Safe riding G Always make pre-operation checks. Careful checks may help prevent an accident. G This motorcycle is designed to carry the operator and a passenger. G 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 who did not see the motorcycle. Making yourself conspicuous appears to be very effective in reducing the chance of this type of accident. Therefore: · Wear a brightly colored jacket. · Use extra caution when you are approaching and passing through intersections, since intersections are the most likely places for motorcycle accidents to occur. 1-1 G · Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist's blind spot. Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current motorcycle license. · Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your motorcycle to other qualified operators. · Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident. · 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. Many accidents have been caused by error of the motorcycle operator. A typical error made by the operator is veering wide on a turn SAFETY INFORMATION due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or undercornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed). · Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic conditions. · Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure that other motorists can see you. The posture of the operator and passenger is important for proper control. · The operator should keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the operator footrests during operation to maintain control of the motorcycle. · 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. · Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place both feet on the passenger footrests. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. G This motorcycle is designed for onroad use only. It is not suitable for off-road use. G G G Protective apparel The majority of fatalities from motorcycle 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. G Always wear an approved helmet. G Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vision that could delay seeing a hazard. G The use of a jacket, heavy boots, trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in preventing or reducing abrasions or lacerations. G Never wear loose-fitting clothes, otherwise they could catch on the control levers, footrests, or wheels and cause injury or an accident. G 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. A passenger should also observe the above precautions. 1 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.
