7 U3D9E2E0.book Page 1 Thursday, November 6, 2008 10:54 AM À SAFETY INFORMATION EAU10283 Be a Responsible Owner As the vehicle’s owner, you are respon- sible for the safe and proper operation of your motorcycle. Motorcycles are single-track vehicles. Their safe use and operation are de- pendent 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: e Obtain thorough instructions from a competent source on all aspects of motorcycle operation. e Observe the warnings and mainte- nance requirements in this Own- ers Manual. e Obtain qualified training in safe and proper riding techniques. e Obtain professional technical ser- vice as indicated in this Owners Manual and/or when made neces- sary by mechanical conditions. Safe Riding Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage. See page 4-1 for a list of pre-operation checks. e This motorcycle is designed to car- ry the operator and a passenger. e The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traf- fic 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 in- tersections are the most likely places for motorcycle accidents to occur. 1-1 + Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist's blind spot. e Many accidents involve inexperi- enced operators. In fact, many op- erators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a cur- rent motorcycle license. + Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your motorcycle to other qualified op- erators. + Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident. + We recommend that you prac- tice riding your motorcycle where there is no traffic until you have become thoroughly famil- iar with the motorcycle and all of its controls. e Many accidents have been caused by error of the motorcycle opera- tor. À typical error made by the op- erator is veering wide on a turn

7 U3D9E2E0.book Page 2 Thursday, November 6, 2008 10:54 AM À SAFETY INFORMATION due to excessive speed or under- cornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed). + Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warrant- ed 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 handiebar and both feet on the operator foot- rests during operation to main- tain 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. e This motorcycle is designed for on- road use only. It is not suitable for off-road use. Protective apparel The majority of fatalities from motor- cycle accidents are the result of head injuries. The use of a safety helmet is the single most critical factor in the pre- vention or reduction of head injuries. © Always wear an approved helmet. e Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vision that could delay seeing a hazard. e The use of a jacket, heavy boots, trousers, gloves, etc. is effective in preventing or reducing abrasions or lacerations. e Never wear loosefitting clothes, otherwise they could catch on the control levers, footrests, or wheels and cause injury or an accident. e Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet. The engine or exhaust sys- tem become very hot during or af- ter operation and can cause burns. 1-2

e A passenger should also observe the above precautions. Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car- bon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu- sion, and eventually death. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor- less, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poison- ing, leave the area immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT- MENT. e Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rap- idly reach dangerous levels.

7 U3D9E2E0.book Page 3 Thursday, November 6, 2008 10:54 AM À SAFETY INFORMATION e Do not run engine in poorly venti- lated or partially enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or car- ports. Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through openings such as windows and doors. Loading Adding accessories or cargo to your motorcycle can adversely affect stabili- ty and handling if the weight distribution of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, use ex- treme caution when adding cargo or accessories to your motorcycle. Use extra care when riding a motorcycle that has added cargo or accessories. Here, along with the information about accessories below, are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo to your motorcycle: The total weight of the operator, pas- senger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit. Operation of an overloaded vehicle could cause an accident. Maximum load: 196 kg (432 Ib) When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind: e Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the motorcycle as possible. Se- curely pack your heaviest items as close to the center of the vehicle as possible and make sure to distrib- ute the weight as evenly as possi- ble on both sides of the motorcycle to minimize imbalance or instabili- ty. e Shifting weights can create a sud- den imbalance. Make sure that ac- cessories and cargo are securely attached to the motorcycle before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequenily. + Properly adjust the suspension for your load (suspension-ad- justable models only), and check the condition and pres- sure of your tires. + Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebar, front fork, or front fender. These 1-3

items, including such cargo as sleeping bags, duffel bags, or tents, can create unstable han- dling or a slow steering re- sponse. e This vehicle is not designed to pull a trailer or to be attached to a sidecar. Genuine Yamaha Accessories Choosing accessories for your vehicle is an important decision. Genuine Yamaha accessories, which are avail- able only from a Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested, and approved by Yamaha for use on your vehicle. Many companies with no connection to Yamaha manufacture parts and acces- sories or offer other modifications for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a position to test the products that these aftermarket companies produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neither en- dorse nor recommend the use of ac- cessories not sold by Yamaha or modifications not specifically recom- mended by Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a Yamaha dealer.

7 U3D9E2E0.book Page 4 Thursday, November 6, 2008 10:54 AM À SAFETY INFORMATION Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and Modifications While you may find aftermarket prod- ucts similar in design and quality to genuine Yamaha accessories, recog- nize that some aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable be- cause of potential safety hazards to you or others. Installing aftermarket prod- ucts or having other modifications per- formed to your vehicle that change any of the vehicle’s design or operation characteristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible for injuries related to changes in the vehicle. Keep the following guidelines in mind, as well as those provided under “Load- ing” when mounting accessories. e Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the perfor- mance of your motorcycle. Care- fully 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 ob- soure lights or reflectors. + Accessories fitted to the handle- bar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper weight distribution or aerody- namic 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. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the motorcycle due to aerody- namic effects. Wind may at- tempt to lift the motorcycle, or the motorcycle may become un- stable in cross winds. These ac- cessories may also cause instability when passing or being passed by large vehicles. Certain accessories can dis- place the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the free- dom of movement of the opera-

tor and may limit control ability, therefore, such accessories are not recommended. e Use caution when adding electri- cal accessories. If electrical acces- sories exceed the capacity of the motorcycle’s electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power. Aftermarket Tires and Rims The tires and rims that came with your motorcycle were designed to match the performance capabilities and to provide the best combination of handling, brak- ing, and comfort. Other tires, rims, siz- es, and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to page 6-13 for tire specifications and more information on replacing your tires.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

Eauresso Engine break-in There is never a more important period in the life of your engine than the period between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For this reason, you should read the follow- ing material carefully. Since the engine is brand new, do not put an excessive load on it for the first 1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in the engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances. During this period, prolonged full-throt- île operation or any condition that might result in engine overheating must be avoided. EAUS7252 0-500 km (0-300 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 6000 r/min. After every hour of operation, stop the engine, and then let it cool for five to ten minutes. Vary the engine speed from time to time. Do not operate the engine at one set throttle position. 500-1000 km (300-600 mi) Avoid prolonged operation above 7500 r/min. Rev the engine freely through the gears, but do not use full throtile at any time. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation, the engine oil must be changed. caro 1000 km (600 mi) and beyond The vehicle can now be operated nor- mally. Ecaroso NOTICE e Keep the engine speed out of the tachometer red zone. e If any engine trouble should oc- cur during the engine break-in period, immediately have a Yamaha dealer check the vehi- cle. 5-3 EAU7213 Parking When parking, stop the engine, and then remove the key from the main switch. À WARNING e Since the engine and exhaust system can become very hot, park in a place where pedestri- ans or children are not likely to touch them and be burned. e Do not park on a slope or on soft ground, otherwise the vehicle may overturn, increasing the risk of a fuel leak and fire. e Do not park near grass or other flammable materials which might catch fire.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

EAUT7241 Periodic inspection, adjustment, and lu- brication will keep your vehicle in the safest and most efficient condition pos- sible. Safety is an obligation of the vehi- cle owner/operator. The most important points of vehicle inspection, adjust- ment, and lubrication are explained on the following pages. The intervals given in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart should be simply considered as a gen- eral guide under normal riding condi- tions. However, depending on the weather, terrain, geographical location, and individual use, the maintenance in- tervals may need to be shortened. À WARNING Failure to properly maintain the ve- hicle or performing maintenance ac- tivities incorrectly may increase your risk of injury or death during service or while using the vehicle. If you are not familiar with vehicle ser- vice, have a Yamaha dealer perform service. Ewarsi2 Turn off the engine when performing maintenance unless otherwise specified. e A running engine has moving parts that can catch on body parts or clothing and electrical parts that can cause shocks or fires. e Running the engine while ser- vicing can lead to eye injury, burns, fire, or carbon monoxide poisoning — possibly leading to death. See page 1-1 for more in- formation about carbon monox- ide. 6-1 EAUTra4 Owner’s tool kit The owners tool kit is located behind panel B. (See page 6-6.) The service information included in this manual and the tools provided in the owners tool kit are intended to assist you in the performance of preventive maintenance and minor repairs. How- ever, additional tools such as a torque wrench may be necessary to perform certain maintenance work correctly. TIP If you do not have the tools or experi- ence required for a particular job, have a Yamaha dealer perform it for you.

If a brake shoe has worn to the point that the wear indicator reaches the wear limit mark, have a Yamaha dealer replace the brake shoes as a set. EAUS70 Checking the front brake fluid level

1. Minimum level mark

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter the brake system, possibly caus- ing it to become ineffective. Before riding, check that the brake fluid is above the minimum level mark and replenish if necessary. A low brake fluid level may indicate worn brake pads and/or brake system leakage. If the brake fluid level is low, be sure to check the brake pads for wear and the brake system for leakage. Observe these precautions:

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

e When checking the fluid level, make sure that the top of the mas- ter cylinder is level by turning the handliebars. e Use only the recommended quality brake fluid, otherwise the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leakage and poor braking perfor- mance. Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4 TIP If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can be used. e Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction and lead to poor braking performance. e Be careful that water does not en- ter the master cylinder when refill- ing. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor lock. e Brake fluid may deteriorate paint- ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al- ways clean up spiled fluid immediately. e As the brake pads wear, it is nor- mal for the brake fluid level to grad- ually go down. However, if the brake fluid level goes down sud- denly, have a Yamaha dealer check the cause. 6-19 EAuzz721 Changing the brake fluid Have a Yamaha dealer change the brake fluid at the intervals specified in the TIP after the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.

EWa1oGso EAuzsest Troubleshooting Although Yamaha motorcycles receive a thorough inspection before shipment from the factory, trouble may occur dur- ing operation. Any problem in the fuel, compression, or ignition systems, for example, can cause poor starting and loss of power. The following troubleshooting chart represents a quick and easy procedure for checking these vital systems your- self. However, should your motorcycle require any repair, take it to a Yamaha dealer, whose skilled technicians have the necessary tools, experience, and know-how to service the motorcycle properly. Use only genuine Yamaha replace- ment parts. Imitation parts may look like Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi- or, have a shorter service life and can lead to expensive repair bills. À WARNING When checking the fuel system, do not smoke, and make sure there are no open flames or sparks in the ar- ea, including pilot lights from water Easter 6-35 heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or gasoline vapors can ignite or ex- plode, causing severe injury or property damage.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

Matte color caution ECaïst92 NOTICE Some models are equipped with matte colored finished parts. Be sure to consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on what products to use be- fore cleaning the vehicle. Using a brush, harsh chemical products or cleaning compounds when cleaning these parts will scratch or damage their surface. Wax also should not be applied to any matte colored fin- ished parts. EAU26004 Care While the open design of a motorcycle reveals the attractiveness of the tech- nology, it also makes it more vulnera- ble. Rust and corrosion can develop even if high-quality components are used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go un- noticed on a car, however, it detracts from the overall appearance of a motor- cycle. Frequent and proper care does not only comply with the terms of the warranty, but it will also keep your motorcycle looking good, extend its life and optimize its performance. Before cleaning

1. Cover the muffler outlet with a

plastic bag after the engine has cooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and covers

as well as all electrical couplers and connectors, including the spark plug cap, are tighily in- stalled.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,

like oil burnt onto the crankcase, with a degreasing agent and a brush, but never apply such prod-

ucts onto seals, gaskets, sprock- ets, the drive chain and wheel axles. Always rinse the dirt and de- greaser off with water. Cleaning Eca1o772 NOTICE e Avoid using strong a wheel cleaners, especially on spoked wheels. If such products are used on hard-to-remove dirt, do not leave the cleaner on the af- fected area any longer than in- structed. Also, thoroughly rinse the area off with water, immedi- ately dry it, and then apply a cor- rosion protection spray. e Improper cleaning can damage plastic parts (such as cowlings, panels, windshields, headlight lenses, meter lenses, etc.) and the mufflers. Use only a soft, clean cloth or sponge with wa- ter to clean plastic. However, if the plastic parts cannot be thor- oughly cleaned with water, di- luted mild detergent with water may be used. Be sure to rinse

77 U3D9E2E0.book Page 2 Thursday, November 6, 2008 10:54 AM

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

off any detergent residue using plenty of water, as it is harmful to plastic parts. Do not use any harsh chemical products on plastic parts. Be sure to avoid using cloths or sponges which have been in contact with strong or abrasive cleaning products, solvent or 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 since they cause water seepage and deterioration in the following ar- eas: seals (of wheel and swing- arm bearings, fork and brakes), electric components (couplers, connectors, instruments, switches and lights), breather hoses and vents. For motorcycles equipped with a windshield: Do not use strong cleaners or hard sponges as they will cause dulling or scratching. Some cleaning com- pounds for plastic may leave scratches on the windshield. Test the product on a small hid- den part of the windshield to make sure that it does not leave any marks. If the windshield is scratched, use a quality plastic polishing compound after washing. After normal use Remove dirt with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft, clean sponge, and then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush for hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt and insects will come off more easily if the area is covered with a wet cloth for a few minutes before cleaning. After riding in the rain, near the sea or on salt-sprayed roads Since sea salt or salt sprayed on roads during winter are extremely corrosive in combination with water, carry out the following steps after each ride in the rain, near the sea or on salt-sprayed roads. 7-2 TIP Salt sprayed on roadbs in the winter may remain well into spring.

1. Clean the motorcycle with cold wa-

ter and a mild detergent, after the engine has cooled down. NOTICE: Do not use warm water since it increases the corrosive action of the salt. tecaioron

2. Apply a corrosion protection spray

on all metal, including chrome- and nickel-plated, surfaces to prevent corrosion. After cleaning

1. Drythe motorcycle with a chamois

or an absorbing cloth.

2. Immediately dry the drive chain

and lubricate it to prevent it from rusting.

3. Use a chrome polish to shine

chrome, aluminum and stainless- steel parts, including the exhaust system. (Even the thermally in- duced discoloring of stainless- steel exhaust systems can be re- moved through polishing.)

4. Lubricate all control cables and the

pivoting points of all levers and pedals as well as of the side- stand/centerstand. TIP Make any necessary repairs before storing the motorcycle.

5. Check and, if necessary, correct

the tire air pressure, and then lift the motorcycle so that both of its wheels are off the ground. Alterna- tively, turn the wheels a little every month in order to prevent the tires from becoming degraded in one spot.

6. Cover the muffler outlet with a

plastic bag to prevent moisture from entering it.

7. Remove the battery and fully

charge it. Store it in a cool, dry place and charge it once a month. Do not store the battery in an ex- cessively cold or warm place [less than 0 °C (30 °F) or more than 30 °C (90 ‘F)]. For more information on storing the battery, see page 6-26.
