To close a helmet holder
Place the helmet holder in the original
position, and then remove the key.
EWA00015
WARNING
@ Never ride with a helmet attached to
a helmet holder, since the helmet
may hit objects, causing loss of
control and possibly an accident. @

EWA00021*
WARNING
@ Improper loading or overloading
can cause loss of control and possi-
bly an accident or personal injury.
See page 7-21 for important loading
and tire pressure information.l
Always securely close the side
cases and travel trunk before
riding.
l
Distribute weight evenly on
each side of the motorcycle.
l
Do not exceed the load limit of
9 kg for each side case and the
travel trunk.
l
Do not exceed the maximum
load of 190 kg for the vehicle.
l
Do not exceed 120 km/h when
riding with the travel trunk, side
cases or both installed, other-
wise handling could be affect-
ed. Improper loading, poor tire
or overall motorcycle condi-
tions, poor road surfaces or ad-
verse weather conditions may
make it necessary to further re-
duce the riding speed.

Adjusting the front fork This front fork is equipped with air
valves for adjusting the spring rate.
EW000035
WARNING
_ Always adjust both fork legs equal-
ly, otherwise poor handling and loss
of stability may result. _Adjust the spring rate as follows.
1. Place the motorcycle on the side-
stand.NOTE:_ When checking and adjusting the air
pressure, there should be no weight on
the motorcycle. _
2. Remove the air valve cap from
each fork leg.
3. Check the air pressure in each
fork leg with the air pressure
gauge included in the owner’s tool
kit.
4. To increase the spring rate and
thereby harden the suspension,
increase the air pressure with an
air pump. To decrease the spring
rate and thereby soften the sus-
pension, decrease the air pres-
sure by pushing each valve stem
down.
EC000012
CAUTION:_ Never exceed the maximum air pres-
sure, otherwise the front fork oil
seals may become damaged. _5. Securely install the air valve caps.

Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with an air valve for adjusting
the spring rate.
EC000015
CAUTION:_ Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum
or minimum settings. _Adjust the spring rate as follows.
1. Place the motorcycle on the
sidestand.NOTE:_ When checking and adjusting the air
pressure, there should be no weight on
the motorcycle. _
2. Remove the air valve cap.
3. Check the air pressure with the air
pressure gauge included in the
owner’s tool kit.
4. To increase the spring rate and
thereby harden the suspension, in-
crease the air pressure with an air
pump. To decrease the spring rate
and thereby soften the suspen-
sion, decrease the air pressure by
pushing the valve stem down.1. Shock absorber assembly air valve cap

WARNING
_ Tire inflation pressure should be
checked and adjusted when the
temperature of the tire equals the
ambient air temperature. Tire infla-
tion pressure must be adjusted ac-
cording to total weight of cargo,
rider, passenger, and accessories
(cowling, side cases, etc.). _CE-21E
CE-07EEWA00042
WARNING
_ Proper loading of your motorcycle
is important for several characteris-
tics of your motorcycle, such as
handling, braking, performance and
safety. Do not carry loosely packed
items that can shift. Securely pack
your heaviest items close to the
center of the motorcycle, and dis-
tribute the weight evenly from side
to side. Properly adjust the suspen-
sion for your load, and check the
condition and pressure of your tires.
NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR MOTOR-
CYCLE. Make sure the total weight
of the cargo, rider, passenger, and
accessories (cowling, side cases,
etc. if approved for this model) does
not exceed the maximum load of the
motorcycle. Operation of an over-
loaded motorcycle could cause tire
damage, an accident, or even injury. _
Tire inspection
The tires must be checked before each
ride. If the center tread depth reaches
the specified limit, if the tire has a nail
or glass fragments in it, or if the side-
wall is cracked, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the tire immediately.CE-08ENOTE:_ The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always comply
with the local regulations. _

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II”) contain anti-friction additives
which will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, result-
ing in reduced component life and poor engine performance.
