wBecause loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking,
performance and safety character-
istics of your scooter, you should
keep the following precautions in
mind.
8NEVER OVERLOAD THE
SCOOTER! Operation of an
overloaded scooter may result
in tire damage, loss of control,
or severe injury. Make sure
that the total weight of rider,
cargo, and accessories does
not exceed the specified maxi-
mum load for the vehicle.
8Do not carry along loosely
packed items, which can shift
during a ride.
8Securely pack the heaviest
items close to the center of the
scooter and distribute the
weight evenly on both sides.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 sidewall is cracked, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the tire imme-
diately.
