WARNING
@

Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer re-
garding any control or function
that you do not thoroughly
understand.

ate it in a closed area for any

sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.

sidestand is not raised com-
pletely, it could contact the
ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss
of control.
