8 8
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or func-
tion that you do not thorough-
ly understand.
8 8
Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
8 8
For safety, always start the
engine with the centerstand
down.
8 8
When the centerstand is down
and the engine is idling, keep
your hands and feet away from
the rear wheel.
