ACCESSORIES AND LOADING
Adding accessories or cargo to your machine can adversely affect stability and handling if the weight distribution of the machine
is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, extreme caution should be used if adding cargo or accessories to your
machine.
Use extra care if riding a machine which has added cargo or acessories. Genuine Yamaha accessories have been specifically
designed for use on this machine. Since Yamaha cannot test all other accessories which may be available, you must personally
be responsible for the proper selection, installation and use of non-Yamaha accessories.
You should use extreme caution when selecting and installing any accessories. Keep in mind these guidelines for mounting
accessories in addition to those provided under “LOADING”.
1. Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the performance of your machine. Carefully inspect the accessory
before using it to make sure it does not in any way reduce ground clearance or cornering clearance, limit suspension travel,
steering travel or control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors.
a. Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper weight distribution or aerodynamic
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.
b. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the machine due to aerodynamic effects. Wind may
attempt to lift the machine, or the machine may become unstable in cross winds. These accessories may also cause instability
when being passed by or passing large vehicles.
c. Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the
freedom of movement of the operator and may limit control ability. Therefore such accessories are not recommended.
2. Caution must be used if adding electrical accessories. If these accessories exceed the capacity of the machine’s electrical
system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.

Proper loading of your motorcycle is important for the
handling, braking, and other performance and safety
characteristics of your motorcyle. Do not carry loosely
packed items that can shift. Securely pack your
heaviest items close to the center of the motorcycle,
and distribute the weight evenly from side to side.
Properly adjust the suspension for your load, and
check the condition and pressure of your tires. NEVER
OVERLOAD YOUR MOTORCYCLE. Make sure the total
weight of the cargo, rider, passenger, and accessories
(fairing, saddlebags, etc. if approved for this model)
does not exceed the maximum load of the motorcycle.
Operation of an overloaded motorcycle could cause
tire damage, an accident, or even injury.
2. Tire inspection
Always check the tires before operating the motorcycle.
If a tire tread shows crosswise lines (minimum tread
depth), if the tire has a nail or glass fragments in it, or
if the side wall is cracked, contact a Yamaha dealer or
other qualified mechanic and have the tire replaced.
