Modifications made to this motorcy-
cle not approved by Yamaha, or the
removal of original equipment, may
render the motorcycle unsafe for use
and may cause severe personal injury.
Modifications may also make your
motorcycle illegal to use.
Loading and accessories
Adding accessories or cargo to your
motorcycle can adversely affect sta-
bility and handling if the weight distri-
bution of the motorcycle is changed.
To avoid the possibility of an acci-
dent, use extreme caution when
adding cargo or accessories to your
motorcycle. Use extra care when
riding a motorcycle that has added
cargo or accessories. Here are some
general guidelines to follow if loading
cargo or adding accessories to your
motorcycle:
Loading
The total weight of the operator, pas-
senger, accessories and cargo must
not exceed the maximum load limit.When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close
to the motorcycle as possible.
Make sure to distribute the
weight as evenly as possible on
both sides of the motorcycle to
minimize imbalance or instability.
Shifting weights can create a
sudden imbalance. Make sure
that accessories and cargo are
securely attached to the
motorcycle before riding. Check
accessory mounts and cargo res-
traints frequently.
Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front fork,
or front fender. These items,
including such cargo as sleeping
bags, duffel bags, or tents, can
create unstable handling or slow
steering response.Accessories
Genuine Yamaha accessories have
been specifically designed for use on
this motorcycle. Since Yamaha can-
not test all other accessories that may
be available, you must personally be
responsible for the proper selection,
installation and use of non-Yamaha
accessories. Use extreme caution
when selecting and installing any
accessories.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under “Loa-
ding” when mounting accessories.
Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the per-
formance of your motorcycle.
Carefully inspect the accessory
before using it to make sure that
it does not in any way reduce
ground clearance or cornering
clearance, limit suspension tra-
vel, steering travel or control ope-
ration, or obscure lights or reflec-
tors.

YAMAHA TZR50 2004 Owners Manual • Accessories fitted to the hand-

• Accessories fitted to the hand-
lebar or the front fork area can
create instability due to impro-
per 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.
• Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability of
the motorcycle due to aerody-
namic effects. Wind may
attempt to lift the motorcycle,
or the motorcycle may become
unstable in cross winds. These
accessories may also cause
instability when passing or
being passed by large vehicles.
• Certain accessories can dis-
place the operator from his or
her normal riding position. This
improper position limits the fre-
edom of movement of the ope-
rator and may limit control abi-
lity, therefore, such
accessories are not recom-
mended.Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical
accessories exceed the capacity
of the motorcycle’s electrical sys-
tem, an electric failure could
result, which could cause a dan-
gerous loss of lights or engine
power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-
BLE:
• Always turn the engine off
when refueling.
• Take care not to spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust
system when refueling.
• Never refuel while smoking or
in the vicinity of an open flame.
Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of
consciousness and death within
a short time. Always operate your
motorcycle in an area that has
adequate ventilation.
Always turn the engine off before
leaving the motorcycle unatten-
ded and remove the key from the
main switch. When parking the
motorcycle, note the following:
• The engine and exhaust sys-
tem may be hot, therefore,
park the motorcycle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch these hot
areas.
• Do not park the motorcycle on
a slope or soft ground, other-
wise it may fall over.
• Do not park the motorcycle
near a flammable source (e.g. a
kerosene heater, or near an
open flame), otherwise it could
catch fire.
When transporting the motorcy-
cle in another vehicle, make sure
that it is kept upright and that the
fuel cock is turned to “ON” or
“RES” (for vacuum type) / “OFF”
(for manual type). If it should lean
over, gasoline may leak out of the
carburetor or fuel tank.

Tires
To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your
motorcycle, note the following points
regarding the specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be chec-
ked and, if necessary, adjusted befo-
re each ride.
EWA10440

WARNING
The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperatu-re of the tires equals the
ambient temperature).
The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with
the riding speed and with the
total weight of rider, cargo, and
accessories approved for this
model.

WARNING
Because loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking,
performance and safety characte-
ristics of your vehicle, you should
keep the following precautions in
mind.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHI-
CLE! Operation of an overloa-
ded vehicle 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 maximum
load for the vehicle.
Do not carry along loosely pac-
ked items, which can shift
during a ride.
Securely pack the heaviest
items close to the center of the
vehicle and distribute the
weight evenly on both sides.
Adjust the suspension and tire
air pressure with regard to the
load.
Check the tire condition and air
pressure before each ride.
Tire air pressure (measured on cold
tires):
Up to 90 kg (198 lb):
Front:
180 kPa (25,6 psi) (1,8 kgf/cm
