SAFETY INFORMATION
• Certain accessories can dis-place 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 acces-
sories are not recommended.
●Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the motorcycle's electrical sys-
tem, an electric failure could re-
sult, which could cause a danger-
ous 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 ad-
equate ventilation.
●Always turn the engine off before
leaving the motorcycle unattend-
ed 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 motorcycle
in another vehicle, make sure that
it is kept upright and that the fuel
cock(s) are turned to “ON” or
“RES” (for vacuum type)/”OFF”
(for manual type). If the motorcy-
cle should lean over, gasoline
may leak out of the carburetor or
fuel tank.
●If you should swallow any gaso-
line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immediate-
ly. If any gasoline spills on your
skin or clothing, immediately
wash the affected area with soap
and water and change your
clothes.

WARNING0
●Electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous since it contains
sulfuric acid, which causes se-
vere burns. Avoid any contact
with skin, eyes or clothing and
always shield your eyes when
working near batteries. In case
of contact, administer the fol-
lowing FIRST AID.
• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.
• INTERNAL: Drink large quan-
tities of water or milk and im-
mediately call a physician.
• EYES: Flush with water for 15
minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.
●Batteries produce explosive hy-
drogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed space.
●KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTER-
IES OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.

type (MF) battery, which does not re-
quire any maintenance. There is no
need to check the electrolyte or to add
distilled water.
ECA10620CAUTION:

tery cell seals, as this would perma-
nently damage the battery.
To access the battery
Remove the battery holder bracket by
removing the bolts.
1. Positive battery terminal
2. Negative battery terminal
To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the bat-
