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, pas-
senger, 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 inspection
1. Tire tread depth
2. Tire sidewall
The tires must be checked before
each ride. If the center tread depth
reaches the specified limit, if the tire
has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if
the sidewall is cracked, have a Yama-
ha dealer replace the tire immediately.
Minimum tire tread depth (front
and rear):
1.6 mm (0.06 in)

Battery
This model is equipped with a VRLA
(Valve Regulated Lead Acid) battery.
There is no need to check the elec-
trolyte or to add distilled water. Howe-
ver, the battery coupler connection
needs to be checked to make sure
that it is securely connected.

WARNING
●Electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous since it contains
sulfuric acid, which causes
severe burns. Avoid any con-
tact with skin, eyes or clothing
and always shield your eyes
when working near batteries.
In case of contact, administer
the following FIRST AID.
• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.
• INTERNAL: Drink large quan-
tities of water or milk and
