SAFETY INFORMATION

that these aftermarket companies
produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neit-
her endorse nor recommend the use
of accessories not sold by Yamaha or
modifications not specifically recom-
mended by Yamaha, even if sold and
installed by a Yamaha dealer.
Aftermarket Parts, Accessories,
and Modifications
While you may find aftermarket pro-
ducts similar in design and quality to
genuine Yamaha accessories, recog-
nize that some aftermarket accesso-
ries or modifications are not suitable
because of potential safety hazards to
you or others. Installing aftermarket
products or having other modifica-
tions performed to your vehicle that
change any of the vehicle’s design or
operation characteristics can put you
and others at greater risk of serious
injury or death. You are responsible
for injuries related to changes in the
vehicle.
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 perfor-
mance of your motorcycle. Care-
fully inspect the accessory before
using it to make sure that it does
not in any way reduce ground cle-
arance or cornering clearance, limit
suspension travel, steering travel
or control operation, or obscure
lights or reflectors.
• 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 orbeing passed by large vehicles.
• Certain accessories can displa-
ce the operator from his or her
normal riding position. This
improper position limits the free-
dom of movement of the opera-
tor and may limit control ability,
therefore, such accessories are
not recommended.
●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.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match
the performance capabilities and to
provide the best combination of
handling, braking, and comfort. Other
tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. Refer to
page 6-17 for tire specifications and
more information on replacing your
tires.

1. Lock.
To close the fuel tank cap
1. Push the fuel tank cap into posi-
tion with the key inserted in the
lock.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to
the original position, remove it,
and then close the lock cover.
TIP
The fuel tank cap cannot be closed
unless the key is in the lock. In addi-
tion, the key cannot be removed if the
cap is not properly closed and loc-
ked.
EWA11091
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13212
Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline
in the tank.
EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engi-
ne and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the
vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop
filling when the fuel reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up,
heat from the engine or the sun
can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.

EAU16800
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follo-
wing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
●Turn the starter (choke) off as
soon as possible.
●Shift up swiftly, and avoid high
engine speeds during accelera-
tion.
●Do not rev the engine while shif-
ting down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engi-
ne.
●Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or at railroad cros-
sings).
EAU16830
Engine break-in
There is never a more important
period in the life of your engine than
the period between 0 and 1000 km
(600 mi). For this reason, you should
read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themsel-
ves to the correct operating clearan-
ces. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAUS1560
0–500 km (0–300 mi)
●Avoid prolonged operation above
4000 r/min.
●After every hour of operation,
stop the engine, and then let it
cool for five to ten minutes.
●Vary the engine speed from time
to time. Do not operate the engi-
ne at one set throttle position.500–1000 km (300–600 mi)
●Avoid prolonged operation above
6000 r/min.
●Rev the engine freely through the
gears, but do not use full throttle
at any time. NOTICE:After 1000
km (600 mi) of operation, the
transmission oil must be chan-
ged.
[ECA10370]
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
●The vehicle can now be operated
normally.
ECA10310
●Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
●If any engine trouble should
occur during the engine break-
in period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
