●Do not run engine indoors. Even
if you try to ventilate engine
exhaust with fans or open win-
dows and doors, carbon monoxi-
de can rapidly reach dangerous
levels.
●Do not run engine in poorly venti-
lated or partially enclosed areas
such as barns, garages, or car-
ports.
●Do not run engine outdoors whe-
re engine exhaust can be drawn
into a building through openings
such as windows and doors.
Loading
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, along
with the information about accesso-
ries below, are some general guideli-
nes to follow if loading cargo to yourmotorcycle:
The total weight of the operator, pas-
senger, accessories and cargo must
not exceed the maximum load limit.
Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.
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.
Securely pack your heaviest
items as close to the center of
the vehicle as possible and 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.• Properly adjust the suspension
for your load (suspension-
adjustable models only), and
check the condition and pres-
sure of your tires.
• Never attach any large or
heavy items to the handlebar,
front fork, or front fender. The-
se items, including such cargo
as sleeping bags, duffel bags,
or tents, can create unstable
handling or a slow steering res-
ponse.
●This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached
to a sidecar.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your vehicle
is an important decision. Genuine
Yamaha accessories, which are avai-
lable only from a Yamaha dealer, have
been designed, tested, and approved
by Yamaha for use on your vehicle.
Many companies with no connection
to Yamaha manufacture parts and
accessories or offer other modifica-
tions for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is
not in a position to test the products

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.
