SAFETY INFORMATION
products or having other modifications
performed to your vehicle that change
any of the vehicle's design or opera-
tion characteristics can put you and
others at greater risk of serious injury
or death. You are responsible for in-
juries related to changes in the vehi-
cle.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under
"Loading" when mounting acces-
sories.
●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
clearance or cornering clearance,
limit suspension travel, steering
travel or control operation, or ob-
scure lights or reflectors.
Accessories fitted to the han-
dlebar or the front fork area can
create instability due to improp-
er weight distribution or aerody-
namic changes. If accessories
are added to the handlebar or
front fork area, they must be aslightweight 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 at-
tempt to lift the motorcycle, or
the motorcycle may become
unstable in cross winds. These
accessories may also cause in-
stability 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
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.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 han-
dling, braking, and comfort. Other
tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. Refer to page
7-16 for tire specifications and more
information on replacing your tires.

EAU10976
Immobilizer system
1. Code re-registering key (red bow)
2. Standard keys (black bow)
This vehicle is equipped with an im-
mobilizer system to help prevent theft
by re-registering codes in the standard
keys. This system consists of the fol-
lowing.
●a code re-registering key (with a
red bow)
●two standard keys (with a black
bow) that can be re-registered
with new codes
●a transponder (which is installed
in the code re-registering key)
●an immobilizer unit
●an ECU
●an immobilizer system indicator
light (See page 4-3.)
The key with the red bow is used to reg-
ister codes in each standard key. Since
re-registering is a difficult process, take
the vehicle along with all three keys to a
Yamaha dealer to have them re-regis-
tered. Do not use the key with the red
bow for driving. It should only be used
for re-registering the standard keys. Al-
ways use a standard key for driving.
ECA11821NOTICE
●DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-
REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT
YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY
IF IT IS LOST! If the code re-reg-
istering key is lost, registering
new codes in the standard keys
is impossible. The standard keys
can still be used to start the ve-
hicle, however if code re-regis-
tering is required (i.e., if a new
standard key is made or all keys
are lost) the entire immobilizer
system must be replaced.
Therefore, it is highly recom-
mended to use either standardkey and keep the code re-regis-
tering key in a safe place.
●Do not submerse any key in water.
●Do not expose any key to exces-
sively high temperatures.
●Do not place any key close to
magnets (this includes, but not
limited to, products such as
speakers, etc.).
●Do not place items that transmit
electrical signals close to any key.
●Do not place heavy items on
any key.
●Do not grind any key or alter its
shape.
●Do not disassemble the plastic
part of any key.
●Do not put two keys of any immobi-
lizer system on the same key ring.
●Keep the standard keys as well
as keys of other immobilizer
systems away from this vehi-
cle's code re-registering key.
●Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main switch
as they may cause signal inter-
ference.

registering key (red bow), keep it in a
safe place and only use it for code re-
registering.
