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 your
motorcycle:
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

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 per-
formance of your motorcycle.
Carefully inspect the accessorybefore using it to make sure that
it does not in any way reduce
ground clearance or cornering
clearance, limit suspension tra-
vel, steering travel or control ope-
ration, or obscure lights or reflec-
tors.
• 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 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 fre-
edom of movement of the ope-
rator and may limit control abi-
lity, therefore, such
accessories are not recom-
mended.
• Use caution when adding elec- trical accessories. If electrical
accessories exceed the capa-
city of the motorcycle’s electri-
cal system, an electric failure
could result, which could cau-
se a dangerous 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 6-19 for tire specifications and
more information on replacing your
tires.
