●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
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution
of the scooter is changed. To avoid
the possibility of an accident, use
extreme caution when adding cargo
or accessories to your scooter. Use
extra care when riding a scooter that
has added cargo or accessories.
Here, along with the information
about accessories below, are some
general guidelines to follow if loading
cargo to your scooter: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 scooter as possible. Secu-
rely pack your heaviest items as
close to the center of the vehicle
as possible and make sure to dis-
tribute the weight as evenly as
possible on both sides of the
scooter to minimize imbalance or
instability.
●Shifting weights can create a
sudden imbalance. Make sure
that accessories and cargo are
securely attached to the scooter
before riding. Check accessory
mounts and cargo restraints fre-
quently.
●Properly adjust the suspension
for your load (suspension-adjus-
table models only), and check the
condition and pressure of your
tires.
●Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front fork,
or front fender. Such items can
create unstable handling or a
slow steering response.
●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

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 scooter. Care-
fully inspect the accessory befo-
re using it to make sure that it
does not in any way reduceground 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 scooter due to aerodyna-
mic effects. Wind may attempt
to lift the scooter, or the scoo-
ter may become unstable in
cross winds. These accesso-
ries 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 accesso-
ries are not recommended.
●Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical
accessories exceed the capacity
of the scooter’s electrical system,
an electric failure could result,
which could cause a dangerous
loss of lights or engine power.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
scooter were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to pro-
vide the best combination of hand-
ling, braking, and comfort. Other tires,
rims, sizes, and combinations may
not be appropriate. Refer to page
6-11 for tire specifications and more
information on replacing your tires.

Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring in direction (a). To
decrease the spring preload and the-
reby soften the suspension, turn the
adjusting ring in direction (b).
Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position indica-
tor on the shock absorber.

sWARNING
This shock absorber assembly
contains highly pressurized nitro-
gen gas. Read and understand the
following information before hand-
ling the shock absorber assembly.
●Do not tamper with or attempt
to open the cylinder assembly.
●Do not subject the shock
absorber assembly to an openflame or other high heat sour-
ce. This may cause the unit to
explode due to excessive gas
pressure.
●Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
●Do not dispose of a damaged
or worn-out shock absorber
assembly yourself. Take the
shock absorber assembly to a
Yamaha dealer for any service.
