14 position to test the products that these
aftermarket companies produce.
Therefore, Yamaha can neither en-
dorse nor recommend the use of ac-
cessories 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 prod-
ucts similar in design and quality to
genuine Yamaha accessories, recog-
nize that some aftermarket accessories
or modifications are not suitable be-
cause of potential safety hazards to you
or others. Installing aftermarket prod-
ucts or having other modifications per-
formed 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 “Load-
ing” when mounting accessories.
Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the perfor-
mance of your scooter. Carefully
inspect the accessory before using
it to make sure that it does not in
any way reduce ground clearance
or cornering clearance, limit sus-
pension travel, steering travel or
control operation, or obscure lights
or reflectors.
Accessories fitted to the handle- bar or the front fork area can cre-
ate instability due to improper
weight distribution or aerody- namic 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 aerodynamic
effects. Wind may attempt to lift
the scooter, or the scooter 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 free-
dom of movement of the opera-
tor and may limit control ability,
therefore, such accessories are
not recommended.
Use caution when adding electrical
accessories. If electrical accesso-
ries 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 provide
the best combination of handling, brak-
ing, and comfort. Other tires, rims, siz-
es, and combinations may not be
appropriate. Refer to page 8-18 for tire
specifications and more information on
replacing your tires.

NOTICE
ECA21573
The smart key has precision elec-
tronic components. Observe the fol-
lowing precautions to prevent
possible malfunction or damage.
Do not place or store the smart
key in a storage compartment.
The smart key may be damaged
from road vibrations or exces-
sive heat.
Do not drop, bend, or subject
the smart key to strong impacts.
Do not submerge the smart key
in water or other liquids.
Do not place heavy items or ex-
cessive stress on the smart key.
Do not leave the smart key in a
place exposed to direct sun-
light, high temperature or high
humidity.
Do not grind or attempt to mod-
ify the smart key.
Keep the smart key away from
strong magnetic fields and mag-
netic objects such as key hold-
ers, TVs, and computers.
Keep the smart key away from
electric medical equipment.
Do not allow oils, polishing
agents, fuel, or any strong chemicals to come in contact
with the smart key. The smart
key body may become discol-
ored or cracked.
TIP
The smart key battery life is ap-
proximately two years, but this
may vary according to operating
conditions.
The smart key battery may be-
come discharged even if it is away
from the vehicle and not being
used.
If the smart key continually re-
ceives radio waves, the smart key
battery will discharge quickly. (For
example, when placed in the vicin-
ity of electrical products such as
televisions, radios, or computers.)
Replace the smart key battery when
the smart key system indicator light
flashes for about 20 seconds when the
vehicle is first power on, or when the
smart key indicator light does not come
on when the “ON/OFF” switch is
pushed. (See page 3-6.) After changing
the smart key battery, if the smart key
system still does not operate, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
TIP
You can register up to six smart
keys for the same vehicle. See a
Yamaha dealer regarding spare
smart keys.
If a smart key is lost, contact a
Yamaha dealer immediately to
prevent the vehicle from being sto-
len.
