There are two significant reasons for knowing the serial number of your vehicle: 1. When ordering parts, you can give the num- ber to your Yamaha dealer for positive iden- tification of the model you own. 2. If your vehicle is stolen, the authorities will need the number to search for and identify your vehicle.
INCLUDED PARTS HANDLEBAR PROTECTOR INCLUDED PARTS EASB111013 Install the handlebar protector “1” with the mark “a” facing forward. EASB111014 SIDESTAND The sidestand “1” is used to support only the machine when standing or transporting it. EWA@ WARNING • Never apply additional force to the sides- tand.
