GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ATV

This ATV is for recreation and utility use. This sec-
tion, Riding your ATV, provides general ATV riding
instructions for recreational riding. The skills and
techniques described in this section, however, are
appropriate for all types of riding. Riding your ATV
requires special skills acquired through practice
7
over a period of time. Take the time to learn the ba-
sic techniques well before attempting more difficult
maneuvers.
Riding your new ATV can be a very enjoyable ac-
tivity, providing you with hours of pleasure. But it is
essential to familiarize yourself with the operation
of the ATV to achieve the skill necessary to enjoy
riding safely. Before you begin to ride, be sure you
have read this Owner's Manual completely and un-
derstand the operation of the controls. Pay partic-
ular attention to the safety information on pages
2-1–2-4. Also read all warning and notice labels on
your ATV.

RIDE WITH CARE AND GOOD JUDGMENT

Get training if you are inexperienced.
WARNING
Do not operate this ATV or allow anyone else
to operate it without proper instruction. The
risk of an accident is greatly increased if the
operator does not know how to operate the
ATV properly in different situations and on
different types of terrain.
Do not operate this ATV at speeds too fast
for your skills or the conditions, as this in-
creases your chances of losing control of
the ATV and an accident. Always go at a
speed that is proper for the terrain, visibility
and operating conditions, and your experi-
ence.
Beginning and inexperienced operators should
complete the certified training course offered by
Yamaha. They should then regularly practice the
skills learned in the course and the operating te-
chniques described in this Owner's Manual. For
more information about the training course, contact
an authorized ATV dealer or call 1-800-887-2887.
