Accessories
Genuine Yamaha accessories have
been specifically designed for use on
this scooter. Since Yamaha cannot test
1
all other accessories that may be avail-
able, you must personally be responsible
2
for the proper selection, installation and
use of non-Yamaha accessories. Use
extreme caution when selecting and in-
3
stalling any accessories.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
4
as well as those provided under "Load-
ing" when mounting accessories.

8 Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the perfor-
mance of your scooter. Carefully
6
inspect the accessory before us-
ing it to make sure that it does not
7
in any way reduce ground clear-
ance or cornering clearance, limit
8
suspension travel, steering travel
or control operation, or obscure
lights or reflectors.

9 Accessories fitted to the
handlebar or the front fork area
can create instability due to
improper 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.
9 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.
9 Certain accessories can
displace the operator from his
or her normal riding position.
This improper position limits
the freedom of movement of
the operator and may limit
control ability, therefore, such
accessories are not recom-
mended.
8 Use caution when adding electrical
accessories. If electrical accesso-
ries exceed the capacity of the
scooter's electrical system an elec-
1-3
tric failure could result, which could
cause a dangerous loss of lights or
engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
8 GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAM-
MABLE:
9 Always turn the engine off
when refueling.
9 Take care not to spill any
gasoline on the engine or
exhaust system when refueling.
9 Never refuel while smoking or
in the vicinity of an open flame.
8 Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
scooter in an area that has adequate
ventilation.
8 Always turn the engine off before
leaving the scooter unattended and
remove the key from the main
switch. When parking the scooter,
note the following:
