LOCATION OF IMPORTANT LABELS EASB29B008 LOCATION OF IMPORTANT LABELS Please read the following important labels carefully before operating this vehicle. For use only on a closed course Premium unleaded in sanctioned competition. gasoline only. This motorcycle does not meet 3FB-2415E-02 EPA noise and emissions standards and is not for general off-road recreational riding.
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.

Do not use any used parts, because these may not be genuine though they have similar ap- pearances or because the quality may be changed by aging.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION EASB29B021 GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS 1. When overhauling the engine, replace all gaskets and O-rings. All gasket surfaces, oil seal lips, and O-rings must be cleaned so that there may be no dust on them. 2. During assembly, always apply proper oil to bearings and proper grease to oil seal lips before installation.
