Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to your
3
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution
of the scooter is changed. To avoid the
4
possibility of an accident, use extreme
caution when adding cargo or acces-
5
sories to your scooter. Use extra care
when riding a scooter that has added
6
cargo or accessories. Here, along with
the information about accessories be-
low, are some general guidelines to fol-
7
low if loading cargo to your scooter:
8
The total weight of the operator, ac-
cessories and cargo must not ex-
9
ceed the maximum load limit. Opera-
tion of an overloaded vehicle could
cause an accident.
Maximum load:
85 kg (187 lb)
When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
●
Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close to
the scooter as possible. Securely
pack your heaviest items as close
to the center of the vehicle as pos-
sible and make sure to distribute
the weight as evenly as possible
on both sides of the scooter to mini-
mize imbalance or instability.
●
Shifting weights can create a sud-
den imbalance. Make sure that ac-
cessories and cargo are securely
attached to the scooter before
riding. Check accessory mounts
and cargo restraints frequently.
• Properly adjust the suspension
for your load (suspension-
adjustable models only), and
check the condition and
pressure of your tires.
• Never attach any large or
1-12 1-5
heavy items to the handlebar,
front fork, or front fender. Such
items can create unstable
handling or a slow steering
response.
This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached to
a sidecar.

Choosing accessories for your vehicle
is an important decision. Genuine
Yamaha accessories, which are avail-
able only from a Yamaha dealer, have
been designed, tested, and approved

sories or offer other modifications for
Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a
position to test the products that these
aftermarket companies produce. There-
fore, Yamaha can neither endorse nor
recommend the use of accessories not
