Further Safe-Riding Points - Yamaha MIO AL115S Owner's Manual

Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match
the performance capabilities and to
provide the best combination of han-
dling, braking, and comfort. Other
tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. Refer to page
7-17 for tire specifications and more
information on replacing your tires.

Further safe-riding points

●
Be sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
● Braking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard brak-
ing, because the scooter could
slide. Apply the brakes slowly
when stopping on a wet surface.
●
Slow down as you approach a
corner or turn. Once you have
completed a turn, accelerate
slowly.
●
Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you
and open a door in your path.
●
Railroad crossings,
rails, iron plates on road construc-
tion sites, and manhole covers
become extremely slippery when
wet. Slow down and cross them
with caution. Keep the scooter
upright, otherwise it could slide
out from under you.

SAFETY INFORMATION
●
EAU10372 The brake pads could get wet
when you wash the scooter. After
washing the scooter, check the
brakes before riding.
● Always wear a helmet, gloves,
trousers (tapered around the cuff
and ankle so they do not flap),
and a bright colored jacket.
●
Do not carry too much luggage on
the scooter. An overloaded scoot-
er is unstable. Use a strong cord
to secure any luggage to the car-
rier (if equipped). A loose load will
affect the stability of the scooter
and could divert your attention
from the road. (See page 2-3.)
