OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU00373
@ Become
thoroughly
familiar
with all operating controls and
their
functions
before
riding.
Consult
a Yamaha
dealer re-
garding any control or function
that you do not thoroughly un-
derstand.
è Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are
poisonous,
and
inhaling
them
can cause
loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
è Before starting out, make sure
that the sidestand
is up. If the
sidestand
is not raised com-
pletely,
it could
contact
the
ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss
of control.
