Q Q SAFETY INFORMATION Q
keep the following in mind:
● Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close to
the scooter as possible. Make sure
1
to distribute the weight as evenly
as possible on both sides of the
2
scooter to minimize imbalance or
instability.
● Shifting weights can create a sud-
3
den imbalance. Make sure that ac-
cessories and cargo are securely
4
attached to the scooter before
riding. Check accessory mounts
5
and cargo restraints frequently.
● Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front fork,
6
or front fender. Such items can cre-
ate unstable handling or a slow
7
steering response.

Accessories
Genuine Yamaha accessories have
been specifically designed for use on
9
this scooter. Since Yamaha cannot test
all other accessories that may be avail-
able, you must personally be respon-
sible for the proper selection, installa-
tion and use of non-Yamaha accesso-
ries. Use extreme caution when select-
ing and installing any accessories.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under "Load-
ing" when mounting accessories.
●
Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the perfor-
mance of your scooter. Carefully
inspect the accessory before us-
ing it to make sure that it does not
in any way reduce ground clear-
ance or cornering clearance, limit
suspension travel, steering travel
or control operation, or obscure
lights or reflectors.
• 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.
• Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability of
the scooter due to aerody-
namic effects. Wind may
attempt to lift the scooter, or
1-3
the scooter may become
unstable in cross winds. These
accessories may also cause
instability when passing or
being passed by large vehicles.
• 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.
● Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical acces-
sories exceed the capacity of the
scooter's electrical system an elec-
tric failure could result, which could
cause a dangerous loss of lights
or engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
●
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAM-
MABLE:
• Always turn the engine off
when refueling.
• Take care not to spill any
gasoline on the engine or
