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

Accessories
Genuine Yamaha accessories have
9
been specifically designed for use on
this scooter. Since Yamaha cannot test
all other accessories that may be avail-
able, you must personally be responsible
for the proper selection, installation and
use of non-Yamaha accessories. Use
extreme caution when selecting and in-
stalling any accessories.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under "Load-
ing" when mounting accessories.
8 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.
9 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.
9 Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability of
the scooter due to aerodynamic
effects. Wind may attempt to
1-3
lift the scooter, or the scooter
may become unstable in cross
winds. These accessories may
also cause instability when
passing or being passed by
large vehicles.
9 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.
8 Use caution when adding electrical
accessories. If electrical accesso-
ries 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
8 GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAM-
MABLE:
9 Always turn the engine off
when refueling.
