Loading
4
Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution
5
of the scooter is changed. To avoid
the possibility of an accident, use ex-
6
treme caution when adding cargo or
accessories to your scooter. Use extra
7
care when riding a scooter that has
added cargo or accessories. Here,
along with the information about ac-
8
cessories below, are some general
guidelines to follow if loading cargo to
9
your scooter:
The total weight of the operator,
passenger, accessories and cargo
must not exceed the maximum load
limit. Operation of an overloaded
vehicle could cause an accident.
Maximum load:
179 kg (395 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. Se-
curely pack your heaviest items
as close to the center of the ve-
hicle as possible and make sure
to distribute the weight as evenly
as possible on both sides of the
scooter to minimize imbalance or
instability.
●
Shifting weights can create a
sudden imbalance. Make sure
that accessories and cargo are
securely attached to the scooter
before riding. Check accessory
mounts and cargo restraints fre-
quently.
• Properly adjust the suspen-
sion for your load (suspension-
adjustable models only), and
check the condition and pres-
sure of your tires.
• N e v e r a t t a c h a n y l a r g e o r
1-3
heavy items to the handlebar,
front fork, or front fender. Such
items can create unstable
handling or a slow steering re-
sponse.
●
This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached
to a sidecar.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
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
by Yamaha for use on your vehicle.
Many companies with no connection
to Yamaha manufacture parts and ac-
cessories or offer other modifications
for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not
in a position to test the products that
these aftermarket companies pro-
duce. Therefore, Yamaha can neither
endorse nor recommend the use of
accessories not sold by Yamaha or
modifications not specifically recom-
mended by Yamaha, even if sold and
installed by a Yamaha dealer.
