s
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha
regarding any control or func-
tion that you do not thoroughly
understand.
Never start the engine or ope-
rate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of cons-
ciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
Before starting out, make sure
that the sidestand is up. If the
sidestand is not raised comple-
tely, it could contact the
ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss
of control.
