WARNING
Proper loading of your motorcycle is im-
portant for several characteristics of your
motorcycle, such as handling, braking,
performance and safety. Do not carry
loosely packed items that can shift. Se-
curely pack your heaviest items close to
the center of the motorcycle, and distrib-
ute the weight evenly from side to side.
Properly adjust the suspension for your
load, and check the condition and pres-
sure of your tires. NEVER OVERLOAD
YOUR MOTORCYCLE. Make sure the total
weight of the cargo, rider and accessories
(fairing, saddlebags, etc. if approved for
this model) does not exceed the maximum
load of the motorcycle. Operation of an
overloaded motorcycle could cause tire
damage, an accident, or even injury.
2. Tire inspection
Always check the tires before operating
the motorcycle. If a tire tread shows
crosswise lines (minimum tread depth), if
the tire has a nail or glass fragments in it,
or if the side wall is cracked, contact a
Yamaha dealer immediately and have
the tire replaced.
