Storage compartment

This compartment is designed to store
a genuine Yamaha U-LOCK. (Other
locks may not fit.) Be sure the lock is
fastened securely with the straps when
storing it in the compartment.
To prevent losing the straps, be sure to
secure them even when a U-LOCK is
not being stored in the compartment.
When storing this Owner's manual or
other documents in the compartment,
be sure to put them in a vinyl bag so
they do not get wet. When washing the
motorcycle, be careful not to flood this
compartment with water.
