WARNING
@
●
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer re-
garding any control or function
that you do not thoroughly
understand.
●
Never start the engine or operate
it in a closed area for any length
of time. Exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous, and inhaling them can
cause loss of consciousness
and death within a short time. Al-
ways make sure that there is ad-
equate ventilation.
●
Before starting out, make sure
that the sidestand is up. If the
sidestand is not raised com-
pletely, it could contact the
ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss
of control.
