WARNING
@
Proper loading of your motorcycle
is important for several characteris-
tics of your motorcycle, such as
handling, braking, performance and
safety. Do not carry loosely packed
items that can shift. Securely pack
your heaviest items close to the
center of the motorcycle, and dis-
tribute the weight evenly from side
to side. Properly adjust the suspen-
sion for your load, and check the
condition and pressure of your tires.
NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR MOTOR-
CYCLE. Make sure the total weight
of the cargo, rider, passenger, and
accessories (fairing, saddlebags,
etc. if approved for this model) does
not exceed the maximum load of the
motorcycle. Operation of an over-
loaded motorcycle could cause tire
damage, an accident, or even injury.
@
Tire inspection
Always check the tires before operating
the motorcycle. If center tread depth
reaches the limit as shown, 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.
