2. Shifting weights can create a sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are
securely attached to the scooter before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints fre-
quently.
3. Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebar, front fork, or front fender. Such items can
create unstable handling or a slow steering response.
Accessories
Genuine Yamaha accessories have been specifically designed for use on this scooter. Since Yamaha
cannot test all other accessories that may be available, you must personally be responsible for the
proper selection, installation and use of non-Yamaha accessories. Use extreme caution when select-
ing and installing any accessories.
Keep the following guidelines in mind, as well as those provided under “Loading” when mounting
accessories.
1. Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the performance of your scooter.
Carefully inspect the accessory before using it to make sure that it does not in any way reduce
ground clearance or cornering clearance, limit suspension travel, steering travel or control opera-
tion, or obscure lights or reflectors.
a. Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper
weight distribution or aerodynamic changes. If accessories are added to the handlebar or front
fork area, they must be as lightweight as possible and should be kept to a minimum.
b. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the scooter due to aerodynamic
effects. Wind may attempt to lift the scooter, or the scooter may become unstable in cross
winds. These accessories may also cause instability when passing or being passed by large
vehicles.
