6. Ride cautiously in unfamiliar areas. You may encounter hidden obstacles which could cause an acci-
dent.
7. The operatorÕs posture is important for proper control. The operator should keep both hands on the
handlebars and both feet on the operator footrests during operation to maintain control of the machine.
8. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from machine accidents are the result of head injuries. The use of a safety helmet
is the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries.
1. Always wear an approved helmet.
2. Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind on your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vi-
sion which could delay seeing a hazard.
3. The use of heavy boots, jacket, trousers, gloves, etc. is effective in preventing or reducing abrasions or
lacerations.
4. Never wear loose fitting clothing. It could catch on the control levers, footrests, or wheels and cause in-
jury or accident.
5. Never touch the engine or exhaust system during or after operation. They become very hot and can
cause burns. Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet.
Modification
Modifications made to the machine not approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment, may
render your machine unsafe for use and may cause severe personal injury. Modifications may also make
your machine illegal to use.
