Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.
The weight of the operator must not
exceed 150 kg (331 lb).
Accessory weight should be kept
as low and close to the motorcycle
as possible. Securely pack your
heaviest items as close to the
center of the vehicle as possible
and make sure to distribute the
weight as evenly as possible on
both sides of the motorcycle to
minimize imbalance or instability.
Shifting weights can create a
sudden imbalance. Make sure that
accessories are securely attached
to the motorcycle before riding.
Check accessory
frequently.
Properly adjust the suspension
for your load, and check the
condition and pressure of your
tires.
Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front fork,
or front fender.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your vehicle
is an important decision. Genuine
Yamaha accessories, which are
available only from a Yamaha dealer,
have been designed, tested, and
approved by Yamaha for use on your
vehicle.
Many companies with no connection to
Yamaha manufacture par ts and
accessories or offer other modifications
for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a
position to test the products that these
aftermarket companies produce.
Therefore, Yamaha can neither endorse
nor recommend the use of accessories
not sold by Yamaha or modifications not
specifically recommended by Yamaha,
even if sold and installed by a Yamaha

design or operation
Never install accessories that would
impair the performance of your
motorcycle. Carefully inspect the
accessory before using it to make
sure that it does not in any way
reduce ground clearance or
cornering clearance,
suspension travel, steering travel
or control operation.
Accessories fitted to the
handlebar or the front fork area
can create instability due to
improper weight distribution. 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.
Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability of the
motorcycle. Wind may attempt to
