Q SAFETY INFORMATION

Loading

The total weight of the operator, passen- ger, accessories and cargo must not ex-

1ceed the maximum load limit of 144 kg (317 lb).When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind:

8 Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the scooter as possible. Make sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the scooter to minimize imbalance or instability.

8 Shifting weights can create a sud- den imbalance. Make sure that ac- cessories and cargo are securely attached to the scooter before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.

8 Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebar, front fork, or front fender. Such items can cre- ate 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 avail- able, you must personally be responsible for the proper selection, installation and use of non-Yamaha accessories. Use extreme caution when selecting and installing any accessories.

Keep the following guidelines in mind, as well as those provided under “Load- ing” when mounting accessories.

8Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the perfor- mance of your scooter. Carefully inspect the accessory before us- ing it to make sure that it does not in any way reduce ground clear- ance or cornering clearance, limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors.

9 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.

9Bulky 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.

9Certain accessories can

displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the freedom of movement of the operator and may limit control ability, therefore, such accessories are not recom- mended.

8Use caution when adding electrical accessories. If electrical accesso- ries exceed the capacity of the scooter’s electrical system an elec-
