aftermarket companies produce.There- fore, 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 dealer.

Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and Modifications

While you may find aftermarket products similar in design and quality to genuine Yamaha accessories, recognize that some aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable because of potential safety hazards to you or oth- ers. Installing aftermarket products or having other modifications performed to your vehicle that change any of the vehicle’s design or operation characteristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible for injuries related to changes in the vehicle.

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

●Never 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.

•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.

•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.

 

• Certain accessories can
