Protective clothing is as essential for the motorcycle rider as seat belts are for car drivers and passen-
gers. Always wear a complete motorcycle suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic
materials with protectors), sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum pro-
tective wear, however, should not encourage carelessness. Although full-coverage helmets and suits,
in particular, create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable.
Riders who lack critical self-control run the risk of going too fast and are apt to take chances. This is
even more dangerous in wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, predictably and defensively
—avoiding all dangers, including those caused by others.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpect-
edly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leak-
age or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thor-

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha motorcycles
1 receive a thorough inspection before
shipment from the factory, trouble
2 may occur during operation. Any
problem in the fuel, compression, or
3 ignition systems, for example, can
cause poor starting and loss of
power.
4
The following troubleshooting chart
represents a quick and easy proce-
5 dure for checking these vital systems
yourself. However, should your
6 motorcycle require any repair, take it
to a Yamaha dealer, whose skilled
7 technicians have the necessary tools,
experience, and know-how to service
8 the motorcycle properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look
9
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter service life
and can lead to expensive repair
bills.
