GIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY
ACCESSORIES
Yamaha original accessories have been specially designed for use on this scooter. Because Yamaha can not test every
accessory which is available on the market, the owner is personally responsible for the selection, fitting and use of
accessories of other makes.
The directives dealing with loading apply equally to accessories.
1.
Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the performance of your scooter. Carefully inspect the
accessory before using it to make sure it does not in any way reduce ground clearance or cornering clearance, limit
suspension travel, steering travel or control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors.
a.
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.
b.
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 being passed by or passing large vehicles.
c.
Certain 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
recommended.
2.
Caution must be used if adding electrical accessories. If these accessories exceed the capacity of the scooter’s
electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.
