EAU00372 5- OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS EAU00376 @ EAU00373 @ WARNING Become thoroughly familiar with all operating controls and their functions before riding. Consult a Yamaha dealer regarding any control or function that you do not thoroughly understand. q Never start the engine or operate it in a closed area for any length of time. Exhaust fumes are poisonous, and inhaling them can cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always make sure that there is adequate ventilation. q Before starting out, make sure that the sidestand is up. If the sidestand is not raised completely, it could contact the ground and distract the operator, resulting in a possible loss of control. q CAUTION: q Make sure not to store personal items near the air cleaner intake, otherwise air intake will be blocked and performance will suffer. q Make sure not to put anything near the battery and its terminals, otherwise electrical failure and acid corrosion may result. 5 @ @ 5-1
