Accessories
Genuine Yamaha accessories have been specifically designed for use on this scooter. Since
Yamaha cannot test all other accessories that may be available, you must personally be respon-
sible 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 “Loading” when mount-
ing 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 that 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 aerody-
namic 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.
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.
