MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLE

TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE

AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT

UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING

TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EX-

PERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EV-

ERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW

THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE RIDING THIS MOTOR-

CYCLE.

HE OR SHE SHOULD:

● OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-

TIONS FROM A COMPETENT

SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF

MOTORCYCLE OPERATION.

OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND

MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-

MENTS IN THE OWNER’S MAN-

UAL.

OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING

IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING

TECHNIQUES.

OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-

NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED

BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL

AND/OR WHEN MADE NECES-

SARY BY MECHANICAL CONDI-

TIONS.

Safe riding

● Always make pre-operation checks. Careful checks may help

● prevent an accident.

This motorcycle is designed to car-

● ry the operator and a passenger.

The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of automobile/motorcycle accidents.

Many accidents have been caused by an automobile driver who did not see the motorcycle. Making yourself conspicuous appears to be very effective in reducing the chance of this type of accident.

Therefore:

• Wear a brightly colored jacket.

• Use extra caution when you are approaching and passing through intersections, since intersections are the most likely places for motorcycle accidents to occur.

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist’s blind spot.

Many accidents involve inexperienced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current motorcycle license.

• Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your motorcycle to other qualified operators.

• Know your skills and limits.

Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.

• We recommend that you practice riding your motorcycle where there is no traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with the motorcycle and all of its controls.

Many accidents have been caused by error of the motorcycle operator. A typical error made by the operator is veering wide on a turn

SAFETY INFORMATION

● due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or undercornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed).

• Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic conditions.

• Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure that other motorists can see you.

The posture of the operator and passenger is important for proper control.

• The operator should keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the operator footrests during operation to maintain control of the motorcycle.

• The passenger should always hold onto the operator, the seat strap or grab bar, if equipped, with both hands and keep both feet on the passenger footrests.

• Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place both feet on the passenger footrests.

Never ride under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

● This motorcycle is designed for onroad use only. It is not suitable for off-road use.

Protective apparel

The majority of fatalities from motorcycle accidents are the result of head injuries. The use of a safety helmet is the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries.

Always wear an approved helmet.

Wear a face shield or goggles.

Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment

● of vision that could delay seeing a hazard.

The use of a jacket, heavy boots, trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in preventing or reducing abrasions or lacerations.

Never wear loose-fitting clothes, otherwise they could catch on the control levers, footrests, or wheels and cause injury or an accident.

Never touch the engine or exhaust system during or after operation.

They become very hot and can

● cause burns. Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet.

A passenger should also observe the above precautions.

Modifications

Modifications made to this motorcycle not approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment, may render the motorcycle unsafe for use and may cause severe personal injury.

Modifications may also make your motorcycle illegal to use.

Loading and accessories

Adding accessories or cargo to your motorcycle can adversely affect stability and handling if the weight distribution of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, use extreme caution when adding cargo or accessories to your motorcycle. Use extra care when riding a motorcycle that has added cargo or accessories.

Here are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo or adding accessories to your motorcycle:

1-2

U2D21AE0.book Page 3 Monday, June 26, 2006 2:18 PM

Loading

The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit.

Maximum load:

207 kg (456 lb) (CAL)

208 kg (459 lb) (U49)

When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind:

● Cargo and accessory weight should be kept as low and close to the motorcycle as possible. Make sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of

● the motorcycle to minimize imbalance or instability.

Shifting weights can create a sudden imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securely attached to the motorcycle before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.

Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebar, front fork, or front fender. These items, including such cargo as sleeping bags, duffel bags, or tents, can create unstable handling or a slow steering response.

Accessories

Genuine Yamaha accessories have been specifically designed for use on this motorcycle. Since Yamaha cannot test all other accessories that may be available, you must personally be responsible 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 mounting accessories.

● Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the performance of your motorcycle. Carefully inspect the accessory before using it to make sure that it does not in any way reduce ground clearance or cornering clearance,

SAFETY INFORMATION 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 motorcycle due to aerodynamic effects. Wind may attempt to lift the motorcycle, or the motorcycle may become unstable in cross winds. These accessories may also cause instability when passing or being passed by large vehicles.

• Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the freedom of movement of the opera-

SAFETY INFORMATION

● tor and may limit control ability, therefore, such accessories are not recommended.

Use caution when adding electrical accessories. If electrical accessories exceed the capacity of the motorcycle’s electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.

Gasoline and exhaust gas

● GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-

BLE:

• Always turn the engine off when refueling.

• Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust system when refueling.

• Never refuel while smoking or in

● the vicinity of an open flame.

Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your motorcycle in an area that has adequate ventilation.

Always turn the engine off before leaving the motorcycle unattended and remove the key from the main switch. When parking the motorcycle, note the following:

• The engine and exhaust system may be hot, therefore, park the motorcycle in a place where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.

• Do not park the motorcycle on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over.

• Do not park the motorcycle near a flammable source, (e.g., a kerosene heater, or near an open flame), otherwise it could catch fire.

When transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle, make sure that it is kept upright. If the motorcycle should lean over, gasoline may leak out of the fuel tank.

If you should swallow any gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get into your eyes, see your doctor immediately.

If any gasoline spills on your skin

1-4 or clothing, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water and change your clothes.

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

EAU40472

YCC-S system

This vehicle features the YCC-S

(Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shift) system.

The basic function of this system allows the rider to shift gears without the use of a clutch lever. Furthermore, a shift lever is equipped on the handlebar, allowing the rider to choose to shift gears either with the shift pedal or by hand.

When the engine is started and the shift pedal or the shift lever is moved, a signal is sent to the MCU (Motor Control

Unit) which disengages the clutch, then the shift is made. The MCU engages the clutch once the engine is running at the proper speed. Clutch engagement is controlled optimally by the MCU according to engine r/min, engine requirements, and riding conditions. See

“Handlebar switches” (page 3-10) and

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT

RIDING POINTS (page 5-1) for further

explanation of this system.

NOTE:

This is not an automatic transmission, only the clutch system is automatic.

The gears must be shifted by the rider.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

EAU15591

The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspection, to check the following points before each ride.

NOTE:

Pre-operation checks should be made each time the vehicle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very short time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

EWA11150

WARNING

If any item in the Pre-operation check list is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before operating the vehicle.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU15950

EWA10270

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.

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.

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.

EAU40840

Starting the engine

In order for the ignition circuit cut-off system to enable starting, one of the following conditions must be met:

● The front or rear brake is applied with the transmission in the neutral

● position whether the sidestand is up or down.

The front or rear brake is applied with the transmission in gear and the sidestand is up.

EWA14540

WARNING

Before starting the engine, check the function of the ignition circuit cut-off system according to the procedure

described on page 3-27.

Always apply the front or rear brake while the main switch is in the “ON” position and the transmission is in gear, otherwise the rear wheel will move freely.

Never ride with the sidestand down.

1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the engine stop switch is set to “ ”.

U2D21AE0.book Page 3 Monday, June 26, 2006 2:18 PM

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

● Always return the throttle to the closed position while changing gears to avoid damaging the engine, transmission, and drive train, which are not designed to withstand the shock of forced shifting.

5. Shift into second gear and release the shift pedal.

6. Open the throttle gradually.

7. Follow the same procedure when shifting to the next higher gear.

NOTE:

Always shift gears at the recommended shift points.

NOTE:

● When shifting from neutral to first gear, the engine speed must be lower than approximately 1300 r/min and the sidestand must be

● up.

Shifting up is impossible if the engine speed is too low.

Shifting down is impossible if the engine speed is too high.

EAU41240

To start out and accelerate

1. Close the throttle.

2. Shift the transmission into first gear. The neutral indicator light should go out.

3. Open the throttle gradually.

4. Once the motorcycle has reached a speed high enough to change gears, close the throttle.

EAU41250

To decelerate

1. Apply both the front and the rear brakes to slow the motorcycle.

2. Shift the transmission into first gear when the motorcycle reaches

25 km/h (15.5 mi/h). If the engine is about to stall or runs very roughly, use the brakes to stop the motorcycle.

3. Shift the transmission into the neutral position when the motorcycle is almost completely stopped. The neutral indicator light should come on.

5-3

NOTE:

To avoid damaging the YCC-S clutch, the display flashes when it is necessary to downshift. If this occurs, downshift until the display stops flashing.

Recommended shift points

The recommended shift points during acceleration and deceleration are shown in the table below.

Shift up points:

1st → 2nd: 20 km/h (12.5 mi/h)

2nd → 3rd: 30 km/h (19 mi/h)

3rd → 4th: 40 km/h (25 mi/h)

4th → 5th: 50 km/h (31 mi/h)

Shift down points:

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU16841

Engine break-in

There is never a more important period in the life of your engine than the period between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For this reason, you should read the following material carefully.

Since the engine is brand new, do not put an excessive load on it for the first

1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in the engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances.

During this period, prolonged full-throttle operation or any condition that might result in engine overheating must be avoided.

EAU17121

ECA10331

CAUTION:

After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation, the engine oil and final gear oil must be changed, and the oil filter cartridge or element replaced.

1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond

The vehicle can now be operated normally.

ECA10310

CAUTION:

Keep the engine speed out of the tachometer red zone.

If any engine trouble should occur during the engine break-in period, immediately have a

Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

0–1000 km (0–600 mi)

Avoid prolonged operation above 4500 r/min.

1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)

Avoid prolonged operation above 5400 r/min.

EAU40581

Parking

When parking, stop the engine by turning the main switch to “OFF”, and then remove the key.

NOTE:

When the main switch is turned to

“OFF” and the transmission is in gear, the rear wheel cannot be moved.

EWA14521

WARNING

Always stop the engine using the main switch. When the engine stop switch has been used in an emergency, be sure to apply the front or rear brake while the main switch is still on, as the clutch automatically disengages a few seconds after the engine is turned off, and the rear wheel will move freely.

Since the engine and exhaust system can become very hot, park in a place where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch them.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

Checking the spark plugs

EAU19642

The spark plugs are important engine components, which should be checked periodically, preferably by a Yamaha dealer. Since heat and deposits will cause any spark plug to slowly erode, they should be removed and checked in accordance with the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart. In addition, the condition of the spark plugs can reveal the condition of the engine.

The porcelain insulator around the center electrode of each spark plug should be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color when the vehicle is ridden normally), and all spark plugs installed in the engine should have the same color. If any spark plug shows a distinctly different color, the engine could be operating improperly. Do not attempt to diagnose such problems yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

If a spark plug shows signs of electrode erosion and excessive carbon or other deposits, it should be replaced.

Specified spark plug:

NGK/CR8E

DENSO/U24ESR-N

Before installing a spark plug, the spark plug gap should be measured with a wire thickness gauge and, if necessary, adjusted to specification.

1. Spark plug gap

Spark plug gap:

0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in)

Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its mating surface, and then wipe off any grime from the spark plug threads.

Tightening torque:

Spark plug:

12.5 Nm (1.25 m·kgf, 9.0 ft·lbf)

NOTE:

If a torque wrench is not available when installing a spark plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the spark plug should be tightened to the specified torque as soon as possible.

1. Minimum level mark

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter the brake or YCC-S clutch systems, possibly causing them to become ineffective.

Before riding, check that the brake fluid is above the minimum level mark and replenish if necessary. A low brake fluid level may indicate worn brake pads and/or brake system leakage. If the brake fluid level is low, be sure to check the brake pads for wear and the brake system for leakage.

NOTE:

● The rear brake fluid reservoir is lo-

cated behind panel C. (See page

6-8.)

● The YCC-S clutch fluid reservoir is

located behind panel B. (See page

6-8.)

Observe these precautions:

● When checking the fluid level, make sure that the top of the brake and YCC-S clutch fluid reservoirs are level.

● Use only the recommended quality brake fluid, otherwise the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leakage and poor braking or

YCC-S clutch performance.

Recommended brake and YCC-S clutch fluid:

DOT 4 brake fluid

Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction and lead to poor braking or YCC-S clutch performance.

The brake and YCC-S clutch fluid reservoir diaphragms will lose their shape from the negative pressure if the fluid level goes down too far.

6-23

U2D21AE0.book Page 24 Monday, June 26, 2006 2:18 PM

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

Be sure to return the diaphragms to their original shape before reinstalling them.

Be careful that water or dust does not enter the brake and YCC-S clutch fluid reservoirs when refilling. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor lock, and dirt may clog the ABS hydraulic unit valves.

Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid immediately.

As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the brake fluid level to gradually go down. However, if the brake fluid level goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check the cause.

Troubleshooting

Although Yamaha motorcycles receive a thorough inspection before shipment from the factory, trouble may occur during operation. Any problem in the fuel, compression, or ignition systems, for example, can cause poor starting and loss of power.

The following troubleshooting charts represent quick and easy procedures for checking these vital systems yourself. However, should your motorcycle require any repair, take it to a Yamaha dealer, whose skilled technicians have the necessary tools, experience, and know-how to service the motorcycle properly.

Use only genuine Yamaha replacement parts. Imitation parts may look like

Yamaha parts, but they are often inferior, have a shorter service life and can lead to expensive repair bills.

Engine overheating

EWA10400

WARNING

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.

After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.

Care

EAU26060

While the open design of a motorcycle reveals the attractiveness of the technology, it also makes it more vulnerable. Rust and corrosion can develop even if high-quality components are used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go unnoticed on a car, however, it detracts from the overall appearance of a motorcycle. Frequent and proper care does not only comply with the terms of the warranty, but it will also keep your motorcycle looking good, extend its life and optimize its performance.

ucts onto seals, gaskets and wheel axles. Always rinse the dirt and degreaser off with water.

Before cleaning

1. Cover the muffler outlets with plastic bags after the engine has cooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and covers as well as all electrical couplers and connectors, including the spark plug caps, are tightly installed.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt, like oil burnt onto the crankcase, with a degreasing agent and a brush, but never apply such prod-

Cleaning

ECA10770

CAUTION:

Avoid using strong acidic wheel cleaners, especially on spoked wheels. If such products are used on hard-to-remove dirt, do not leave the cleaner on the affected area any longer than instructed. Also, thoroughly rinse the area off with water, immediately dry it, and then apply a corrosion protection spray.

Improper cleaning can damage windshields, cowlings, panels and other plastic parts. Use only a soft, clean cloth or sponge with mild detergent and water to clean plastic.

Do not use any harsh chemical products on plastic parts. Be sure to avoid using cloths or sponges which have been in contact with strong or abrasive cleaning products, solvent or

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

● thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust removers or inhibitors, brake fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte.

Do not use high-pressure washers or steam-jet cleaners since they cause water seepage and deterioration in the following areas: seals (of wheel and swingarm bearings, fork and brakes), electric components (couplers, connectors, instruments, switches and lights), breather hoses and vents.

For motorcycles equipped with a windshield: Do not use strong cleaners or hard sponges as they will cause dulling or scratching. Some cleaning compounds for plastic may leave scratches on the windshield.

Test the product on a small hidden part of the windshield to make sure that it does not leave any marks. If the windshield is scratched, use a quality plastic polishing compound after washing.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

After normal use

Remove dirt with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft, clean sponge, and then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush for hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt and insects will come off more easily if the area is covered with a wet cloth for a few minutes before cleaning.

After riding in the rain, near the sea or on salt-sprayed roads

Since sea salt or salt sprayed on roads during winter are extremely corrosive in combination with water, carry out the following steps after each ride in the rain, near the sea or on salt-sprayed roads.

NOTE:

Salt sprayed on roads in the winter may remain well into spring.

1. Clean the motorcycle with cold water and a mild detergent, after the engine has cooled down.

ECA10790

CAUTION:

Do not use warm water since it increases the corrosive action of the salt.

2. After drying the motorcycle, apply a corrosion protection spray on all metal, including chrome- and nickel-plated, surfaces to prevent corrosion.

After cleaning

1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois or an absorbing cloth.

2. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome, aluminum and stainlesssteel parts, including the exhaust system. (Even the thermally induced discoloring of stainlesssteel exhaust systems can be removed through polishing.)

3. To prevent corrosion, it is recommended to apply a corrosion protection spray on all metal, including chrome- and nickel-plated, surfaces.

4. Use spray oil as a universal cleaner to remove any remaining dirt.

7-2

5. Touch up minor paint damage caused by stones, etc.

6. Wax all painted surfaces.

7. Let the motorcycle dry completely before storing or covering it.

EWA11130

WARNING

Make sure that there is no oil or wax on the brakes or tires.

If necessary, clean the brake discs and brake linings with a regular brake disc cleaner or acetone, and wash the tires with warm water and a mild detergent. Before riding at higher speeds, test the motorcycle’s braking performance and cornering behavior.

ECA10800

CAUTION:

Apply spray oil and wax sparingly and make sure to wipe off any excess.

Never apply oil or wax to any rubber and plastic parts, but treat them with a suitable care product.

U2D21AE0.book Page 3 Monday, June 26, 2006 2:18 PM

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

● Avoid using abrasive polishing compounds as they will wear away the paint.

NOTE:

Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on what products to use.

Storage

EAU26241

Short-term

Always store your motorcycle in a cool, dry place and, if necessary, protect it against dust with a porous cover.

ECA10810

CAUTION:

Storing the motorcycle in a poorly ventilated room or covering it with a tarp, while it is still wet, will allow water and humidity to seep in and cause rust.

To prevent corrosion, avoid damp cellars, stables (because of the presence of ammonia) and areas where strong chemicals are stored.

Long-term

Before storing your motorcycle for several months:

1. Follow all the instructions in the

“Care” section of this chapter.

2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer (if available) to prevent the fuel tank from rusting and the fuel from deteriorating.

7-3

3. Perform the following steps to protect the cylinders, piston rings, etc.

from corrosion.

a. Remove the spark plug caps and spark plugs.

b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into each spark plug bore.

c. Install the spark plug caps onto the spark plugs, and then place the spark plugs on the cylinder head so that the electrodes are grounded. (This will limit sparking during the next step.) d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter. (This will coat the cylinder walls with oil.) e. Remove the spark plug caps from the spark plugs, and then install the spark plugs and the spark plug caps.

EWA10950

WARNING

To prevent damage or injury from sparking, make sure to ground the spark plug electrodes while turning the engine over.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

4. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting points of all levers and pedals as well as of the sidestand/centerstand.

5. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air pressure, and then lift the motorcycle so that both of its wheels are off the ground. Alternatively, turn the wheels a little every month in order to prevent the tires from becoming degraded in one spot.

6. Cover the muffler outlets with plastic bags to prevent moisture from entering them.

7. Remove the battery and fully charge it. Store it in a cool, dry place and charge it once a month.

Do not store the battery in an excessively cold or warm place [less than 0 °C (30 °F) or more than 30

°C (90 °F)]. For more information on storing the battery, see page

6-29.

NOTE:

Make any necessary repairs before storing the motorcycle.

YAMAHA EXTENDED SERVICE (Y.E.S.)

Keep your Yamaha protected even after your warranty expires with genuine Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.).

Y.E.S. is designed and administered by Yamaha Motor

Corporation to provide maximum owner satisfaction. You get uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra peace of mind.

Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that’s right for you: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months or, on certain models, even 48 months beyond your warranty period.

Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same

Yamaha people who handle your warranty – and it shows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There are no mileage limitations. Coverage isn’t limited to

“moving parts” or the “drive train” like many other plans.

And Y.E.S. covers manufacturing defects just like the warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamaha dealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factorybacked protection can be.

You don’t have to pay anything for covered repairs.

There’s no deductible to pay, and repairs aren’t

“pro-rated.” You don’t have any “out-of-pocket” expenses for covered repairs.

In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection

(TRIP) is included at no extra cost. TRIP gives you up to

$150 reimbursement per occurrence for any reasonable expenses you incur because your Yamaha needs covered service: replacement vehicle rental, emergency towing, phone calls, even food and lodging when you are away from home. This superb coverage goes into effect when you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any warranty repairs as well as covered repairs during your entire

Y.E.S. plan period.

Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha dealer nationwide.

Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to a new owner if you sell or trade-in. That can make your Yamaha much more valuable!

This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only available to

Yamaha owners like you, and only while your Yamaha is still within the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So visit your authorized Yamaha dealer to get all the facts. He can show you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha

Extended Service.
