Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your vehicle
is an important decision. Genuine
Yamaha accessories, which are avail-
able only from a Yamaha dealer, have
been designed, tested, and approved
by Yamaha for use on your vehicle.
Many companies with no connection to
Yamaha manufacture parts and
accessories or offer other modificati-
ons for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is
not in a position to test the products
that these aftermarket companies
produce. Therefore, Yamaha can
neither endorse nor recommend the
use of accessories not sold by Yamaha
or modifications not specifically
recommended by Yamaha, even if sold
and installed by a Yamaha dealer.
Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and
Modifications
While you may find aftermarket
products similar in design and quality
to genuine Yamaha accessories,
recognize that some aftermarket
accessories or modifications are not
suitable because of potential safety
hazards to you or others. Installing
aftermarket
products or having other modifications
performed to your vehicle that change
any of the vehicle’s design or operation
characteristics can put you and others
at greater risk of serious injury or
death. You are responsible for injuries
related to changes in the vehicle.
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 per-
formance 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.
Accessories fitted to the handle-
bar 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
scooter due to aerodynamic
effects. Wind may attempt to lift
the scooter, or the scooter may
become unstable in crosswinds.
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 impro-
per position limits the freedom of
movement of the operator and
may limit controlability, therefore,
such accessories are not
recommended.
Use caution when adding electrical
accessories. If electrical accesso-
ries 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.
