SAFETY INFORMATIONEAU1028A

Be a Responsible OwnerAs the vehicle’s owner, you are respon-sible for the safe and proper operationof your motorcycle.Motorcycles are single-track vehicles.Their safe use and operation are de-pendent upon the use of proper ridingtechniques as well as the expertise ofthe operator. Every operator shouldknow the following requirements beforeriding this motorcycle.He or she should:

● Obtain thorough instructions froma competent source on all aspectsof motorcycle operation.

● Observe the warnings and mainte-nance requirements in this Own-er’s Manual.

● Obtain qualified training in safeand proper riding techniques.

● Obtain professional technical ser-vice as indicated in this Owner’sManual and/or when made neces-sary by mechanical conditions.

● Never operate a motorcycle with-out proper training or instruction.Take a training course. Beginnersshould receive training from a cer-tified instructor. Contact an autho-rized motorcycle dealer to find outabout the training courses nearestyou.

Safe RidingPerform the pre-operation checks eachtime you use the vehicle to make sure itis in safe operating condition. Failure toinspect or maintain the vehicle properlyincreases the possibility of an accidentor equipment damage. See page 5-1for a list of pre-operation checks.

● This motorcycle is designed to car-ry the operator and a passenger.

● The failure of motorists to detectand recognize motorcycles in traf-fic is the predominating cause ofautomobile/motorcycle accidents.Many accidents have been causedby an automobile driver who didnot see the motorcycle. Making

yourself conspicuous appears tobe very effective in reducing thechance of this type of accident.Therefore:• Wear a brightly colored jacket.• Use extra caution when you are

approaching and passingthrough intersections, since in-tersections are the most likelyplaces for motorcycle accidentsto occur.

• Ride where other motorists cansee you. Avoid riding in anothermotorist’s blind spot.

• Never maintain a motorcyclewithout proper knowledge. Con-tact an authorized motorcycledealer to inform you on basicmotorcycle maintenance. Cer-tain maintenance can only becarried out by certified staff.


SAFETY INFORMATION

● Many accidents involve inexperi-enced operators. In fact, many op-erators who have been involved inaccidents do not even have a cur-rent motorcycle license.• Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend your mo-torcycle to other qualified opera-tors.

• Know your skills and limits.Staying within your limits mayhelp you to avoid an accident.

• We recommend that you prac-tice riding your motorcyclewhere there is no traffic until youhave become thoroughly famil-iar with the motorcycle and all ofits controls.

● Many accidents have been causedby error of the motorcycle opera-tor. A typical error made by the op-erator is veering wide on a turndue to excessive speed or under-cornering (insufficient lean anglefor the speed).• Always obey the speed limit and

never travel faster than warrant-ed by road and traffic conditions.

• Always signal before turning orchanging lanes. Make sure thatother motorists can see you.

● The posture of the operator andpassenger is important for propercontrol.• The operator should keep both

hands on the handlebar andboth feet on the operator foot-rests during operation to main-tain control of the motorcycle.

• The passenger should alwayshold onto the operator, the seatstrap or grab bar, if equipped,with both hands and keep bothfeet on the passenger footrests.Never carry a passenger unlesshe or she can firmly place bothfeet on the passenger footrests.

● Never ride under the influence ofalcohol or other drugs.

● This motorcycle is designed for on-road use only. It is not suitable foroff-road use.

Protective ApparelThe majority of fatalities from motorcy-cle accidents are the result of head in-juries. The use of a safety helmet is thesingle most critical factor in the preven-tion or reduction of head injuries.

● Always wear an approved helmet.● Wear a face shield or goggles.

Wind in your unprotected eyescould contribute to an impairmentof vision that could delay seeing ahazard.

● The use of a jacket, heavy boots,trousers, gloves, etc., is effective inpreventing or reducing abrasionsor lacerations.

● Never wear loose-fitting clothes,otherwise they could catch on thecontrol levers, footrests, or wheelsand cause injury or an accident.

● Always wear protective clothingthat covers your legs, ankles, andfeet. The engine or exhaust sys-tem become very hot during or af-ter operation and can cause burns.

● A passenger should also observethe above precautions.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide PoisoningAll engine exhaust contains carbonmonoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car-bon monoxide can cause headaches,dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu-sion, and eventually death.Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-less, tasteless gas which may bepresent even if you do not see or smellany engine exhaust. Deadly levels ofcarbon monoxide can collect rapidlyand you can quickly be overcome andunable to save yourself. Also, deadlylevels of carbon monoxide can lingerfor hours or days in enclosed or poorlyventilated areas. If you experience anysymptoms of carbon monoxide poison-ing, leave the area immediately, getfresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-MENT.

● Do not run engine indoors. Even ifyou try to ventilate engine exhaustwith fans or open windows anddoors, carbon monoxide can rap-idly reach dangerous levels.

● Do not run engine in poorly venti-lated or partially enclosed areassuch as barns, garages, or car-ports.

● Do not run engine outdoors whereengine exhaust can be drawn intoa building through openings suchas windows and doors.

LoadingAdding accessories or cargo to yourmotorcycle can adversely affect stabili-ty and handling if the weight distributionof the motorcycle is changed. To avoidthe possibility of an accident, use ex-treme caution when adding cargo oraccessories to your motorcycle. Useextra care when riding a motorcyclethat has added cargo or accessories.Here, along with the information aboutaccessories below, are some generalguidelines to follow if loading cargo toyour motorcycle:The total weight of the operator, pas-senger, accessories and cargo mustnot exceed the maximum load limit.Operation of an overloaded vehiclecould cause an accident.

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

● Cargo and accessory weightshould be kept as low and close tothe motorcycle as possible. Se-curely pack your heaviest items asclose to the center of the vehicle aspossible and make sure to distrib-ute the weight as evenly as possi-ble on both sides of the motorcycleto minimize imbalance or instabili-ty.

● Shifting weights can create a sud-den imbalance. Make sure that ac-cessories and cargo are securelyattached to the motorcycle beforeriding. Check accessory mountsand cargo restraints frequently.• Properly adjust the suspension

for your load (suspension-ad-justable models only), andcheck the condition and pres-sure of your tires.

• Never attach any large or heavyitems to the handlebar, frontfork, or front fender. Theseitems, including such cargo assleeping bags, duffel bags, or

tents, can create unstable han-dling or a slow steering re-sponse.

● This vehicle is not designed topull a trailer or to be attached toa sidecar.

Genuine Yamaha AccessoriesChoosing accessories for your vehicleis an important decision. GenuineYamaha accessories, which are avail-able only from a Yamaha dealer, havebeen designed, tested, and approvedby Yamaha for use on your vehicle.Many companies with no connection toYamaha manufacture parts and acces-sories or offer other modifications forYamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in aposition to test the products that theseaftermarket companies produce.Therefore, Yamaha can neither en-dorse nor recommend the use of ac-cessories not sold by Yamaha ormodifications not specifically recom-mended by Yamaha, even if sold andinstalled by a Yamaha dealer.

Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, andModificationsWhile you may find aftermarket prod-ucts similar in design and quality togenuine Yamaha accessories, recog-nize that some aftermarket accessoriesor modifications are not suitable be-cause of potential safety hazards to youor others. Installing aftermarket prod-ucts or having other modifications per-formed to your vehicle that change anyof the vehicle’s design or operationcharacteristics can put you and othersat greater risk of serious injury or death.You are responsible for injuries relatedto changes in the vehicle.Keep the following guidelines in mind,as well as those provided under “Load-ing” when mounting accessories.

● Never install accessories or carrycargo that would impair the perfor-mance of your motorcycle. Care-fully inspect the accessory beforeusing it to make sure that it doesnot in any way reduce groundclearance or cornering clearance,

limit suspension travel, steeringtravel or control operation, or ob-scure lights or reflectors.• Accessories fitted to the handle-

bar or the front fork area cancreate instability due to improperweight distribution or aerody-namic changes. If accessoriesare added to the handlebar orfront fork area, they must be aslightweight as possible andshould be kept to a minimum.

• Bulky or large accessories mayseriously affect the stability ofthe motorcycle due to aerody-namic effects. Wind may at-tempt to lift the motorcycle, orthe motorcycle may become un-stable in cross winds. These ac-cessories may also causeinstability when passing or beingpassed by large vehicles.

• Certain accessories can dis-place the operator from his orher normal riding position. Thisimproper position limits the free-dom of movement of the opera-

tor and may limit control ability,therefore, such accessories arenot recommended.

● Use caution when adding electri-cal accessories. If electrical acces-sories exceed the capacity of themotorcycle’s electrical system, anelectric failure could result, whichcould cause a dangerous loss oflights or engine power.

Aftermarket Tires and RimsThe tires and rims that came with yourmotorcycle were designed to match theperformance capabilities and to providethe best combination of handling, brak-ing, and comfort. Other tires, rims, siz-es, and combinations may not beappropriate. Refer to page 7-21 for tirespecifications and more information onreplacing your tires.

Transporting the MotorcycleBe sure to observe following instruc-tions before transporting the motorcy-cle in another vehicle.

● Remove all loose items from themotorcycle.

● Check that the fuel cock (ifequipped) is in the “OFF” positionand that there are no fuel leaks.

● Point the front wheel straightahead on the trailer or in the truckbed, and choke it in a rail to pre-vent movement.

● Shift the transmission in gear (formodels with a manual transmis-sion).

● Secure the motorcycle with tie-downs or suitable straps that areattached to solid parts of the mo-torcycle, such as the frame or up-per front fork triple clamp (and not,for example, to rubber-mountedhandlebars or turn signals, or partsthat could break). Choose the lo-cation for the straps carefully sothe straps will not rub againstpainted surfaces during transport.

● The suspension should be com-pressed somewhat by the tie-downs, if possible, so that the mo-torcycle will not bounce excessive-ly during transport.

● Pushing the power switch whilethe system is operating will turnthe system off completely anderase the previously set cruisingspeed. You will not be able to usethe resume function until a newcruising speed has been set.

Automatic deactivation of the cruisecontrol systemThe cruise control system for this mod-el is electronically controlled and islinked with the other control systems.

The cruise control system will automat-ically become deactivated under thefollowing conditions:

● The cruise control system is notable to maintain the set cruisingspeed.

● Wheel slip or wheel spin is detect-ed. (If the traction control systemhas not been turned off, the trac-tion control system will work.)

● The start/engine stop switch is setto the “ ” position.

● The engine stalls.● The sidestand is lowered.

When traveling with a set cruisingspeed, if the cruise control system isdeactivated under the above condi-tions, the “ ” indicator light will go offand the “SET” indicator light will flashfor 4 seconds, and then go off.When not traveling with a set cruisingspeed, if the start/engine stop switch isset to the “ ” position, the enginestalls, or the sidestand is lowered, thenthe “ ” indicator light will go off (the“SET” indicator light will not flash).

ABS The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock BrakeSystem) features a dual electronic con-trol system, which acts on the front andrear brakes independently.Operate the brakes with ABS as youwould conventional brakes. If the ABSis activated, a pulsating sensation maybe felt at the brake lever or brake pedal.In this situation, continue to apply thebrakes and let the ABS work; do not“pump” the brakes as this will reducebraking effectiveness.

WARNINGEWA16050

Always keep a sufficient distancefrom the vehicle ahead to match theriding speed even with ABS.

● The ABS performs best withlong braking distances.

● On certain surfaces, such asrough or gravel roads, the brak-ing distance may be longer withthe ABS than without.

The ABS is monitored by an ECU,which will revert the system to conven-tional braking if a malfunction occurs.

During this test, a “clicking”noise can be heard from under theseat, and if the brake lever orbrake pedal is even slightly ap-plied, a vibration can be felt at thelever and pedal, but these do notindicate a malfunction.

● This ABS has a test mode whichallows the owner to experience thepulsation at the brake lever orbrake pedal when the ABS is oper-ating. However, special tools arerequired, so please consult yourYamaha dealer when performingthis test.

NOTICEECA16830

Keep any type of magnets (includingmagnetic pick-up tools, magneticscrewdrivers, etc.) away from thefront and rear wheel hubs; other-wise, the magnetic rotors equipped

in the wheel hubs may be damaged,resulting in improper performanceof the ABS and the unified brakesystem.

EAU54270

Traction control system The traction control system helps main-tain traction when accelerating on slip-pery surfaces, such as unpaved or wetroads. If sensors detect that the rearwheel is starting to slip (uncontrolledspinning), the traction control systemassists by regulating engine power asneeded until traction is restored. The“TCS” indicator/warning light flashes tolet the rider know that traction controlhas engaged.

TIPThe rider may also notice slight chang-es in engine and exhaust sounds whenthe traction control system is engaged.

WARNINGEWA15431

The traction control system is not asubstitute for riding appropriatelyfor the conditions. Traction controlcannot prevent loss of traction dueto excessive speed when enteringturns, when accelerating hard at asharp lean angle, or while braking,and cannot prevent front wheel slip-ping.

Engine break-in There is never a more important periodin the life of your engine than the periodbetween 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). Forthis reason, you should read the follow-ing material carefully.Since the engine is brand new, do notput an excessive load on it for the first1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts inthe engine wear and polish themselvesto the correct operating clearances.During this period, prolonged full-throt-tle operation or any condition that mightresult in engine overheating must beavoided.

EAU17123

0–1000 km (0–600 mi)Avoid prolonged operation above 4500r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600mi) of operation, the engine oil andfinal gear oil must be changed, andthe oil filter cartridge or element re-placed. [ECA10332]

1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)Avoid prolonged operation above 5400r/min.

Checking the spark plugs The spark plugs are important enginecomponents, which should be checkedperiodically, preferably by a Yamahadealer. Since heat and deposits willcause any spark plug to slowly erode,they should be removed and checkedin accordance with the periodic mainte-nance and lubrication chart. In addition,the condition of the spark plugs can re-veal the condition of the engine.The porcelain insulator around the cen-ter electrode of each spark plug shouldbe a medium-to-light tan (the ideal colorwhen the vehicle is ridden normally),and all spark plugs installed in the en-gine should have the same color. If anyspark plug shows a distinctly differentcolor, the engine could be operating im-properly. Do not attempt to diagnosesuch problems yourself. Instead, havea Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.If a spark plug shows signs of electrodeerosion and excessive carbon or otherdeposits, it should be replaced.

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

Clean the surface of the spark pluggasket and its mating surface, and thenwipe off any grime from the spark plugthreads.

TIPIf a torque wrench is not available wheninstalling a spark plug, a good estimateof the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turnpast finger tight. However, the sparkplug should be tightened to the speci-fied torque as soon as possible.

NOTICEECA10840

Do not use any tools to remove or in-stall the spark plug cap, otherwisethe ignition coil coupler may getdamaged. The spark plug cap maybe difficult to remove because therubber seal on the end of the cap fitstightly. To remove the spark plugcap, simply twist it back and forthwhile pulling it out; to install it, twistit back and forth while pushing it in.

WARNINGEWA10581

● It is dangerous to ride with aworn-out tire. When a tire treadbegins to show crosswise lines,have a Yamaha dealer replacethe tire immediately.

● The replacement of all wheel-and brake-related parts, includ-ing the tires, should be left to aYamaha dealer, who has thenecessary professional knowl-edge and experience to do so.

● Ride at moderate speeds afterchanging a tire since the tiresurface must first be “brokenin” for it to develop its optimalcharacteristics.

Tire information

This motorcycle is equipped with tube-less tires, tire air valves and castwheels.Tires age, even if they have not beenused or have only been used occasion-ally. Cracking of the tread and sidewallrubber, sometimes accompanied bycarcass deformation, is an evidence ofageing. Old and aged tires shall bechecked by tire specialists to ascertaintheir suitability for further use.

WARNINGEWA10481

● The front and rear tires shouldbe of the same make and de-sign, otherwise the handlingcharacteristics of the motorcy-cle may be different, whichcould lead to an accident.

● Always make sure that the valvecaps are securely installed toprevent air pressure leakage.

● Use only the tire valves andvalve cores listed below toavoid tire deflation during ahigh-speed ride.

After extensive tests, only the tires list-ed below have been approved for thismodel by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.

WARNINGEWA10600

This motorcycle is fitted with super-high-speed tires. Note the followingpoints in order to make the most ef-ficient use of these tires.

● Use only the specified replace-ment tires. Other tires may runthe danger of bursting at superhigh speeds.

● Brand-new tires can have a rela-tively poor grip on certain roadsurfaces until they have been“broken in”. Therefore, it is ad-visable before doing any high-

speed riding to ride conserva-tively for approximately 100 km(60 mi) after installing a new tire.

● The tires must be warmed upbefore a high-speed run.

● Always adjust the tire air pres-sure according to the operatingconditions.

EAU21962

Cast wheels To maximize the performance, durabil-ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,note the following points regarding thespecified wheels.

● The wheel rims should be checkedfor cracks, bends, warpage or oth-er damage before each ride. If anydamage is found, have a Yamahadealer replace the wheel. Do notattempt even the smallest repair tothe wheel. A deformed or crackedwheel must be replaced.

● The wheel should be balancedwhenever either the tire or wheelhas been changed or replaced. Anunbalanced wheel can result inpoor performance, adverse han-dling characteristics, and a short-ened tire life.

Matte color caution

NOTICEECA15192

Some models are equipped withmatte colored finished parts. Besure to consult a Yamaha dealer foradvice on what products to use be-fore cleaning the vehicle. Using abrush, harsh chemical products orcleaning compounds when cleaningthese parts will scratch or damagetheir surface. Wax also should notbe applied to any matte colored fin-ished parts.

EAU54670

Care While the open design of a motorcyclereveals the attractiveness of the tech-nology, it also makes it more vulnera-ble. Rust and corrosion can developeven if high-quality components areused. A rusty exhaust pipe may go un-noticed on a car, however, it detractsfrom the overall appearance of a motor-cycle. Frequent and proper care doesnot only comply with the terms of thewarranty, but it will also keep your mo-torcycle looking good, extend its lifeand optimize its performance.

Before cleaning1. Cover the muffler outlets with plas-

tic bags after the engine hascooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and coversas well as all electrical couplersand connectors, including thespark plug caps, are tightly in-stalled.

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

ucts onto seals, gaskets and wheelaxles. Always rinse the dirt and de-greaser off with water.

Cleaning

NOTICEECA10772

● Avoid using strong acidic wheelcleaners, especially on spokedwheels. If such products areused on hard-to-remove dirt, donot leave the cleaner on the af-fected area any longer than in-structed. Also, thoroughly rinsethe area off with water, immedi-ately dry it, and then apply a cor-rosion protection spray.

● Improper cleaning can damageplastic parts (such as cowlings,panels, windshields, headlightlenses, meter lenses, etc.) andthe mufflers. Use only a soft,clean cloth or sponge with wa-ter to clean plastic. However, ifthe plastic parts cannot be thor-oughly cleaned with water, di-luted mild detergent with watermay be used. Be sure to rinse



8-2

off any detergent residue usingplenty of water, as it is harmfulto plastic parts.

● Do not use any harsh chemicalproducts on plastic parts. Besure to avoid using cloths orsponges which have been incontact with strong or abrasivecleaning products, solvent orthinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-movers or inhibitors, brake flu-id, antifreeze or electrolyte.

● Do not use high-pressure wash-ers or steam-jet cleaners sincethey cause water seepage anddeterioration in the following ar-eas: seals (of wheel and swing-arm bearings, fork and brakes),electric components (couplers,connectors, instruments,switches and lights), breatherhoses and vents.

● For motorcycles equipped witha windshield: Do not use strongcleaners or hard sponges asthey will cause dulling orscratching. Some cleaning com-pounds for plastic may leavescratches on the windshield.

Test the product on a small hid-den part of the windshield tomake sure that it does not leaveany marks. If the windshield isscratched, use a quality plasticpolishing compound afterwashing.

After normal useRemove dirt with warm water, a milddetergent, and a soft, clean sponge,and then rinse thoroughly with cleanwater. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrushfor hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirtand insects will come off more easily ifthe area is covered with a wet cloth fora few minutes before cleaning.

After riding in the rain, near the sea oron salt-sprayed roadsSince sea salt or salt sprayed on roadsduring winter are extremely corrosive incombination with water, carry out thefollowing steps after each ride in therain, near the sea or on salt-sprayedroads.

TIPSalt sprayed on roads in the winter mayremain well into spring.

1. Clean the motorcycle with cold wa-ter and a mild detergent, after theengine has cooled down.NOTICE: Do not use warm watersince it increases the corrosiveaction of the salt. [ECA10791]

2. After drying the motorcycle, applya corrosion protection spray on allmetal, including chrome- and nick-el-plated, surfaces to prevent cor-rosion.

Windshield cleaningAvoid using any alkaline or strong acidcleaner, gasoline, brake fluid, or anyother solvent. Clean the windshield witha cloth or sponge dampened with aneutral detergent, and after cleaning,thoroughly wash it off with water. Foradditional cleaning, use Yamaha Wind-shield Cleaner or other quality cleaner.Some cleaning compounds for plasticsmay leave scratches on surfaces of the

WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?The customer’s responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance services, non-warranty repairs, accident and collision damages, and oil, oil filters, air filters, spark plugs, and brake shoes.

What are some examples of “abnormal” strain, neglect, or abuse?These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples include: Running the machine out of oil, sustained high rpm, full-throttle, operating the machine with a broken or damaged part which causes another part to fail, damage or failure due to improper or careless transportation and/or tie-down. If you have any specific questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your dealer for advice.

Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as towing or transportation due toa failure?No. The warranty is limited to repair of the machine itself.

May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owner’s Manual instead of having the dealer do them?Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owner’s and Service Manual. We do recommend, however, that items requiring special tools or equipment be done by a Yamaha motorcycle dealer.

Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new motorcycle exactly as specified in the Owner’s Manual?No. The warranty on a new motorcycle cannot be “voided” or “cancelled.” However, if a particular failure is caused by operation or maintenance other than as described in the Owner’s Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.

What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty?Each Yamaha motorcycle dealer is expected to:

Completely set up every new machine before sale.Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satisfaction at the time of sale, and upon your request at any later date.Each Yamaha motorcycle dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and warranty repair work.

Is the warranty transferable to second owners?Yes. The remainder of the existing warranty can be transferred upon request. The unit has to be inspected and re-registered by an authorized Yamaha motorcycle dealer for the policy to remain effective.

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 foryou: 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 itshows 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 Yamahadealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory-backed 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 $250 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 yousell 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.

We urge you to act now. You’ll get the excellent benefits of TRIP coverage right away, and you’ll rest easy knowing you’ll have strong factory-backed protection even after your Yamaha Limited Warranty expires.
