Genuine Yamaha Accessories, whichare available only from a Yamaha dealer, havebeen designed, tested, and approved by Yamahafor use on your ATV. Many companies with no con-nection to Yamaha manufacture parts and acces-sories or offer other modifications for Yamahavehicles. Yamaha is not in a position to test theproducts that these aftermarket companies pro-duce. Therefore, Yamaha can neither endorse norrecommend the use of accessories not sold byYamaha or modifications not specifically recom-mended by Yamaha, even if sold and installed bya Yamaha dealer.Aftermarket parts, accessories, and modifica-tionsWhile you may find aftermarket products similar indesign and quality to genuine Yamaha Accesso-ries, recognize that some aftermarket accessoriesor modifications are not suitable because of poten-tial safety hazards to you or others. Installing after-market products or having other modificationsperformed to your ATV that change any of the ve-hicle’s design or operation characteristics can putyou and others at greater risk of serious injury ordeath. You are responsible for injuries related tochanges in the vehicle.Keep the following in mind when considering anaccessory or operating an ATV which has acces-sories.● Accessories should be rigidly and securelymounted. An accessory which can shift positionor come off while you are riding could affect yourability to control the ATV.● Do not mount an accessory where it could inter-fere with your ability to control the ATV. Exam-ples include (but are not limited to) a heavy orbulky object attached to the handlebars whichcould make steering difficult, an accessory thatlimits your ability to move around on the seat, orone that limits your view.● Use extra caution when riding an ATV with ac-cessories. The ATV may handle differently thanit does without accessories.
