Storage compartment
This storage compartment is designed
to hold an optional genuine Yamaha U-
LOCK. (Other locks may not fit.) When
placing a U-LOCK in the storage com-
partment, securely fasten it with the
straps. When the U-LOCK is not in the
storage compartment, be sure to se-
cure the straps to prevent losing them.
When storing the owner’s manual or
other documents in the storage com-
partment, be sure to wrap them in a
plastic bag so that they will not get wet.
When washing the motorcycle, be
careful not to let any water enter the
storage compartment.
