Carry loads low on the bike, you don't need a top heavy bike, or one with a big sail on the tail.
They have an M2, by law they are absolutely allowed to carry a passenger.Carry loads low on the bike, you don't need a top heavy bike, or one with a big sail on the tail.
You're not allowed to carry a passenger yet but your bike was designed capable of carrying additional weight where the passenger would be.
I wear a fanny pack and put everything in that, any weight in it ends up resting on the pillion seat and the weight shifts with me instead of adding weight to the bike. Your bike is plenty heavy now.
Got it!
I think I will start with basic maintenance first....
Has nothing to do with allowed to. Don't be taking passengers until you are a competent rider.
I agree with you here, since you literally said "you're not allowed..." then, but they are... Again, heavily ill advised, but for all intents and purposes they can. Just shouldn't.
Will do! Now the owner manual is my night read..... last night I read it and forgot time completely... then I dreamed about riding ... ?Welcome!
Hope you enjoy your new hobby immensely

yeah... it will take me another year or two to add a passenger .. Need to build my riding skills first... I don't want to carry anything but a bottle of water and cellphone are necessity. Fanny packs might be too small for that..... 
Thank you! My new toy
.... my used piano only cost $1000, love it, but MT-03 is by far most expensive toy I got in past decades...
Learn to change your own oil. Basic tools, a garage or parking spot and about an hour till you get good at it.Thank you! My new toy
It is MY toy so I need to care for it too . A bit nervous as I am not mechanically inclined. . but will do my best to learn. Will pop in and ask questions in the forum
You did it right, you bought a brand new bike so you know that nobody has previously messed with it, modified it or abused it
Yup! Every scratch will be from me.....You did it right, you bought a brand new bike so you know that nobody has previously messed with it, modified it or abused it
and you know how well everything should function before it gets all worn out
and me to blame.... ? Will give it lots of my love !!!
Yes... My piano technician heard I am going to get a bike; she was teasing me if it would be a Yamaha (I didn't buy a Yamaha Piano, bought a Petrof instead) .... turned out she predicted correctly.... Yamaha makes EVERYTHING lol
Save your old tooth brushes, they are handy for cleaning in hard to get to spots.
Totally!!! I was wondering the same thing about service manual. I will check with the dealer, if they don't have it I will call Yamaha Canada.
Most of the MT-03 service manuals online are from 2006 (for European Model).... up to 2012.. Not sure how different the models from various years for different markets.
