WARNING
After extensive tests, the tires
mentioned below have been ap-
proved by Yamaha Motor Co.,
Ltd. for this model. No guaran-
tee for handling characteristics
can be given if tire combina-
tions other than what is ap-
proved are used on
motorcycle. The front and rear
tires should be of the same
manufacture and design.
The use of tire valves and valve
cores other than listed below
could cause tire deflation dur-
ing extreme high speed riding.
Always use genuine parts or
their equivalent for replace-
ment.
Be sure to install the valve caps
securely, as these are important
to prevent air pressure leakage
during extreme high speed
riding.
