To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation,
note the following:

before a ride. Check for cracks,
bends or

tight and undamaged. If any
abnormal condition exists in a
wheel, consult a Yamaha deal-
er. Do not attempt even small
repairs to the wheel. If a wheel
is deformed or cracked, it must
be replaced.
8 Tires and wheels should be
balanced whenever either one
is changed or replaced. Failure

result in poor performance,

tics, and shortened tire life.
