This motorcycle is fitted with super-
high-speed tires. Note the following
points in order to make the most ef-
ficient use of these tires.
G
Use only the specified replace-
ment tires. Other tires may run
the danger of bursting at super
high speeds.
G
Brand-new tires can have a rel-
atively poor grip on certain
road surfaces until they have
been "broken in". Therefore, it
is advisable before doing any
high-speed riding to ride con-
servatively for approximately
100 km (60 mi) after installing a
new tire.
G
The tires must be warmed up
before a high-speed run.
G Always adjust the tire air pres-
sure according to the operating
conditions.

Cast wheels

To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the following points regard-
ing the specified wheels.
G
The wheel
checked for cracks, bends or
warpage before each ride. If any
damage is found, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair
to the wheel. A deformed or
cracked wheel must be replaced.
G The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced.
An unbalanced wheel can result
in poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and a
shortened tire life.
G Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be "broken in" for it
to develop its optimal characteris-
tics.
