Tire inspection
1. Tire sidewall
2. Tire tread depth
The tires must be checked before each
ride. If the center tread depth reaches
the specified limit, if the tire has a nail or
glass fragments in it, or if the sidewall is
cracked, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the tire immediately.
Minimum tire tread depth (front and
rear):
1.6 mm (0.06 in)
6-21
EWA10511
TIP
The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always comply
with the local regulations.
WARNING
●
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the vehi-
cle with excessively worn tires
decreases riding stability and
can lead to loss of control.
●
The replacement of all wheel
and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
edge and experience to do so.
●
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be "broken
in" for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.
