Cast Wheels; Adjusting The Clutch Lever Free Play - Yamaha YBR250 Owner's Manual

Cast wheels

To maximize the performance, durability,
and safe operation of your motorcycle,
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.
l The wheel rims should be 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.
The wheel should be balanced
l
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.
l Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire surface
must first be "broken in" for it to
develop its optimal characteristics.
