Tire inspection
1. Tire sidewall
2. Tire wear indicator
3. Tire tread depth
Always check the tires before operating
the motorcycle. If a tire tread shows
crosswise line (minimum tread depth),
if the tire has a nail or glass fragments
in it, or if the sidewall is cracked, con-
tact a Yamaha dealer immediately and
have the tire replaced.
