Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the mo-
torcycle 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 nec-
essary professional knowledge
and experience.
It is not recommended to patch
a punctured tube. If unavoidable,
however, patch the tube very care-
fully and replace it as soon as
possible with a high-quality
product.
