s WARNING
s
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the
vehicle with excessively worn
tires decreases riding stability

ding the tires, should be left to
a Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional know-
ledge and experience.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

Cast wheels

To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your
motorcycle, note the following points
regarding the specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be chec-
ked 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 crac-
EWA10470
ked wheel must be replaced.
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.
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be "broken in" for
it to develop its optimal characte-
ristics.
