Wheels; Clutch Lever Free Play Adjustment - Yamaha 2001 V Star XVS1100AM Owner's Manual

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

Wheels

To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation, note
the following:
Always inspect the wheels before
a ride. Check for cracks, bends or
warpage of the wheel. Be sure the
spokes are tight and undamaged.
If any abnormal condition exists in
a wheel, consult a Yamaha dealer.
Do not attempt even small repairs
to the wheel. If a wheel is de-
formed or cracked, it must be re-
6 placed.
Tires and wheels should be bal-
anced whenever either one is
changed or replaced. Failure to
have a wheel balanced can result
in poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and short-
ened 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 characteristics.
