Wheels; Adjusting The Clutch Lever Free Play - Yamaha 2001 YZF-R6N Owner's Manual

Wheels

To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the following
regarding the specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends or warpage be-
fore each ride. If any damage is
found, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place 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
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a 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.
