Periodic maintenance and adjustment
The tires should be checked before
1
each ride. If the center tread depth
reaches the specified limit, if the tire
2 has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if
the sidewall is cracked, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the tire immediately.
3
Minimum tire tread depth (front and
rear):
4
1.5 mm (0.06 in)

TIP
The tire tread depth limits may differ
6
from country to country. Always comply
with the local regulations.

WARNING

Have a Yamaha dealer replace
8
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the vehi-
9
cle with excessively worn tires
decreases riding stability and
10
can lead to loss of control.

The replacement of all wheel
and brake-related parts, includ-
11
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
12
necessary professional knowl-
edge and experience to do so.

Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be "broken
in" for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.

This model is equipped with tubeless
tires and tire air valves.
Tires age, even if they have not been
used or have only been used occasion-
ally. Cracking of the tread and sidewall
rubber, sometimes accompanied by
carcass deformation, is an evidence of
ageing. Old and aged tires should be
checked by tire specialists to ascertain
their suitability for further use.

WARNING
The front and rear tires should
be of the same make and de-
sign, otherwise the handling
characteristics of the motorcy-
cle may be different, which
could lead to an accident.
Always make sure that the valve
caps are securely installed to
prevent air pressure leakage.
Use only the tire valves and
valve cores listed below to
avoid tire deflation during a
high-speed ride.
