WARNING
This motorcycle is fitted with su-
per-high-speed tires. Note the fol-
lowing points in order to make the
most efficient use of these tires.
Use only the specified replace-

ment tires. Other tires may run
the danger of bursting at super
high speeds.
Brand-new tires can have a rela-

tively poor grip on certain road
surfaces until they have been
"broken in". Therefore, it is ad-
visable before doing
high-speed riding to ride con-
servatively for approximately
100 km (60 mi) after installing a
new tire.
The tires must be warmed up

before a high-speed run.
Always adjust the tire air pres-

sure according to the operating
conditions.


The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends, warpage or oth-
er damage 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 cracked
wheel must be replaced.

any The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel

dling characteristics, and a short-
