Cast Wheels; Clutch Lever Free Play - Yamaha FJR1300 Owner's Manual

WARNING
_
This motorcycle is fitted with super-
high-speed tires. Note the following
points in order to make the most ef-
ficient 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 any high-
speed riding to ride conserva-
tively for approximately 100 km
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.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

Cast wheels

To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the
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 characteris-
tics.

Clutch lever free play

Since this model is equipped with a hy-
draulic clutch, adjusting the clutch lever
free play is not needed. However, it is
following points
necessary to check the clutch fluid level
and check the hydraulic system for leak-
age before each ride. If the clutch lever
free play does become excessive, and
shifting becomes rough or clutch slip-
page occurs, causing poor acceleration,
there may be air in the clutch system. If
there is air in the hydraulic system, have
a Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the motorcycle.
