WARNING
Have a Yamaha dealer replace

excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the vehi-
cle with excessively worn tires
decreases riding stability and
can lead to loss of control.
The replacement of all wheel

and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
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.
