Tire information
This model is equipped with tube tires.
Tires age, even if they have not been
2
used or have only been used occasion-
ally. Cracking of the tread and sidewall
rubber, sometimes accompanied by
1 carcass deformation, is an evidence of
ageing. Old and aged tires shall be
checked by tire specialists to ascertain
their suitability for further use.
The front and rear tires should be of
the same make and design, other-
wise the handling characteristics of
the vehicle may be different, which
could lead to an accident.
After extensive tests, only the tires list-
ed below have been approved for this
model by Yamaha.
