PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

Spoke wheels

To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motorcy-
cle, note the following points regarding
1
the specified wheels.
G
The wheel rims should be checked
2
for cracks, bends or warpage, and
the spokes for looseness or dam-
3
age before each ride. If any dam-
age is found, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the wheel. Do not
4
attempt even the smallest repair to
the wheel. A deformed or cracked
5
wheel must be replaced.
G
The wheel should be balanced
6
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
7
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
8
ened tire life.
G
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
9
face must first be "broken in" for it
to develop its optimal characteris-
tics.
