PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

Cast wheels

To maximize the performance,
durability, and safe operation of your
scooter, note the following points
regarding the specified wheels.
•
The wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends or
warpage 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.
•
The wheel should be balanced
6
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and a
shortened tire life.
•
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be "broken in" for it
to develop
characteristics.
