Periodic maintenance and adjustment

Cast wheels

To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
1
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.

The wheel rims should be checked
2
for cracks, bends, warpage or oth-
er damage before each ride. If any
damage is found, have a Yamaha
3
dealer replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair to
the wheel. A deformed or cracked
4
wheel must be replaced.

The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
5
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
6
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.

Checking the front and rear
brake lever free play
There should be no free play at the
brake lever ends. If there is free play,
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
brake system.
WARNING
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
lever can indicate the presence of air
in the hydraulic system. If there is air
in the hydraulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the vehicle. Air in the
hydraulic system will diminish the
braking performance, which may re-
sult in loss of control and an acci-
dent.
