Valve Clearance; Tires - Yamaha MT-10 2023 Owner's Manual

Periodic maintenance and adjustment
1

Valve clearance

The valves are an important engine
2
component, and since valve clearance
changes with use, they must be
3 checked and adjusted at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
chart. Unadjusted valves can result in
4
improper air-fuel mixture, engine noise,
and eventually engine damage. To pre-
5
vent this from occurring, have your
Yamaha dealer check and adjust the
6
valve clearance at regular intervals.
7 TIP
This service must be performed when
the engine is cold.

at the appropriate time with the speci-
fied tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be checked
and, if necessary, adjusted before each
ride.
