Cast Wheels - Yamaha Star XVS95B Owner's Manual

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
G
It is dangerous to ride with a
worn-out tire. When a tire tread
begins to show lines, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the tire
immediately. Brakes, tires and
related wheel parts replacement
should also be left to a Yamaha
dealer.
G Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be "broken
in" for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.

Cast wheels

To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.
7-16
G The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends, warpage or oth-
er damage 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.
G
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
