 The replacement of all wheel
and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
edge and experience.
 It is not recommended to patch
a punctured tube. If unavoid-
able, however, patch the tube
very carefully and replace it as
soon as possible with a high-
quality product.
 Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be "broken
in" for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.
