Cast Wheels; Front And Rear Brake Lever Free Play - Yamaha XMAX YP250R Owner's Manual

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

Cast wheels

To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your vehi-
cle, note the following points regar-
ding the specified wheels.
● The wheel rims should be chec-
ked 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 crac-
ked 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 its optimal characte-
ristics.

s WARNING
s
A soft or spongy feeling in the bra-
ke lever can indicate the presence
of air in the hydraulic system. If the-
re is air in the hydraulic system,
have a Yamaha dealer bleed the
system before operating the vehi-
cle. Air in the hydraulic system will
diminish the braking performance,
which may result in loss of control
and an accident.
