Wheels; Rear Brake Pedal Height Adjustment - Yamaha XJR1300 Owner's Manual

Wheels

To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation, note
the following:
Always inspect the wheels before
a ride. Check for cracks, bends, or
warpage of the wheels. If any ab-
normal condition exists in a wheel,
consult a Yamaha dealer. Do not
attempt even small repairs to the
wheel. If a wheel is deformed or
cracked, it must be replaced.
Tires and wheels should be bal-
anced whenever either one is
changed or replaced. Failure to
have a wheel balanced can result
in poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and short-
ened 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 characteristics.

The top of the brake pedal should be
positioned 40 mm below the top of the
footrest. If not, ask a Yamaha dealer to
adjust it.
@
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
pedal can indicate the presence of
air in the brake system. This air
must be removed by bleeding the
brake system before the motorcycle
is operated. Air in the system will
cause greatly diminished braking
capability and can result in loss of
EAU00712
control and an accident. Have a
Yamaha dealer inspect and bleed
the system if necessary.
