Cast Wheels; Adjusting The Brake Pedal Position - Yamaha XJR1300 Owner's Manual

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
WARNING
_
This motorcycle is fitted with su-
per-high-speed tires. Note the fol-
lowing points in order to make the
most efficient use of these tires.
G
Use only the specified replace-
ment tires. Other tires may run
the danger of bursting at super
high speeds.
G
Brand-new tires can have a rela-
tively poor grip on certain road
surfaces until they have been
"broken in". Therefore, it is ad-
6
visable before
high-speed riding to ride con-
servatively for approximately
100 km after installing a new
tire.
G The tires must be warmed up
before a high-speed run.
G
Always adjust the tire air pres-
sure according to the operating
conditions.

Cast wheels

To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note
regarding the specified wheels.
G
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends or warpage be-
fore each ride. If any damage is
found, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place 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
doing any
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.
G Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be "broken in" for it
to develop its optimal characteris-
tics.
