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 wheel. Be sure
the spokes are tight and undam-
aged. If any abnormal 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
handling characteristics,
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 characteristics.
