The wheels on this model are not de-
signed for use with tubeless tires.
Do not attempt to use tubeless tires

To maximize the performance, durabil-

cle, note the following points regarding
the specified wheels.

The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends, warpage or oth-
er damage, and the spokes for
looseness or damage before each
ride. If any damage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the

smallest repair to the wheel. A de-

replaced.

The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel

unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
