the motorcycle. If a tire tread shows
crosswise lines (minimum tread depth),
if the tire has a nail or glass fragments

tact a Yamaha dealer immediately and
have the tire replaced.

excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the

worn tires decreases riding sta-
bility and can lead to loss of
control.

The replacement of all wheel-
and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
edge and experience.
