Tire inspection
Always check the tires before operating
the motorcycle. If a tire tread shows
crosswise lines (minimum tread depth),
if the tire has a nail or glass fragments
in it, or if the sidewall is cracked, con-
tact a Yamaha dealer immediately and
have the tire replaced.
NOTE:
These limits may be different by regula-
tion from country to country. If so, con-
form to the limits specified by the
regulations of your own country.

ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the

edge and experience.
