EAU21401

Valve clearance 

The valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper air-fuel mixture
and/or engine noise. To prevent this
from occurring, the valve clearance
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.

EAU32773

Tires 

To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motorcy-
cle, note the following points regarding
the specified tires.

Tire air pressure

The tire air pressure should be checked
and, if necessary, adjusted before each
ride.

WARNING

EWA10501

Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause se-
vere injury or death from loss of

The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the ambient
temperature).

The tire air pressure must be ad-
justed in accordance with the
riding speed and with the total
weight of rider, passenger, car-
go, and accessories approved
for this model.
