have the tire replaced.
TIP
The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always comply
with the local regulations.

It is dangerous to ride with a
worn-out tire. When a tire tread
begins to show crosswise lines,
have a Yamaha dealer replace
the tire immediately.

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

soon as possible with a high-
quality product.
