It is dangerous to ride with a
worn-out tire. When a tire
tread begins to show lines,
have a Yamaha dealer replace
the tire immediately. Brakes,
tires, and related wheel parts
replacement should also be
left to a Yamaha dealer.

Patching a punctured tube is
not recommended. If it is
absolutely necessary to do so,
use great care and replace the
tube as soon as possible with
a good quality replacement.
