Throttle lever

Check the operation of the throttle lever. It must
open smoothly and spring back to the idle position
when released. Have a Yamaha dealer correct if
necessary.

EBU19814

Tires

Check tire pressure regularly to make sure it is at
the recommended specifications. Also check for
wear and damage.

Tire pressure

Use the low-pressure tire gauge to check and ad-
just tire pressures when the tires are cold. Tire
pressures must be equal on both sides.

WARNING! Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause severe injury
or death from loss of control or rollover. Tire
pressure below the minimum specified could
also cause the tire to dislodge from the rim un-
der severe riding conditions.

[EWB02541]

Set tire

pressures to the following specifications:

The low-pressure tire gauge is included as stan-
dard equipment. Make two measurements of the
tire pressure and use the second reading. Dust or
dirt in the gauge could cause the first reading to be
incorrect.

Recommended tire pressure:

Front

20.0 kPa (0.200 kgf/cm², 2.9 psi)

Rear

25.0 kPa (0.250 kgf/cm², 3.6 psi)

Minimum tire pressure:

Front

17.0 kPa (0.170 kgf/cm², 2.5 psi)

Rear

22.0 kPa (0.220 kgf/cm², 3.2 psi)

Maximum tire seating pressure:

Front

250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm², 36 psi)

Rear

250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm², 36 psi)
