Tire information

This motorcycle is equipped with cast
wheels and tubeless tires with valves.

WARNING

EWA10480

●

The front and rear tires should
be of the same make and de-
sign, otherwise the handling
characteristics of the motor-
cycle cannot be guaranteed.

●

After extensive tests, only the
tires listed below have been ap-
proved for this model by
Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.

●

Always make sure that the valve
caps are securely installed to
prevent air pressure leakage.

●

Use only the tire valves and
valve cores listed below to
avoid tire deflation during a
high-speed ride.

WARNING

EWA10600

This motorcycle is fitted with super-
high-speed tires. Note the following
points in order to make the most ef-
ficient use of these tires.

●

Use only the specified replace-
ment tires. Other tires may run
the danger of bursting at super
high speeds.

●

Brand-new tires can have a rela-
tively poor grip on certain road
surfaces until they have been
“broken in”. Therefore, it is ad-
visable before doing any high-
speed riding to ride conserva-
tively for approximately 100 km
(60 mi) after installing a new tire.

●

The tires must be warmed up
before a high-speed run.

●

Always adjust the tire air pres-
sure according to the operating
conditions.
