Tires
Tires are the only contact between the
vehicle and the road. Safety in all con-
ditions of riding depends on a relatively
small area of road contact. Therefore, it
is essential to maintain the tires in good
condition at all times and replace them
at the appropriate time with the speci-
fied tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted
before each ride.

Tire inspection
The tires must be checked before each
ride. If a tire tread shows crosswise
lines (minimum tread depth), if the tire
has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if
the sidewall is cracked, contact a
Yamaha dealer immediately and have
the tire replaced.
