the motorcycle. If a tire tread shows
crosswise line (minimum tread depth),
if the tire has a nail or glass fragments
in it, or if the sidewall is cracked, con-
tact a Yamaha dealer immediately and
have the tire replaced.

WARNING

EWA10460

The front and rear tires should
be of the same make and de-
sign, otherwise the handling

proved for this model by

tion from country to country. If so, con-
form to the limits specified by the
