wear, replace the tire immediately.
Patching a punctured tube is not recom-
mended. If it is absolutely necessary to do
so, use great care and replace the tube as
soon as possible with a good quality re-
placement tube.
Do not use tubeless tires on a wheel de-
signed for tube type tires only. Tire failure

After extensive tests, the tires listed below
have been approved by Yamaha Motor Co.,
Ltd. for this model. No guarantee concern-
ing handling characteristics can be given if
a tire combination other than one ap-
proved by Yamaha is used on this motor-
cycle. The front and rear tires should al-
ways be by the same manufacturer and of
the same design.
After mounting a tire, ride conservatively for
a while to give the tire time to seat itself
properly in the rim. Failure to do so could
lead to an accident with possible injury to
the rider or damage to the motorcycle.

tighten the valve stem locknut 1 to specifi-
