Spoke wheels
To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of the vehicle,
note the following points.
Check each wheel for cracks, de-
formation and other damage. If
any damage is found, have the
wheel inspected by your Yamaha
dealer. Do not attempt to repair or
straighten a bent or damaged
wheel.
Check the spokes for looseness. If
any loose spokes are found, have
the wheel adjusted by your
Yamaha dealer. Improperly tight-
ened spokes can cause wheel
misalignment.
Have the wheel balanced whenev-
er the tire or tube has been re-
placed. An unbalanced wheel can
result in adverse handling charac-
teristics and shortened tire life.
