Wheels
To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points.
z
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.
z
For spoke wheel-equipped mod-
els, check the spokes for loose-
ness. If any loose spokes are
found, have the wheel adjusted by
your Yamaha dealer. Improperly
tightened spokes can cause
wheel misalignment.
z
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.
