CHECKING THE TIRES
To maximize the performance, durability, and
safe operation of your motorcycle, note the fol-
lowing points regarding the specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be checked and, if
necessary, adjusted before each ride.
EWA1DX3001
WARNING
Operation of this vehicle with improper tire
pressure may cause severe injury or death
from loss of control.
• The tire air pressure must be checked and
adjusted on cold tires (i.e., when the tem-
perature of the tires equals the ambient
temperature).
• The tire air pressure must be adjusted in
accordance with the weight of the rider,
the riding speed, and the riding condi-
tions.
Tire inspection
The tires must be checked before each ride.
ECA1DX3001
NOTICE
• Be sure the bead stoppers are tightened.
Loose bead stoppers will cause the tire to
slip off the rim if tire pressure is too low.
• Be sure the valve stem is positioned
straight. A tilted valve stem indicates that
the tire has slipped from its original posi-
tion on the rim. Rotate the tire so that the
valve stem is positioned straight.

WARNING
• Have a Yamaha dealer replace excessively

excessively worn tires decreases riding
stability and can lead to loss of control.

lated parts, including the tires, should be
left to a Yamaha dealer, who has the nec-
essary professional knowledge and expe-
rience.

tured tube. If unavoidable, however, patch
the tube very carefully and replace it as
soon as possible with a high-quality prod-
uct.
