CHECKING THE TIRES
The following procedure applies to both of the
tires.
1. Check:
• Tire air pressure
Out of specification
→
Regulate.
WARNING
EWA13181
• The tire pressure should only be checked
and regulated when the tire temperature
equals the ambient air temperature.
• The tire pressure and the suspension must
be adjusted according to the total weight
(including cargo, rider, passenger and ac-
cessories) and the anticipated riding
speed.
• Operation of an overloaded vehicle could
cause tire damage, an accident or an injury.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHICLE.
2. Check:
• Tire surfaces
Damage/wear
→
Replace the tire.
WARNING
EWA13190
It is dangerous to ride with a worn-out tire.
When the tire tread reaches the wear limit, re-
place the tire immediately.
WARNING
EWA14090
After extensive tests, the tires listed below
have been approved by Yamaha Motor Co.,
Ltd. for this model. The front and rear tires
should always be by the same manufacturer
and of the same design. No guarantee con-
cerning handling characteristics can be giv-
en if a tire combination other than one
approved by Yamaha is used on this vehicle.
WARNING
EWA13210
New tires have a relatively low grip on the
road surface until they have been slightly
worn. Therefore, approximately 100 km
should be traveled at normal speed before
any high-speed riding is done.
TIP
For tires with a direction of rotation mark “1”:
• Install the tire with the mark pointing in the di-
rection of wheel rotation.
• Align the mark “2” with the valve installation
point.
