Tire inspection
Always check the tires before oper-
ating the motorcycle. If a tire tread
shows crosswise lines (minimum
tread depth), if the tire has a nail or
glass fragments in it, or if the side
wall is cracked, contact a Yamaha
dealer immediately and have the
tire replaced.

It is dangerous to ride with a
worn-out tire. When a tire
tread begins to show lines,
have a Yamaha dealer replace
the tire immediately. Brakes,
tires, and related wheel parts
replacement should also be
left to a Yamaha dealer.

Patching a punctured tube is
not recommended. If it is
absolutely necessary to do so,
use great care and replace the
tube as soon as possible with
a good quality replacement.

Wheels
To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation,
note the following:
8
Always inspect the wheels
before a ride. Check for cracks,
bends or warpage of the
wheel. Be sure the spokes are
tight and undamaged. If any
abnormal condition exists in a
wheel, consult a Yamaha deal-
er. Do not attempt even small
repairs to the wheel. If a wheel
is deformed or cracked, it must
be replaced.
8
Tires and wheels should be
balanced whenever either one
is changed or replaced. Failure
to have a wheel balanced can
result in poor performance,
adverse handling characteris-
tics, and shortened tire life.
