Tire inspection
The tires must be checked before each
ride.
NOTICE
ECA15580
●
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 posi-
tioned 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 posi-
tioned straight.
If the center tread depth reaches the
specified limit, if the tire has a nail or
glass fragments in it, or if the sidewall is
cracked, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the tire immediately.
Tire information
