WheelsTo ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation, note
the following:
8Always 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, con-
sult a Yamaha dealer. Do not
attempt even small repairs to the
wheel. If a wheel is deformed or
cracked, it must be replaced.
8Tires and wheels should be bal-
anced whenever either one is
changed or replaced. Failure to
have a wheel balanced can
result in poor performance,
adverse handling characteristics,
and shortened tire life.
8Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be broken in for it
to develop its optimal character-
istics.

Operating the motorcycle with
excessively worn tires
decrease riding stability and
can lead to loss of control.
Have excessively worn tires
replaced by a Yamaha dealer
immediately. Brakes, tires, and
related wheel parts replace-
ment should be left to a
Yamaha Service Technician.

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.
NOTE:
These limits may be different by regu-
lation from country to country. If so,
