WARNING
@ l
After extensive tests, the tires
mentioned below have been ap-
proved by Yamaha Motor Co.,
Ltd. for this model. No guaran-
tee for handling characteristics
can be given if tire combina-
tions other than what is ap-
proved are used on this
motorcycle. The front and rear
tires should be of the same
manufacture and design.
l
The use of tire valves and valve
cores other than listed below
could cause tire deflation dur-
ing extreme high speed riding.
Always use genuine parts or
their equivalent for replace-
ment.
l
Be sure to install the valve caps
securely, as these are important
to prevent air pressure leakage
during extreme high speed
riding.

WARNING
@ This motorcycle is fitted with super
high-speed running tires. The fol-
lowing points must be observed in
order for you to make fully effective
use of these tires.l
Never fail to use the specified
tires in tire replacement. Other
tires may have a danger of
bursting at super high-speeds.
l
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.
l
Before any high-speed runs, the
tires should be warmed-up suf-
ficiently.
l
Always inflate to the correct tire
pressure according to the oper-
ating conditions.
