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.

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.
