Cast wheels
To maximize the performance,
durability, and safe operation of your
scooter, note the following points
regarding the specified wheels.
•The wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends or
warpage before each ride. If any
damage is found, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair
to the wheel. A deformed or
cracked wheel must be replaced.
•The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and a
shortened tire life.
•Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be "broken in" for it
to develop its optimal
characteristics.
