9Owners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s vital functions can start to
deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leak or loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important
that, in addition to a thorough visual inspection, you check the following points before each ride.

EAU00685Wheels
To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation,
note the following:
1. Always 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, consult a Yamaha deal-
er. Do not attempt even small
repairs to the wheel. If a wheel
is deformed or cracked, it must
be replaced.
2. Tires and wheels should be
balanced whenever either one
is changed or replaced. Failure
to have a wheel balanced can
result in poor performance,
adverse handling characteris-
tics, and shortened tire life.3. Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be broken in
for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.
EAU00680
w
1. It is dangerous to ride with a
worn-out tire. When a tire
tread begins to show lines,
have a Yamaha dealer replace
the tire immediately. Brakes,
tires, and related wheel parts
replacement should also be
left to a Yamaha dealer.
2. 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.

EAU01301A. CLEANING
Frequent, thorough cleaning of
your motorcycle will not only
enhance its appearance but will
improve its
general performance and extend
the useful life of many compo-
nents.

8Improper cleaning can damage
the cowlings, panels and other
plastic parts. Use only a soft,
clean cloth or sponge with
mild detergent and water to
clean plastic.
8Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abra-
sive cleaning products, solvent
or thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust
removers or inhibitors, brake
fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte.
EC000111

Excessive hose pressure may
cause water seepage and deterio-
ration of wheel bearings, front
fork, brakes, transmission seals
and electrical parts.
Many expensive repair bills have
resulted from improper high pres-
sure detergent applications such
as those available in coin-operated
car washers.
4. After riding on salted roads,
wash the motorcycle with cold
water immediately. Do not use
warm water as it increases the
chemical reaction of the salt.
5. Once the majority of the dirt
has been hosed off, wash all
surfaces with warm water and
mild, detergent-type soap. An
old toothbrush or bottle brush
is handy for hard-to-get-at
places. 1. Before cleaning the motorcy-
cle:
a. Block off the end of the
exhaust pipe to prevent water
entry; a plastic bag and strong
rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and
all filler caps are properly
installed.
2. If the engine case is excessive-
ly greasy, apply degreaser
with a paint brush. Do not
apply degreaser to the chain,
sprockets or wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser
off with a garden hose. Use
only enough pressure to do
the job.
