4-5 Tires
To ensure maximum performance, long service, and safe
operation, note the following:
1. Tire air pressure
Always check and adjust the tire pressure before
operating the machine.
Tire inflation pressure should be checked and adjusted
when the temperature of the tire equals the ambient air
temperature.
Tire inflation pressure must be adjusted according to
total weight of cargo, rider, passenger and accessories
(fairing, saddlebags, etc. if approved for this model),
and vehicle speed.

4-6 Proper loading of your motorcycle is important for the
handling, braking, and other performance and safety
characteristics of your motorcyle. Do not carry loosely
packed items that can shift. Securely pack your heaviest
items close to the center of the motorcycle, and
distribute the weight evenly from side to side. Properly
adjust the suspension for your load, and check the
condition and pressure of your tires. NEVER
OVERLOAD YOUR MOTORCYCLE. Make sure the total
weight of the cargo, rider, passenger, and accessories
(fairing, saddlebags, etc. if approved for this model)
does not exceed the maximum load of the motorcycle.
Operation of an overloaded motorcycle could cause tire
damage, an accident, or even injury.
2. Tire inspection
Always check the tires before operating the motorcycle.
If a tire tread shows crosswise lines (minimum tread
depth), if the tire has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if
the side wall is cracked, contact a Yamaha dealer or
other qualified mechanic and have the tire replaced.

CAUTION:
Always wipe off spilled fuel immediately with a dry and
clean soft cloth. Fuel may deteriorate painted surfaces
or plastic parts.
Fuel
-./ - .0
Make sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Avoid spilling fuel on the
hot engine. Do not fill the fuel tank above the bottom of
the filler tube as shown in the illustration or it may
overflow when the fuel heats up later and expands.
Recommended fuel:

Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use regular
unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number ([R+m]/2)
of 86 or higher, or research octane number of 91 or higher.
If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of
gasoline or premium unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel will give
you longer spark plug life and reduced maintenance cost.
If unleaded gasoline is not available, then leaded regular
gasoline can be used.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol; gasohol containing ethanol
and that containing methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol
can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10%.
Gasohol containing methanol is not recommended by
Yamaha because it can cause fuel system damage or
vehicle performance problems.
