Cast wheels
To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends or warpage be-
fore each ride. If any damage is
found, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place 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 han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened 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 characteris-
tics.

Adjusting the rear brake lock
lever cable
Rear brake lock lever cable adjust-
ment may be required if the rear
brake lock lever does not hold proper-
ly. When the rear brake lock lever is
not in use, the rear brake lock lever
cable length should measure 45 mm
to 47 mm (1.77 in to 1.85 in) at the
rear brake caliper. Periodically check
the rear brake lock lever cable length
and, if necessary, adjust it as follows.
To increase the rear brake lock lever
cable length, turn the adjusting nut at
