Tires
Always use the recommended tires.
WARNING
Use of improper tires on this ATV, or operation
of this ATV with improper or uneven tire pres-
sure, may cause loss of control, increasing
your risk of accident.
Pay attention to the following.
1. The tires listed below have been approved
by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. for this model.
Other tire combinations are not recom-
mended.(For Europe)
(For Oceania)

2. The tires should be set to the recommend-
ed pressure:
Recommended tire pressure
Front 35 kPa (0.35 kgf/cm
2, 0.35 bar)
Rear 30 kPa (0.30 kgf/cm2, 0.30 bar)
Check and adjust tire pressures when the
tires are cold.
Tire pressures must be equal on both
sides.
3. Tire pressure below the minimum speci-
fied could cause the tire to dislodge from
the rim under severe riding conditions.
The following are minimums:
Front 32 kPa (0.32 kgf/cm
2, 0.32 bar)
Rear 27 kPa (0.27 kgf/cm2, 0.27 bar)
4. Use no more than the following pressures
when seating the tire beads.
Front 250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm2, 2.5 bar)
Rear 250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm2, 2.5 bar)
Higher pressures may cause the tire to
burst. Inflate the tires very slowly and
carefully. Fast inflation could cause the
tire to burst.

How to measure tire pressure
Use the low-pressure tire gauge.NOTE:_ The low-pressure tire gauge is included as stan-
dard equipment. Make two measurements of the
tire pressure and use the second reading. Dust or
dirt in the gauge could cause the first reading to be
incorrect. _Set pressure with tires cold.
Set tire pressures to the following specifications:ACE-03E

pages 5-25–5-27. Always maintain proper tire
pressure as described in the Owner’s Manual
on page 5-29. Use of improper tires on this
ATV, or operation of this ATV with improper or
uneven tire pressure, may cause loss of con-
trol, increasing your risk of an accident. _Do not operate at speeds too fast for your
skills or the conditions.
WARNING
_ Always go at a speed that is proper for the ter-
rain, visibility and operating conditions, and
