Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the ve-
hicle with excessively worn tires
decreases riding stability and
can lead to loss of control.
● ●● ●
●
The replacement of all wheel andbrake related parts, including the
tires, should be left to a Yamaha
dealer, who has the necessary
professional knowledge and ex-
perience.

Cast wheelsTo maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the following points regard-
ing 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.

brake levers must be lubricated at the
intervals specified in the periodic main-

The front and rear brake shoes must
be checked for wear at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. Each brake is pro-
vided with a wear indicator, which al-
lows you to check the brake shoe wear
without having to disassemble the
brake. To check the brake shoe wear,
check the position of the wear indicator
while applying the brake. If a brake shoe
has worn to the point that the wear indi-
cator reaches the wear limit line, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake
shoes as a set.

To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the bat-
tery as soon as possible if it seems to
have discharged. Keep in mind that the
battery tends to discharge more quickly
if the vehicle is equipped with optional
electrical accessories.
To store the battery
1. If the vehicle will not be used for
more than one month, remove the
battery, fully charge it, and then
place it in a cool, dry place.
2. If the battery will be stored for more
than two months, check it at least
once a month and fully charge it if
necessary.
3. Fully charge the battery before in-
stallation.
4. Before installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly con-
nected to the battery terminals.

cC● ●● ●
●
Do not use a fuse of a higher
amperage rating than recom-
mended to avoid causing exten-
sive damage to the electrical
system and possibly a fire.
● ●● ●
●
After removing and installing the
main fuse, be sure to turn the
main switch from “ON” to “OFF”
three times in 3 seconds inter-
vals to initialize the idle speed
control system.
3. Turn the key to “ON” and turn on
the electrical circuits to check if the
devices operate.
4. If the fuse immediately blows again,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical system.

●
To charge a sealed-type (MF)
battery, a special (constant-volt-
age) battery charger is required.
Using a conventional battery
charger will damage the battery.
If you do not have access to a
sealed-type (MF) battery
charger, have a Yamaha dealer
charge your battery.

After installing the battery, be
sure to turn the main switch
from “ON” to “OFF” three times
in 3 seconds intervals to initial-
ize the idle speed control sys-
tem.
