WARNING1. It is dangerous to ride with a
worn-out tyre. When a tyre
tread begins to show lines,
have a YAMAHA dealer replace
the tyre immediately.
WheelsTo 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
dealer. Do not attempt even small
repairs to the wheel. If a wheel is
deformed or cracked, it must be
replaced.
2. Tyres 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 characteristics, and
shortened tyre life.3. Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tyre since the tyre
surface must first be broken in for
it to develop its optimal
characteristics.PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

1. Wear limit line
2. Wear indicatorChecking the brake shoesA wear indicator is provided on each
brake. This indicator allows
inspection of shoe wear without
disassembling the brake. Apply the
brake and inspect the position of the
indicator. If the indicator reaches to
the wear limit line, ask a YAMAHA
dealer to replace the shoes.

Drive chain slack checkSpin the wheel several times and
find the tightest position of the
chain. Check and/or adjust the
chain slack while it's in this tightest
position.
Inspect the drive chain when the
Motorcycle is on the centerstand.
Check the slack at the position
shown in the illustration. Normal
slack is approximately 20 ~ 30 mm.
If the slack exceeds 30 mm, adjust.

CAUTION :
Front fork inspectionSecurely support the Motorcycle
so there is no danger of it falling
over.
1. Visual check
Check for scratches or damage
on the inner tube and traces of oil
leakage from the front fork.2. Operation check
Place the Motorcycle on a level
place.
a. Hold the Motorcycle in an
upright position and apply the
front brake.
b. Push down hard on the
handlebars several times and
check if the fork rebounds
smoothly.
If any damage or unsmooth
movement is found with the front
fork, consult a YAMAHA dealer.
Steering inspectionPeriodically inspect the condition of
the steering. Worn out or loose
steering bearings may be danger-
ous. Place a stand under the engine
to raise the front wheel off the
ground. Hold the lower end of the
front forks and try to move them
forward and backward. If any free
play can be felt, ask a YAMAHA
dealer to inspect and adjust the
steering. Inspection is easier if the
front wheel is removed.
