2008 YAMAHA TZR50 tire pressure

EAU15591
The condition of a vehicle is the
owner’s responsibility. Vital compo-
nents can start to deteriorate quickly
and unexpectedly, even if the vehicle
remains unused (for example, as a
result of exposure to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leakage or loss of
tire air pressure could have serious
consequences. Therefore, it is very
important, in addition to a thorough
visual inspection, to check the follo-
wing points before each ride.
NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be
made each time the vehicle is used.
Such an inspection can be accom-
plished in a very short time; and the
added safety it assures is more than
worth the time involved.

WARNING
If any item in the Pre-operation
check list is not working properly,

Tires
To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your
motorcycle, note the following points
regarding the specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be chec-
ked and, if necessary, adjusted befo-
re each ride.
EWA10500
s s
WARNING
The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperatu-
re of the tires equals the
ambient temperature).
The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with
the riding speed and with the
total weight of rider, passenger,
cargo, and accessories appro-
ved for this model.EWA11020
s s
WARNING
Because loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking,
performance and safety characte-
ristics of your motorcycle, you
should keep the following precau-
tions in mind.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE
MOTORCYCLE! Operation of
an overloaded motorcycle may
result in tire damage, loss ofcontrol, or severe injury. Make
sure that the total weight of
rider, passenger, cargo, and
accessories does not exceed
the specified maximum load
for the vehicle.
Do not carry along loosely pac-
ked items, which can shift
during a ride.
Securely pack the heaviest
items close to the center of the
motorcycle and distribute the
weight evenly on both sides.
Adjust the suspension and tire
air pressure with regard to the
load.
Check the tire condition and air
pressure before each ride.
Tire air pressure (measured on cold
tires):
Up to 90 kg (198 lb):
Front:
180 kPa (25 psi) (1.8 kgf/cm
2)
Rear:
200 kPa (28 psi) (2.0 kgf/cm
2)
90 kg (198 lb) to maximum load:
Front:
190 kPa (27 psi) (1.9 kgf/cm
2)
Rear:
230 kPa (33 psi) (2.3 kgf/cm
2)
Maximum load*:
196 kg (432.18 lb)
* Total weight of rider, passenger,
cargo and accessories

WARNING
To prevent damage or injury from
sparking, make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while turning
the engine over.
6. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers
and pedals as well as of the
sidestand/centerstand.
7. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the motorcycle so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alter-
natively, turn the wheels a little
every month in order to prevent
the tires from becoming degra-
ded in one spot.
8. Cover the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering it.
9. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and charge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in
an excessively cold or warm pla-
ce [less than 0 °C (30 °F) or more
than 30 °C (90 °F)]. For moreinformation on storing the bat-
tery, see page 6-27.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle.
