ageing. Old and aged tires shall be
checked by tire spec
ialists to ascertain
their suitability for further use.
WARNING
EWA16100
The front and rear tires should
be of the same make and de-
sign, otherwise the handling
characteristics of the vehicle
may be different, which could
lead to an accident.
Always make sure that the valve
caps are securely installed to
prevent air pressure leakage.
Use only the tire valves and
valve cores listed below toavoid tire deflation during a ride.
After extensive tests, only the tires list-
ed below have been approved for this
model by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.
EAU51920
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, warpage or oth-
er damage before each ride. If any
damage is found, have a Yamaha
dealer replace 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.
After repairing or replacing the
front tire, tighten the valve stem nut
and locknut to the specified
torques.
