1 Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
vehicle were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to pro-
vide the best combination of handling,
braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims,
sizes, and combinations may not be
appropriate. Refer to page 6-17 for tire
specifications and more information on
replacing your tires.
Transporting the Vehicle
Be sure to observe the following in-
structions before transporting the vehi-
cle in another vehicle.
zRemove all loose items from the
vehicle.
zPoint the front wheels straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.
zSecure the vehicle with tie-downs
or suitable straps that are at-
tached to solid parts of the vehi-
cle, such as the frame or upper
front fork triple clamp (and not, for
example, to rubber-mounted han-
dlebars or turn signals, or parts
that could break). Choose the lo-
cation for the straps carefully so
the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.
zThe suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the ve-
hicle will not bounce excessively
during transport.
EAU60590
Further safe-riding points
zBe sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
zBraking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard braking,
because the vehicle could slide.
Apply the brakes slowly when
stopping on a wet surface.
zSlow down as you approach a
corner or turn. Once you have
completed a turn, accelerate
slowly.
zBe careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you
and open a door in your path.
zRailroad crossings, streetcar rails,
iron plates on road construction
sites, and manhole covers be-
come extremely slippery when
wet. Slow down and cross them
with caution. Keep the vehicle up-
right, otherwise it could slide out
from under you.
zThe brake pads or linings could
get wet when you wash the vehi-
cle. After washing the vehicle,
check the brakes before riding.
zAlways wear a helmet, gloves,
trousers (tapered around the cuff
and ankle so they do not flap), and
a brightly colored jacket.
zDo not carry too much luggage on
the vehicle. An overloaded vehicle
is unstable. Use a strong cord to
secure any luggage to the carrier
(if equipped). A loose load will af-
fect the stability of the vehicle and
could divert your attention from
the road. (See page 1-3.)

WARNING
EWA10462
The front and rear tires should be of
the same make and design, other-
wise the handling characteristics of
the vehicle may be different, which
could lead to an accident.
After extensive tests, only the tires list-
ed below have been approved for this
model by Yamaha.
EAU61160
Cast wheels
To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.
zThe wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends, warp-
age or other 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 de-
formed or cracked wheel must be
replaced.
zThe front wheels should be bal-
anced whenever either the tires or
wheels have been changed or re-
placed. An unbalanced wheel can
result in poor performance, ad-
verse handling characteristics,
and a shortened tire life.
