Aftermarket parts, accessories, and modifications
While you may find aftermarket products similar in design and quality to genuine Yamaha Acces-
sories, recognize that some aftermarket accessori es or modifications are not suitable because
of potential safety hazards to yo u or others. Installing aftermarke t products or having other mod-
ifications performed to your Wolv erine that change any of the vehicle’s design or operation char-
acteristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible
for injuries related to changes in the vehicle.

pabilities and to provide the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. Other tires,
rims, sizes, and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to page 8-45 for tire specifications
and more information on replacing your tires.U2MB7BE0.book Page 7 Thursday, March 3, 2016 11:46 AM
