ride. If the center tread depth reaches
the specified limit, if the tire has a nail
or glass fragments in it, or if the side-
wall is cracked, have a Yamaha dealer

TIPThe tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always com-
ply with the local regulations.

rubber, sometimes accompanied by
carcass deformation, is an evidence of ageing. Old and aged tires shall be
checked by tire specialists to ascertain
their suitability for further use.
