Tires
Tires are the only contact between the
vehicle and the road. Safety in all con-
ditions of riding depends on a relatively
small area of road contact. Therefore, it
is essential to maintain the tires in good
condition at all times and replace them
at the appropriate time with the speci-
fied tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted
before each ride.
WARNING
EWA14382
Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause se-
vere injury or death from loss of
control.  The tire air pressure must be
checked and a djuste d on col d
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the am bient
temperature).
 The tire air pressure must be
a d juste d in accor dance with the
wei ght of the ri der, the ri din g
speed , and the ri din g con di-
tions.
Tire inspection
The tires must be checked before each
ride.
NOTICE
ECA15582
 Make sure the bead stopper is
ti g htene d. A loose b ead stopper
will cause the tire to slip off the
rim if tire pressure is too low.
 Make sure the valve stem is po-
sitione d straig ht. A tilte d valve
stem in dicates that the tire has
slippe d from its ori ginal position
on the rim. Rotate the tire so
that the valve stem is positioned
straig ht.
If the center tread depth reaches the
specified limit, if the tire has a nail or
glass fragments in it, or if the sidewall
is cracked, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the tire immediately.

Stora ge
Always store the vehicle in a cool, dry
place. If necessary, protect it against
dust with a porous cover. Be sure the
engine and the exhaust system are
cool before covering the vehicle. If the
vehicle often sits for weeks at a time
between uses, the use of a quality fuel
stabilizer is recommended after each
fill-up.
NOTICE
ECA21170
 Storin g the vehicle in a poorly
ventilate d room or coverin g it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water an d humi dity to
seep in an d cause rust.
 To prevent corrosion, avoi d
d amp cellars, sta bles ( because
of the presence of ammonia)
an d areas where stron g chemi-
cals are stored .
Long term stora ge
Before storing the vehicle long term (60
days or more): 1. Make all necessary repairs and perform any outstanding mainte-
nance.
2. Follow all instructions in the Care Section of this chapter.
3. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer according to product in-
structions.
4. Run the engine for 5 minutes to distribute treated fuel through the
fuel system.
5. For vehicles with a fuel cock: Turn the fuel cock lever to the off posi-
tion. 6. For vehicles with a carburetor: To
prevent fuel deposits from build-
ing up, drain the fuel in the carbu-
retor float chamber into a clean
container. Retighten the drain bolt
and pour the fuel back into the fuel
tank.
7. Use a quality engine fogging oil according to product instructions.
If engine fogging oil is not avail-
able, perform the following steps
for each cylinder:a. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit spark-
ing during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter or kick-
starter. (This will coat the cylin-
der wall with oil.) WARNING!
To prevent d amage or injury
from sparkin g, make sure to
g roun d the spark plu g elec-
tro des while turning the en-
g ine over.
[EWA10952]
e. Remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.
8. Lubricate all control cables, piv- ots, levers and pedals, as well as
the sidestand and centerstand (if
equipped).
9. Check and correct the tire air pressure, and then lift the vehicle
so that all wheels are off the
