WARNING

EWA10581

● It is dangerous to ride with a

worn-out tire. When a tire tread

begins to show crosswise lines,

have a Yamaha dealer replace

the tire immediately.

● The replacement of all wheel-

and brake-related parts, includ-

ing the tires, should be left to a

Yamaha dealer, who has the

necessary professional knowl-

edge and experience to do so.

● Ride at moderate speeds after

changing a tire since the tire

surface must first be “broken

in” for it to develop its optimal

characteristics.

Tire information

This motorcycle is equipped with tube-

less tires, tire air valves and cast

wheels.

Tires age, even if they have not been

used or have only been used occasion-

ally. Cracking of the tread and sidewall

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.

WARNING

EWA10461

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 Motor Co., Ltd.

EAU21962

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.
