Tire inspection

Always check the tires before operating

the motorcycle. If a tire tread shows

crosswise lines (minimum tread depth),

if the tire has a nail or glass fragments

in it, or if the sidewall is cracked, con-

tact a Yamaha dealer immediately and

have the tire replaced.

WARNING

EWA10562

● 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.

● It is not recommended to patch

a punctured tube. If unavoid-

able, however, patch the tube

very carefully and replace it as

soon as possible with a high-

quality product.

● Ride at moderate speeds after

changing a tire since the tire

surface must first be “broken

in” for it to develop its optimal

characteristics.
