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.
EWA10462

Wheels
To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points.
Check each wheel for cracks, de-
formation and other damage. If
any damage is found, have the
wheel inspected by your Yamaha
dealer. Do not attempt to repair or
straighten a bent or damaged
wheel.
For spoke wheel-equipped mod-
els, check the spokes for loose-
ness. If any loose spokes are
found, have the wheel adjusted by
your Yamaha dealer. Improperly
tightened spokes can cause
wheel misalignment.
Have the wheel balanced whenev-
er the tire or tube has been re-
placed. An unbalanced wheel can
result in adverse handling charac-
teristics and shortened tire life.
EWA20560
To avoid tire slippage and personal
injury, use only the specified type of
tire for each wheel.
