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 specified tires.
The tire air pressure should be check-
ed and, if necessary, adjusted before
each ride.
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 adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the ambient
temperature).
The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with the
riding speed and with the total

Yamaha dealer immediately and have
the tire replaced.

and rear):
