Checking the accelerator grip Before checking the accelerator grip,
check the following points.
Make sure that the key is in the
“OFF” position. Turn the accelera-
tor grip slowly and check that it
moves smoothly, and returns
smoothly when released.
Check for any signs of deteriora-
tion or damage around the accel-
erator grip. Also check the
accelerator grip holder mounting
bolts for tightness.
When washing the vehicle, avoid
spraying the area around the ac-
celerator grip with water. If the
area around the accelerator grip is
particularly dirty, use a well-wrung
damp cloth to clean.
WARNING
EWA15671
If a problem is found in accelerator
grip operation, do not operate the
vehicle. Have the vehicle inspected
by a Yamaha dealer. Continuing to
use the vehicle with a problem in-
creases the possibility of an acci-dent or equipment damage.
1. Squeeze the rear brake lever with
your left hand.
2. Turn the key to “ON”.
3. Cancel the standby mode by
pressing one of the control but-
tons. (See page 4-3.)
4. Make sure that the operating sta-
tus indicator “RUN” is displayed,
and that the vehicle is in the riding
mode. (See page 7-1 for more in-
formation about “Preparations for
starting off” and “Starting off”.)
5. Check that the accelerator grip
and motor operate smoothly when
the vehicle is accelerated by grad-
ually turning the accelerator grip
while riding the vehicle. If there is a
problem, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be checked
and, if necessary, adjusted before each
ride.
WARNING
EWA10511
Never overload your vehicle. Opera-
tion of an overloaded vehicle couldcause an accident.Tire inspection
The tires must be checked before each
ride. 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.
TIPThe tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always complywith the local regulations.Tire information
This vehicle is equipped with cast
wheels and tube tires.
After extensive tests, only the tires list-
ed below have been approved for this
model by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.
WARNING
EWA10471
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the vehi-
cle with excessively worn tires
decreases riding stability and
can lead to loss of control.
The replacement of all wheel
and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the

Cast wheels
WARNING
EWA10610
The wheels on this model are not de-
signed for use with tubeless tires.
Do not attempt to use tubeless tireson this model.
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
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.

Checking the front and rear
brake shoes Front
RearThe front and rear brake shoes must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Each brake is provid-
ed with a wear indicator, which allows
you to check the brake shoe wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.
To check the brake shoe wear, check
the position of the wear indicator while
applying the brake. If a brake shoe has
worn to the point that the wear indicator
reaches the wear limit line, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake
shoes as a set.

Checking and lubricating the
cables The operation of all control cables and
the condition of the cables should be
checked before each ride, and the ca-
bles and cable ends should be lubricat-
ed if necessary. If a cable is damaged
or does not move smoothly, have a
Yamaha dealer check or replace it.
WARNING! Damage to the outer
housing of cables may result in in-
ternal rusting and cause interfer-
ence with cable movement. Replace
damaged cables as soon as possi-
ble to prevent unsafe condi-
tions.
