TiresTo maximize the performance, dura-
bility, and safe operation of your
motorcycle, note the following points
regarding the specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted
before each ride.
EW000082
w8The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the tempera-
ture of the tires equals the
ambient temperature).
8The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with
the riding speed and with the
total weight of rider, passen-
ger, cargo, and accessories
approved for this model.

Cast wheelsTo maximize the performance, dura-
bility, and safe operation of your
motorcycle, note the following points
regarding the specified wheels.
8The wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends or
warpage 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.
8The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced.
An unbalanced wheel can result
in poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and a
shortened tire life.
8Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be Òbroken inÓ for
it to develop its optimal charac-
teristics.

EW000099
w8After adjusting the brake lever
free play, check the free play
and make sure that the brake
is working properly.
8A soft or spongy feeling in the
brake lever can indicate the
presence of air in the
hydraulic system. If there is air
in the hydraulic system, have
a Yamaha dealer bleed the
system before operating the
motorcycle. Air in the
hydraulic system will diminish
the braking performance,
which may result in loss of
control and an accident.
7.Tighten the locknut at the clutch
lever and the crankcase.
