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.

Spoke wheelsTo maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of the 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.
Check the spokes for looseness. If
any loose spokes are found, have
the wheel adjusted by your
Yamaha dealer. Improperly tight- ened 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.
WARNING
EWA10611
The wheels on this mo del are not
d esi gne d for use with tu beless tires.
Do not attempt to use tub eless tires
on this mo del.

Checkin g the brake lever free
playThere should be no free play at the
brake lever end. If there is free play,
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
brake system.
WARNING
EWA14212
A soft or spon gy feelin g in the b rake
lever can in dicate the presence of
air in the hy draulic system. If there is
air in the hy draulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer blee d the system be-
fore operatin g the vehicle. Air in the
hy draulic system will diminish the b
rakin g performance, which may re-
sult in loss of control and an acci-
d ent.

Brake li ght switchesThe brake light should come on just
before braking takes effect. The brake
light is activated by switches connect-

Front brake pad s
Each front brake pad is provided with
wear indicator grooves, which allow
you to check the brake pad wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.
To check the brake pad wear, check
the wear indicator grooves. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that the wear indicator grooves have almost disap-
peared, have a Yamaha dealer replace
the brake pads as a set.

Improper maintenance can result in
loss of brakin g a bility. O bserve
these precautions: Insufficient brake flui d may al-
low air to enter the b rake sys-
tem, re ducin g brakin g

Clean the filler cap before re-
moving . Use only DOT 4 b rake
flui d from a seale d container.
Use only the specified b rake flu-
i d ; otherwise, the ru bber seals
may deteriorate, causin g leak-
a g e.
Refill with the same type of
brake flui d. A ddin g a brake flui d
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
Be careful that water or dust
d oes not enter the brake flui d
reservoir when refillin g. Water
will si gnificantly lower the boil-

NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake flui d may damag e painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spille d flui d imme diately.As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. If the brake fluid level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause before further riding.

Drive chain slackThe drive chain slack should be
checked before each ride and adjusted
if necessary.
EAU60046
To check the drive chain slack
1. Place the motorcycle on the side- stand.TIPWhen checking and adjusting the drive
chain slack, there should be no weight
on the motorcycle.2. Shift the transmission into the neutral position.
3. Push down on the drive chain un- der the end of the drive chain
guard.
4. Measure distance A between the drive chain guard and the center
of the chain as shown. 5. If distance A is incorrect, adjust it
as follows. NOTICE: Improper
d rive chain slack will overloa d
the en gine as well as other vital
parts of the motorcycle an d can
lea d to chain slippa ge or b reak-
a g e. If distance A is more than
55.0 mm (2.24 in), the chain can
d ama ge the frame, swin garm,
an d other parts. To prevent this
from occurrin g, keep the d rive
chain slack within the specifie d
limits.
