8 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 side-
wall is cracked, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the tire immediately.
TIPThe tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always com-
ply with the local regulations.
WARNING
EWA10472

Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besi des
b ein g ille gal, operatin g the vehi-
cle with excessively worn tires
d ecreases ri din g sta bility an d
can lead to loss of control.
 The replacement of all wheel
and b rake-relate d parts, inclu d-
in g the tires, shoul d b e left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
e dge an d experience to d o so.
 Ride at mo derate speed s after
chan gin g a tire since the tire
surface must first be “ broken
in” for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.Tire information
This model is equipped with tubeless
tires and tire air valves.
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.
WARNING
EWA16101

The front an d rear tires shoul d
b e of the same make an d d e-
si gn, otherwise the han dlin g
characteristics of the vehicle
may be different, which coul d
lea d to an acci dent.
 Always make sure that the valve
caps are securely installe d to
prevent air pressure leaka ge.
 Use only the tire valves an d
valve cores liste d below to

Cast wheelsTo 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, warp-
age or other 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 de-
formed 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.
 After repairing or replacing the
front tire, tighten the valve stem
nut and locknut to the specified
torques.

lever (page 5-18) functions prop-
erly and that the rear wheel rotates
freely when unlocked.

Checking the rear brake lockThe rear brake lock must be checked
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
1. Adjust the rear brake lock cable.
2. Apply the rear brake lock, and then try to push the vehicle to con-
firm that the rear brake lock func-
tions properly.
3. The rear brake lock caliper is pro- vided with a wear indicator, which
allows you to check the rear brake
lock pads. To check the rear brake
lock pads, check the position of
the indicator when the rear brake
lock lever is applied. If the indica-
tor has passed the wear indicator
groove, have a Yamaha dealer
check the rear brake lock.
4. Make sure that there are no tears or cracks on the rubber boot.

Drive b eltThe drive belt should be visually in-
spected before each ride. Check for
excessive wear, damage, and dirt. Al-
so, the drive belt tension must be
checked and adjusted by a Yamaha
dealer at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance chart.
To check the drive belt
1. On a level surface, place the vehi- cle on its centerstand.
2. Rotate the rear wheel and check the belt surface for signs of wear
or damage. 3. If cracks, excessive wear, or dam-
age is found, have the belt in-
spected or replaced by your
Yamaha dealer.
4. If the drive belt or drive belt sprocket is dirty, remove the drive
belt covers by removing the bolts
and quick fasteners.
5. Clean the drive belt and remove any debris from the drive belt
sprocket. NOTICE: Do not allow
d irt or san d to accumulate in the
d rive belt area, otherwise the
d rive belt will wear out quickly.

lyte or to add distilled water. However,
the battery lead connections need to
be checked and, if necessary, tight-
ened.

CareFrequent, thorough cleaning of the ve-
hicle will not only enhance its appear-
ance but also will improve its general
performance and extend the useful life
of many components. Washing, clean-
ing, and polishing will also give you a
chance to inspect the condition of the
vehicle more frequently. Be sure to
wash the vehicle after riding in the rain
or near the sea, because salt is corro-
sive to metals.TIP The roads of heavy snowfall areas
may be sprayed with salt as a de-
icing method. This salt can stay on
the roads well into spring, so be
sure to wash the underside and
chassis parts after riding in such
areas.
 Genuine Yamaha care and main-
tenance products are sold under
the YAMALUBE brand in many
markets worldwide.
 See your Yamaha dealer for addi-
tional cleaning tips.
