Valve clearance
The valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper air-fuel mixture
and/or engine noise. To prevent this
from occurring, the valve clearance
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
EAU40916
Tires
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 speci-
fied tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted
before each ride.
WARNING
EWA15371
Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause se-
vere injury or d eath from loss of
control.
The tire air pressure must be
checked and a djuste d on col d tires
(i.e., when the temperature of the
tires equals the am bient tempera-
ture).
Stan dar d tire air pressure:
Front: 100 kPa (1.00 kgf/cm², 15 psi)
Rear:
100 kPa (1.00 kgf/cm², 15 psi)

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.
Tire information
This model is equipped with tube tires.
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
EWA10462
The front an
d rear tires shoul d b e of
the same make an d d esi gn, other-
wise the han dlin g characteristics of
the vehicle may be different, which
coul d lea d to an acci dent.
After extensive tests, only the tires list-
ed below have been approved for this
model by Yamaha.
WARNING
EWA15542
 Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Operat-
in g the motorcycle with exces-
sively worn tires decreases
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 dg e an d experience.
 It is not recommen ded to patch
a puncture d tu be. If unavoi d-
a b le, however, patch the tu be
very carefully an d replace it as
soon as possi ble with a hi gh-
quality pro duct.
 Ride conservatively after
chan gin g a tire since the tire
must seat itself on the rim prop-
erly. Failure to allow proper
seatin g may cause tire failure,
which may result in damag e to
the motorcycle an d injury to the
ri der.

Spoke wheels
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 tu beless tires
on this mo del.
To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the following points
regarding the specified wheels.
 The wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends, warp-
age or other damage, and the
spokes for looseness or damage
before each ride. If any damage is
found, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place 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.

Front
Rear
The 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 indica-
tor reaches the wear limit line, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake shoes as a set.

Drive chain slack
The drive chain slack should be
checked before each ride and adjusted
if necessary.
EAU22776To check the d rive chain slack
1. Place the motorcycle on the side- stand.
TIP
When checking and adjusting the drive
chain slack, there should be no weight
on the motorcycle.
2. Shift the transmission into the neutral position.
3. Measure the drive chain slack as shown.
4. If the drive chain slack is incorrect, adjust it as follows.

The operation of the throttle grip
should be checked before each ride. In
addition, the cable should be lubricat-

The throttle cable is equipped with a
rubber cover. Make sure that the cover
is securely installed. Even though the
cover is installed correctly, it does not
completely protect the cable from wa-
ter entry. Therefore, use care not to
pour water directly onto the cover or
cable when washing the vehicle. If the
cable or cover becomes dirty, wipe
clean with a moist cloth.
