sport mode YAMAHA TZR50 2012 Owners Manual

Transporting the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the
motorcycle in another vehicle.
Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the “OFF” posi-
tion and that there are no fuel
leaks.
Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.
Shift the transmission in gear (for
models with a manual transmis-
sion).
Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the
motorcycle, such as the frame or
upper front fork triple clamp (and
not, for example, to rubber-
mounted handlebars or turn sig-
nals, or parts that could break).
Choose the location for the
straps carefully so the straps will
not rub against painted surfaces
during transport.
The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the
motorcycle will not bounce
excessively during transport.

Tire inspection
1. Tire tread depth
2. Tire sidewall
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 Yama-
ha dealer replace the tire immediately.
TIP
The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always
comply with the local regulations.
Tire information
This motorcycle is equipped with
tubeless tires, tire air valves and cast
wheels.
EWA10461
The front and rear tires should be of
the same make and design, other-
wise the handling characteristics of
the vehicle may be different, which
could lead to an accident.
After extensive tests, only the tires lis-
ted below have been approved for
this model by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.
EWA10471
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the
vehicle with excessively worn
tires decreases riding stability
and can lead to loss of control.
The replacement of all wheel
and brake-related parts, inclu-
ding the tires, should be left to
a Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional know-
ledge and experience to do so.
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be “broken
in” for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.
