PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
6 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 sidewall
is cracked, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the tire immediately.

Because loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking, per-
formance and safety characteristics of
your scooter, you should keep the
following precautions in mind.
•NEVER OVERLOAD THE SCOO-
TER! Operation of an overloaded
scooter may result in tire damage,
loss of control, or severe injury.
Make sure that the total weight of
rider, cargo, and accessories
does not exceed the specified
maximum load for the vehicle.
•Do not carry along loosely
packed items, which can shift
during a ride.
•Securely pack the heaviest items
close to the center of the scooter
and distribute the weight evenly
on both sides.
•Adjust the suspension and tire air
pressure with regard to the load.
•Check the tire condition and air
pressure before each ride.

•Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the
scooter with excessively worn
tires decreases riding stability
and can lead to loss of control.
•The replacement of all wheel
and brake related parts,
including the tires, should be
left to a Yamaha dealer, who has
the necessary professional
knowledge and experience.
