WheelsTo ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation, note
the following:l
Always inspect the wheels before
a ride. Check for cracks, bends, or
warpage of the wheels. If any ab-
normal condition exists in a wheel,
consult a Yamaha dealer. Do not
attempt even small repairs to the
wheel. If a wheel is deformed or
cracked, it must be replaced.
l
Tires and wheels should be bal-
anced whenever either one is
changed or replaced. Failure to
have a wheel balanced can result
in poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and short-
ened tire life.
l
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be broken in for it to
develop its optimal characteristics.

Clutch lever free play
adjustmentThe clutch lever free play should be ad-
justed to 10 ~ 15 mm.
1. Loosen the locknut at the clutch le-
ver.
2. Turn the adjusting bolt at the

b
to decrease free play.
3. Tighten the locknut at the clutch
lever.If the specified free play cannot be ob-
tained, proceed with the following
steps.
4. Loosen the locknut at the clutch le-
ver.
5. Turn the adjusting bolt at the

a to loos-
en the cable.
6. Loosen the locknut at the crank-
case side.
7. Turn the adjusting nut at the
crankcase in direction
a to in-
crease free play or in direction

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“Energy Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives which
will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in
reduced component life and poor engine performance.
