8Operating the motorcycle with
excessively worn tires
decrease riding stability and
can lead to loss of control.
Have excessively worn tires
replaced by a Yamaha dealer
immediately. Brakes, tires, and
related wheel parts replace-
ment should be left to a
Yamaha Service Technician.
8Patching a punctured tube is
not recommended. If it is
absolutely necessary to do so,
use great care and replace the
tube as soon as possible with
a good quality replacement.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
7-3
After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a
chamois or an absorbing cloth.
2. Immediately dry the drive
chain and lubricate it to pre-
vent it from rusting.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stain-
less-steel parts, including the
exhaust system. (Even the
thermally induced discoloring
of stainless-steel exhaust sys-
tems can be removed through
polishing.)
4. To prevent corrosion, it is rec-
ommended to apply a corro-
sion protection spray on all
(even chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed) metal surfaces.
5. Use spray oil as a universal
cleaner to remove any remain-
ing dirt.
6. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
7. Wax all painted surfaces.
8. Let the motorcycle dry com-
pletely before storing it or cov-
ering it.EWA00001
w
Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes and tires. If nec-
essary, clean the brake discs and
linings with a regular brake disc
cleaner or acetone, and wash the
tires with warm water and mild
soap. Then, carefully test the
motorcycle for its braking perfor-
mance and cornering behavior.

8Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and wipe off any excess.
8Never apply oil or wax on rub-
ber and plastic parts, but treat
them with a suitable care
product.
8Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they wear
away the paint.
NOTE:
Consult a Yamaha dealer for
advice on what products to use.
