properly retracted, it could contact
the ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss of
control. Yamaha has designed into
this motorcycle a lockout system
to assist the operator in fulfilling
the responsibility of retracting the
sidestand. Please check carefully
the operating instructions listed
below and if there is any indication
of a malfunction, return the motor-
cycle to a Yamaha dealer immedi-
ately for repair.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
EAU00685Wheels
To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation,
note the following:
8Always inspect the wheels
before a ride. Check for cracks,
bends or warpage of the
wheel. Be sure the spokes are
tight and undamaged. If any
abnormal condition exists in a
wheel, consult a Yamaha deal-
er. Do not attempt even small
repairs to the wheel. If a wheel
is deformed or cracked, it must
be replaced.
8Tires and wheels should be
balanced whenever either one
is changed or replaced. Failure
to have a wheel balanced can
result in poor performance,
adverse handling characteris-
tics, and shortened tire life.8Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be broken in
for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.

8Check the brake lever free
play. Be sure the brake is
working properly.
8A soft or spongy feeling in the
brake lever can indicate the
presence of air in the brake
system. This air must be
removed by bleeding the
brake system before the
motorcycle is operated. Air in
the system will cause greatly
diminished braking capability
and can result in loss of con-
trol and an accident. Have a
Yamaha dealer inspect and
bleed the system if necessary.
