1. It is dangerous to ride with a worn-out tire. When
the tire tread begin to show signs of wear, replace
the tire immediately. Brakes, tires and related wheel
parts should be left to a Yamaha dealer.
2. Patching 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.
Fitting/Fasteners
Alway check the tightness of chassis fittings and fasteners
before a ride. Use the chart on page 6-5 to find the correct
torque.
Switches
Check the operation of the starter switch, main switch,
ì Engine Stopî switch.
WARNING:Wheels
To ensure maximum performance, long service, and safe
operation, note the following:
1. Always 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 dealer or
other qualified mechanic. Do not attempt even small
repairs to the wheel. If a wheel is deformed or cracked,
it must be replaced.
2. Tires 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 characteristics, and shortened tire life.
3. After installing a tire, ride conservatively to allow the
tire to seat itself on the rim properly. Failure to allow
proper seating may cause tire failure, resulting in
damage to the motorcycle and injury to the rider.

3. Loosen the chain adjusting locknuts on each chain
puller. To tighten the chain, turn the chain adjusting nuts
in direction a .To loosen the chain turn the chain
adjusting nuts in direction b and push the wheel
forward. Turn each chain adjusting nut exactly the same
amount to maintain correct axle alignment. There are
marks on each chain puller. Use these marks to align
the rear wheel.Too little chain slack will overload the engine and other vital
parts. Keep the slack within the specified limits.
To maintain correct axle alignment, Ensure the notch on
the adjuster is on the same mark on left and right side
4. After adjusting, be sure to tighten each chain adjusting
locknut. The tighten the axle nut to the specified torque
