8Always use the size and type of tires specified
in this manual.
8Always maintain proper tire pressure as
described in this manual.
8Never modify an ATV through improper instal-
lation or use of accessories.
8Never exceed the stated load capacity for an
ATV. Cargo should be properly distributed

Tires
Always use the recommended tires.
w
Use of improper tires on this ATV, or opera-
tion of this ATV with improper or uneven tire
pressure, may cause loss of control, increas-
ing your risk of accident.
Pay attention to the following.
1. The tires listed below have been approved
by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. for this model.
Other tire combinations are not recom-
mended.

2. The tires should be set to the recommend-
ed pressure:
8Recommended tire pressure
Front 27.5 kPa (0.275 kgf/cm
2, 0.275 bar)
Rear 27.5 kPa (0.275 kgf/cm2, 0.275 bar)
8Check and adjust tire pressures when the
tires are cold.
8Tire pressures must be equal on both
sides.
3. Tire pressure below the minimum speci-
fied could cause the tire to dislodge from
the rim under severe riding conditions.
The following are minimums:
Front 24.5 kPa (0.245 kgf/cm
2, 0.245 bar)
Rear 24.5 kPa (0.245 kgf/cm2, 0.245 bar)
4. Use no more than the following pressures
when seating the tire beads.
Front 250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm
2, 2.5 bar)
Rear 250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm2, 2.5 bar)
Higher pressures may cause the tire to
burst. Inflate the tires very slowly and
carefully. Fast inflation could cause the
tire to burst.

How to measure tire pressure
Use the low-pressure tire gauge.
NOTE:
The low-pressure tire gauge is included as stan-
dard equipment. Make two measurements of the
tire pressure and use the second reading. Dust
or dirt in the gauge could cause the first reading
to be incorrect.
Set pressure with tires cold.
Set tire pressures to the following specifications:

w
Always use the size and type tires specified
in the Owner’s Manual for this vehicle on
pages 5-25–5-27. Always maintain proper tire
pressure as described in the Owner’s Manual
on page 5-29. Use of improper tires on this
ATV, or operation of this ATV with improper
or uneven tire pressure, may cause loss of
control, increasing your risk of an accident.
Do not operate at speeds too fast for your
skills or the conditions.
w
Always go at a speed that is proper for the
terrain, visibility and operating conditions,
and your experience. Operating this ATV at
speeds too fast for your skills or the condi-
tions increases your chances of losing con-
trol of the ATV, which can result in an acci-
dent.

Owner’s manual and tool kit
You are recommended to put this owner’s man-
ual and low-pressure tire gauge in the vinyl bag
and always carry them along with the owner’s
tool kit under the seat. The service information
included in this manual is intended to provide
you, the owner, with the necessary information
for completing your own preventive maintenance
and minor repairs. The tools provided in the
owner’s tool kit are sufficient for this purpose,
except that a torque wrench is also necessary to
properly tighten nuts and bolts.
NOTE:
If you do not have a torque wrench available
during a service operation requiring one, take
your machine to a Yamaha dealer to check the
torque settings and adjust them as necessary.
