
Brand-new tires can have a rela-
tively poor grip on certain road
surfaces until they have been
“broken in”. Therefore, it is ad-
visable before doing any
high-speed riding to ride con-
servatively for approximately
100 km (60 mi) after installing a
new tire.

The tires must be warmed up
before a high-speed run.

Always adjust the tire air pres-
sure according to the operatingconditions.

Cast magnesium wheelsTo maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motorcy-
cle, note the following points regarding
these wheels.
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends, warpage or
damage before each ride. If any
damage is found, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair to
the wheel. A deformed or cracked
wheel must be replaced.

The wheel should be balanced
whenever the tire or wheel has
been changed or replaced. An un-
balanced wheel can result in poor
performance, adverse handling
characteristics, and shortened tire
life.
These wheels are made of magnesium
and require special care.

When balancing the wheel, use
press-on type weights to avoid
scratching the wheel.

Regularly inspect the wheel for
nicks and scratches. Use touch-up
paint or other sealant to prevent corrosion.

Follow the instructions for cleaning
provided on page 8-1.
