4-PRE-OPERATION CHECKSOwners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s vital functions can start to deteriorate
quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements). Any damage, fluid leak or
loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important that, in addition to a thorough visual in-
spection, you check the following points before each ride.

WARNING
@ Proper loading of your motorcycle
is important for several characteris-
tics of your motorcycle, such as
handling, braking, performance and
safety. Do not carry loosely packed
items that can shift. Securely pack
your heaviest items close to the
center of the motorcycle, and dis-
tribute the weight evenly from side
to side. Properly adjust the suspen-
sion for your load, and check the
condition and pressure of your tires.
NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR MOTOR-
CYCLE. Make sure the total weight
of the cargo, rider, passenger, and
accessories (fairing, saddlebags,
etc. if approved for this model) does
not exceed the maximum load of the
motorcycle. Operation of an over-
loaded motorcycle could cause tire
damage, an accident, or even injury. @
Tire inspection
Always check the tires before operating
the motorcycle. If center tread depth
reaches the limit as shown, if the tire
has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if
the side wall is cracked, contact a
Yamaha dealer immediately and have
the tire replaced.
EW000095
WA R N I N G
@ Operating the motorcycle with ex-
cessively worn tires decrease riding
stability and can lead to loss of con-
trol. Have excessively worn tires re-
placed by a Yamaha dealer
immediately. Brakes, tires, and relat-
ed wheel parts replacement should
be left to a Yamaha Service Techni-
cian. @CE-26ENOTE:@ These limits may be different by regula-
tion from country to country. If so, con-
form to the limits specified by the
regulations of your own country. @Tire information
This motorcycle is equipped with tube-
less tires, tire valves and cast wheels.
