To maximize the performance, durabil- ity, and safe operation of your motor- cycle, note the following points regarding the specified wheels.
●The wheel rims should be checked for cracks, bends or warpage, and the spokes for looseness or dam- age before each ride. If any dam- age 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 either the tire or wheel has been changed or replaced. An unbalanced wheel can result in poor performance, adverse han- dling characteristics, and a short- ened tire life.
●Ride at moderate speeds after changing a tire since the tire sur- face must first be “broken in” for it to develop its optimal characteris- tics.
