PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

EAU21960

Cast wheels

To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the following points regard-
ing the specified wheels.

8 The wheel rims should be checked

for cracks, bends or warpage be-
fore each ride. If any damage is
found, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the wheel. Do not attempt
even the smallest repair to the
wheel. A deformed or cracked wheel
must be replaced.

8 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 handling
characteristics, and a shortened
tire life.

8 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.
