When a tire tread begins to show crosswise lines, have a Yamaha dealer replace the tire immediately. ● The replacement of all wheeland brake-related parts, including the tires, should be left to a Yamaha dealer, who has the necessary professional knowledge and experience. ● It is not recommended to patch a punctured tube. If unavoidable, however, patch the tube very carefully and replace it as soon as possible with a highquality product. Spoke wheels To maximize the performance, durability, and safe operation of your motorcycle, 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 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 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. ● Ride at moderate speeds after changing a tire since the tire surface must first be "broken in" for it to develop its optimal characteristics. 6-19
