NEVER
OVERLOAD
THE
SCOOTER! Operation of an
overloaded scooter may result
in tire damage, loss of control,
or severe injury. Make sure
that the total weight of rider,
cargo, and accessories does
not exceed the specified maxi-
mum load for the vehicle.
8
Improper
tire
air
pressure
greatly affects tire life and
handling.
8
If the tire air pressure is too
high, shocks from the road will
not be dampened but instead
be transmitted to the frame
and handlebars, which impairs
riding comfort. In addition, the
scooter will be unstable in
curves.
8
If the tire air pressure is too
low, the tires will be damaged
and the tire life shortened. In
addition, the tires could slip
off the wheel rims during brak-
ing, which could result in tube
damage. The scooter could
also easily turn over in a
curve.
Tire inspection
Always check the tires before operat-
ing the scooter. If a tire tread shows
crosswise
lines
(minimum
tread
depth), if the tire has a nail or glass
fragments in it, or if the sidewall is
cracked, contact a Yamaha dealer
immediately
and
have
the
tire
replaced.
