Spoke wheels
To maximize the performance, dura-
bility, and safe operation of your
motorcycle, note the following points
regarding the specified wheels.
8 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.
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 charac-
teristics.
