Periodic maintenance and adjustment
1
Cast wheels
To maximize the performance, durabil-
2
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points regarding the
3
specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends, warpage or oth-
4
er damage before each ride. If any
damage is found, have a Yamaha
5
dealer replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair to
6
the wheel. A deformed or cracked
wheel must be replaced.
7
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
8
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
9
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
10
ened tire life.
