WARNING
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating
vehicle with excessively worn
tires decreases riding stability
and can lead to loss of control.
The replacement of all wheel and
brake-related parts, including
the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional
knowledge and experience to do
so.
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be "broken in"
for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.
