Cast Wheels; Checking The Front And Rear Brake Pads - Yamaha XMAX 125i 2005 Owner's Manual

Cast wheels

To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your
motorcycle, note the following points
regarding the specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be chec-
ked for cracks, bends or warpage
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 crac-
ked 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 sur-
face must first be "broken in" for
it to develop its optimal characte-
ristics.
