WARNING
_
This motorcycle is fitted with super-
high-speed tires. Note the following
points in order to make the most ef-
ficient use of these tires.
G
Use only the specified replace-
ment tires. Other tires may run
the danger of bursting at super
Model
high speeds.
G
Brand-new tires can have a rela-
BT020FN
tively poor grip on certain road
surfaces until they have been
Model
"broken in". Therefore, it is ad-
MEZ4J
visable before doing any high-
BT020RN
speed riding to ride conserva-
tively for approximately 100 km
after installing a new tire.

regarding the specified wheels.

note the following
G
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends or warpage be-
fore each ride. If any damage is
found, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the wheel. Do not attempt
even the smallest repair to the
wheel. A deformed or cracked
wheel must be replaced.
G
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 han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
G Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be "broken in" for it
to develop its optimal characteris-
tics.
