•
This motorcycle is fitted with
super-high-speed tires. Note the
following points in order to make
the most efficient use of these
tires.
•
Use only the specified replace-
ment tires. Other tires may run the
danger of bursting at super high
speeds.
•
Brand-new tires can have a rela-
tively poor grip on certain road
surfaces until they have been
“broken in”.
•
Therefore, it is advisable before
doing any high-speed riding to
ride conservatively for approxi-
mately 100 km (60 mi) after
installing a new tire.
•
The tires must be warmed up
before a high-speed run.
•
Always adjust the tire air pressure
according to the operating condi-
tions.

Cast wheels
To maximize the performance, durability,
and safe operation of your motorcycle,
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be checked for
cracks, bends or warpage before each
ride. If any damage is found, have a Yama-
ha dealer replace the wheel. Do not at-
tempt even the smallest repair to the
wheel. A deformed or cracked wheel must
be replaced.
The wheel should be balanced whenever
either the tire or wheel has been changed
or replaced. An unbalanced wheel can re-
sult in poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a shortened tire
life.
