    c. Loosen the lower ring nut “4” completely, 
    then tighten it to specification.
    WARNING
    EWA13140
    Do not overtighten the lower ring nut.
    d. Check the steering head for looseness or 
    binding by turning the front fork all the way 
    in both directions. If any binding is felt, 
    remove the lower bracket and check the 
    upper and lower bearings.
    Refer to STEERING HEAD on page 4-59.
    e. Install the rubber washer “3”.
    f. Install the upper ring nut “2”.
    g. Finger tighten the upper ring nut “2”, then 
    align the slots of both ring nuts. If neces-
    sary, hold the lower ring nut and tighten the 
    upper ring nut until their slots are aligned.
    h. Install the lock washer “1”.
    NOTE:
    Make sure the lock washer tabs “a” sit correctly 
    in the ring nut slots “b”.

    WARNING
    EWA13180
     The tire pressure should only be checked 
    and regulated when the tire temperature 
    equals the ambient air temperature.
     The tire pressure and the suspension 
    must be adjusted according to the total 
    weight (including cargo, rider, passenger 
    and accessories) and the anticipated 
    riding speed.
     Operation of an overloaded vehicle could 
    cause tire damage, an accident or an 
    injury.
    NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHICLE.
    WARNING
    EWA13190
    It is dangerous to ride with a worn-out tire. 
    When the tire tread reaches the wear limit, 
    replace the tire immediately.
    2. Check:
     Tire surfacesDamage/wear → Replace the tire.
    WARNING
    EWA14080
     Do not use a tubeless tire on a wheel 
    designed only for tube tires to avoid tire 
    failure and personal injury from sudden 
    deflation.
     When using a tube tire, be sure to install 
    the correct tube.
     Always replace a new tube tire and a new 
    tube as a set.
     To avoid pinching the tube, make sure the 
    wheel rim band and tube are centered in 
    the wheel groove.
     Patching a punctured tube is not recom-
    mended. If it is absolutely necessary to 
    do so, use great care and replace the tube 
    as soon as possible with a good quality 
    replacement.

    WARNING
    EWA14090
    After extensive tests, the tires listed below 
    have been approved by Yamaha Motor Co., 
    Ltd. for this model. The front and rear tires 
    should always be by the same manufac-
    turer and of the same design. No guarantee 
    concerning handling characteristics can be 
    given if a tire combination other than one 
    approved by Yamaha is used on this vehi-
    cle.
    WARNING
    EWA13210
    New tires have a relatively low grip on the 
    road surface until they have been slightly 
    worn. Therefore, approximately 100 km 
    should be traveled at normal speed before 
    any high-speed riding is done.
    NOTE:
    For tires with a direction of rotation mark “1”:
     Install the tire with the mark pointing in the 
    direction of wheel rotation.
     Align the mark “2” with the valve installation 
    point.
    EAS21670
    CHECKING THE WHEELS
    The following procedure applies to both of the 
    wheels.
    1. Check:
     Wheel
    Damage/out-of-round → Replace.
    WARNING
    EWA13260
    Never attempt to make any repairs to the 
    wheel.
    NOTE:
    After a tire or wheel has been changed or 
    replaced, always balance the wheel.
    EAS21690
    CHECKING AND LUBRICATING THE 
    CABLES
    The following procedure applies to all of the 
    inner and outer cables.
    WARNING
    EWA13270
    Damaged outer cable may cause the cable 
    to corrode and interfere with its movement. 
    Replace damaged outer cable and inner 
    cables as soon as possible.
    1. Check:
     Outer cable
    Damage → Replace.
    2. Check:
     Cable operation
    Rough movement → Lubricate.
    NOTE:
    Hold the cable end upright and pour a few 
    drops of lubricant into the cable sheath or use 
    a suitable lubricating device.
