1. Measure: tire pressure
Out of specification → Regulate.

Warning!
- 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 motorcycle could cause tire damage, an accident or an injury.
- NEVER OVERLOAD THE MOTORCYCLE.
Basic weight: (with oil and full fuel tank) | 274 kg | |
Maximum load*: | 201 kg | |
Cold tire pressure: | Front | Rear |
Up to 90 kg load* | 200 kPa (2.00 kgf/cm²) | 225 kPa (2.25 kgf/cm²) |
90 kg·maximum load* | 225 kPa (2.25 kgf/cm²) | 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm²) |
High speed riding | 225 kPa (2.25 kgf/cm²) | 250 kPa (2,50 kgf/cm²) |
* total of cargo, rider, passenger and accessories
Warning! It is dangerous to ride with a worn-out tire. When the tire tread reaches the wear limit, replace the tire immediately.
2. Check:ire surfaces
Damage/wear → Replace the tire.
- Minimum tire tread depth 1.6 mm

Warning!
- 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 that the wheel rim band and tube are centered in the wheel groove.
- Patching a punctured tube is not recommended. If it is absolutely necessary to do so, use great care and replace the tube as soon as possible with a good quality replacement.
- Tube wheel: Tubeless wheel
- Tube tire only: Tube or tubeless tire
- After extensive tests, the tires listed below have been approved by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. for this model. Then front and rear tires should always be by the same manufacturer 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 motorcycle.
Front tire:
Manufacturer | Type | Size |
BRIDGESTONE | 110/90-18 61S | EXEDRA L309 |
DUNLOP | 110/90-18 61S | K555F |
Rear tire:
Manufacturer | Type | Size |
BRIDGESTONE | 170/80-15 M/C 77S | EXEDRA G546 |
DUNLOP | 170/80-15 M/C 77S | K555 |
Warning! New tires have a relatilvely low grip on the road surface until they have been slightly worn. Therefor, approximately 100 km should be traveled at normal speed before any highspeed 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.
