1. Check:
- Tire pressure. Out of specification → Regulate.
Warnings!
- 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.
Tire air pressure (measured on cold tires)
Loading condition:* 0–90 kg (0–198 lb)

- Front: 250 kPa (2.5 kg/cm2, 2.5 bar, 36 psi)
- Rear: 290 kPa (2.9 kg/cm2, 2.9 bar, 42 psi)
High speed riding:
- Front: 250 kPa (2.5 kg/cm2, 2.5 bar, 36 psi)
- Rear: 290 kPa (2.9 kg/cm2, 2.9 bar, 42 psi)
Maximum load:*
- 196 kg (432 lb) (FZ1-N(X))
- 190 kg (419 lb) (FZ1-S(X))
- 184 kg (406 lb) (FZ1-SA)
- 189 kg (417 lb) (FZ1-NA)
* Total weight of rider, passenger, cargo 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:
- Tire surfaces
Damage/wear → Replace the tire.
1. Tire tread depth; 2. Side wall; 3. Wear indicator
Minimum tire tread depth: 1.6 mm (0.06 in).
Warnings!
- 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 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.
A. Tire; B. Wheel
| Tube wheel | Tube tire only |
| Tubeless wheel | Tube or tubeless tire |
Warning! 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 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 vehicle.
Front tire:
- Size: 120/70 ZR17 M/C (58W)
- Manufacturer/model: DUNLOP/D221FA MICHELIN/PILOT ROAD S
Rear tire:
- Size: 190/50 ZR17 M/C (73W)
- Manufacturer/model: DUNLOP/D221G MICHELIN/PILOT ROAD D
Warning! 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.
