Maybe that's not the model then. It's styled like that but the scaled down 360 cc model.

Thank you Flashback and jd for the great explanation.

So, I don't see anything on Yamaha's site that matches your description. Now I'm curious. Can you get the exact model and everything? Just interested to see exactly what it is now

Re:? Breaking in brand new tires 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
JD,

Good words about deflating.

2 things:

1st I didn't take into consideration being a new rider.

2nd I didn't lower my tire pressure. I did the tight turns and figure 8 for a while in the parking lot and rode carefully through all turns for the first few days.

This mechanic knows what his stuff but probably geared it toward a seasoned rider.
