Tires

Check tire pressure
Incorrect tire inflation pres-
sure results in poorer hand-
ing characteristics of the motor-
cycle and reduces the life of the

tires.

Ensure proper tire inflation
pressure.
At high road speeds, ver-
tically installed tire valves
have a tendency to open on their
own.
To avoid a sudden loss of tire in-
flation pressure, use valve caps
with a rubber sealing ring for
valves installed vertically to the
wheel rim and tighten firmly.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Check tire pressures against
data below.
