An improperly repaired, installed,
or balanced tire can cause loss of
control or shorten tire life.
Ask your SUZUKl dealer or qual-
ified mechanic to perform tire
repair, replacement, and balanc-
ing because proper tools and
experience are required.
Install tires according to the
rotation direction shown by
arrows on the sidewall of each
tire.
Failure to follow these instruc-
tions about tubeless tires may
result in an accident due to tire
failure. Tubeless tires require dif-
ferent service procedures than
tube tires.
Tubeless tires require an air-
tight seal between the tire bead
and wheel rim. Special tire irons
and rim protectors or a special-
ized tire mounting machine
must be used for removing and
installing tires to prevent tire or
rim damage which could result
in an air leak.
Repair puncture in tubeless
tires by removing the tire and
applying an internal patch.
Do not use an external repair
plug to repair a puncture since
the plug may work loose as a
result of the cornering forces
experienced in a motorcycle
tire.
After repairing a tire, do not
exceed 80 kmlh (50 mph) for the
first 24 hours, 130 kmlh (80
mph) thereafter. This is to avoid
excessive heat build-up which
could result in a tire repair fail-
ure and tire deflation.
Replace the tire if it is punctured
in the sidewall area, or if a punc-
ture in the tread area is larger
than 6 mm (3116 in). These punc-
tures cannot be repaired ade-
quately.
