 WARNING
Failure to perform break-in of the
tires could cause tire slip and loss
of control, which could result in an
accident.
Use extra care when riding on new
tires. Perform proper break-in of
the tires referring to the BREAK-IN
section of this manual and avoid
hard acceleration, hard cornering,
and hard braking for the first 160
km (100 miles).
TIRE PRESSURE AND LOADING
Proper tire pressure and proper tire
loading are important factors. Over-
loading your tires can lead to tire fail-
ure and loss of vehicle control.
Check tire pressure each day before
you ride, and be sure the pressure is
correct for the vehicle load according
to the table below. Tire pressure
should only be checked and adjusted
before riding, since riding will heat up
the tires and lead to higher inflation
pressure readings.
Under-inflated tires make smooth cor-
nering difficult, and can result in rapid
tire wear. Over-inflated tires cause a
smaller amount of tire to be in contact
with the road, which can contribute to
skidding and loss of control.
