Tyre Replacement - Honda XL700V Owner's Manual

Tyre Replacement
The tyres that came on your motorcycle
were designed to match the performance
capabilities of your motorcycle and
provide the best combination of handling,
braking, durability and comfort.
A WARNING
Installing improper tyres on your
motorcycle can affect handling and
stability. This can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously hurt or
killed.
Always use the size and type of tyres
recommended in this owner's
manual.

The recommended tyres for your
motorcycle are:
Front: 100/90 - 19M/C 57H
BRIDGESTONE
TRAIL WING 101
METZELER
TOURANCE FRONT U
Type: bias-ply, tube
Rear: 130/80R17M/C 65H

Whenever you replace a tyre, use one that
is equivalent to the original and be sure
the wheel is balanced after the new tyre is
installed.
Also remember to replace the inner tube
whenever you replace a tyre. The old tube
will probably be stretched, and if installed
in a new tyre, it could fail.
