Tires

Checking tire pressure
Incorrect tire inflation pres-
sure results in poorer han-
dling characteristics of the motor-
cycle and reduces the life of the

tires.

Ensure proper tire inflation
pressure.
At high road speeds, tire
valves installed perpen-
dicular to the wheel rim have a
tendency to open as a result of
centrifugal force.
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.
Tire pressure, front
31.9 psi (2.2 bar) (With tire
cold)
Tire pressure, rear
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (Single
rider, with cold tire)
42.1 psi (2.9 bar) (With pas-
senger and payload, with
cold tire)
If tire pressure is too low:
Correct tire pressure.
