Tyres

Checking tyre pressure
Incorrect tyre pressures im-
pair the motorcycle's hand-
ling characteristics and increase
the rate of tyre wear.
Always check that the tyre pres-
sures are correct.
At high road speeds, tyre
valves installed perpendicu-
lar to the wheel rim have a tend-
ency to open.
In order to avoid sudden defla-
tion, fit valves installed perpen-
dicular to the rim with valve caps
complete with rubber seals and
make sure the valve caps are
screwed firmly on to the valves.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Check tyre pressures against
the data below.
Tyre pressure, front
2.5 bar (Tyre cold)
Tyre pressure, rear
2.9 bar (Tyre cold)
If tyre pressure is incorrect:
Correct tyre pressure.
