NOTE: The "Triangle mark" indi-
cates the place where the wear
bars are molded into the tire.
When the wear bars contact the
road, it indicates that the tire wear
limit has been reached.
Whenever you replace a tire, use
a tire of the size and type listed
below. If you use a different size
or type of tire, motorcycle han-
dling may be adversely affected,
possibly resulting in loss of motor-
cycle control.

Always balance the wheel after
repairing a puncture or replacing
the tire. Proper wheel balance is
important to avoid variable wheel-
to-road contact, and to avoid
uneven tire wear.
 WARNING
An improperly
installed, or balanced tire can
cause loss of control and an
accident, or can wear out
sooner.
• Ask your Suzuki dealer or a
qualified mechanic to per-
form tire repair, replacement,
and balancing
proper tools and experience
are required.
• Install tires according to the
rotation direction shown by
arrows on the sidewall of
each tire.
