Aftermarket Tires and Rims

the performance capabilities and to
provide the best combination of han-
dling, braking, and comfort. Other
tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. See page 6-16
for tire specifications and for informa-
tion on servicing and replacing your
tires.
Transporting the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe the following in-
structions before transporting the mo-
torcycle in another vehicle.
 Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
 Confirm there are no fuel or oil
leaks.
 Shift the transmission into gear.
 Secure with suitable straps that
are attached to solid parts of the
motorcycle, such as the frame or
cause a upper front fork triple clamp. Do
not attach to turn signals, cowl-
ings and fairings, or any other
parts that can break. Choose the
location for the straps carefully so
the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.
 The suspension should be partial-
ly compressed by the tie-down
straps so that the motorcycle will
not bounce excessively during
transport.
