tires; TRAIL model is provided with tires
with tube.
NOTE
Carry out the maintenance
operations halving the intervals indicated, if
the vehicle is used in rainy or dusty areas
or on uneven surfaces.
WARNING
Check the inflation pressure at room
temperature every two weeks.
Check the conditions of the tyres and
t h e i n f l a t i o n p r e s s u r e a t r o o m
temperature every 1000 km (625 mi),
see page 90 (TECHNICAL DATA).
WARNING
Periodically check the tyre inflation
pressure at room temperature, see page
90 (TECHNICAL DATA).
If the tyres are hot, the measurement is
not correct.
Carry out the measurement especially
before and after long rides.
If the inflation pressure is too high, the
g r o u n d u n e v e n n e s s c a n n o t b e
dampened and is therefore transmitted
to the handlebar, thus compromising
the driving comfort and reducing the
road holding during turns.

If, on the contrary, the inflation pressure
is too low, the tyre sides (1) are under
greater stress and the tyre itself may
slip on the rim or it may become loose,
with consequent loss of control of the
vehicle.
In case of sudden braking the tyres
could even come off the rims.
Further, the vehicle could skid while
turning.
Check the surface and the wear of the
tyres, since tyres in bad conditions can
impair both the grip and the vehicle
handling.
Some types of tyres homologated for
this vehicle are provided with wear
indicators.

Do not install tyres with air tube on rims
for tubeless tyres and vice versa.
Make sure that the inflation valves (2)
always have their sealing caps on, to
prevent the tyres from suddenly going
flat.
