Periodic maintenance and adjustment
Tyres age, even if they have not been used
EN
or have only been used occasionally. Crack-
ing of the tread and sidewall rubber, some-
times accompanied by carcass deforma-
6
tion, is an evidence of ageing. Old and aged
tyres shall be checked by tyre specialists to
ascertain their suitability for further use.
WARNING
• The front and rear tyres should
be of the same make and design,
otherwise the handling charac-
teristics of the motorcycle may be
di erent, which could lead to an
accident.
• Always make sure that the valve
caps are tighten properly.

WARNING
• For replacement, use only the
speci ed tyres. Other tyres may
run the danger of bursting at very
high speeds.
• Brand-new tyres can have a rel-
atively poor grip on certain road
surfaces until they have been "run
in". Therefore, it is advisable be-
fore doing any high-speed riding
to ride conservatively for approx-
imately 100 km (60 mi) after in-
stalling a new tyre.
