Use only the specified replace-
ment tires. Other tires may run
the danger of bursting at super
high speeds.

tively poor grip on certain road
surfaces until they have been
"broken in". Therefore, it is ad-
visable before doing
high-speed riding to ride con-
servatively for approximately
100 km (60 mi) after installing a
new tire.
●
The tires must be warmed up
before a high-speed run.
● Always adjust the tire air pres-
sure according to the operating
conditions.
