Inspection - Honda CTX200 Owner's Manual

Always check air pressure when your tyres
are ''cold.'' If you check air pressure when
your tyres are ''warm'' even if your
motorcycle has only been ridden for a few
miles the readings will be higher. If you
let air out of warm tyres to match the
recommended cold pressures, the tyres will
be underinflated.
The recommended ''cold'' tyre pressures
are:
Front
150 kPa (1.50 kgf/cm , 22
psi)
Rear
150 kPa (1.50 kgf/cm , 22
psi)

Inspection

Whenever you check the tyre pressures,
you should also examine the tyre treads and
sidewalls for wear, damage, and foreign
objects:
Look for:
Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or
the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any
bumps or bulges.
Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre. Replace
the tyre if you can see fabric or cord.
Excessive tread wear.
Also, if you hit a pothole or hard object, pull
to the side of the road as soon as you safely
can and carefully inspect the tyres for
damage.
