WHEELS, TIRES
Warning
Danger of crashing Poor vehicle handling due to different tire tread patterns on front and rear wheels.
–
The front and rear wheels must be fitted with tires with similar tread patterns to prevent loss of control over the vehicle.
Warning
Danger of accidents Uncontrollable handling characteristic due to non-approved and/or non-recommended tires/wheels.
–
Only tires/wheels approved by KTM and with the corresponding speed index should be used.
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced road grip with new tires.
–
New tires have a smooth rolling surface and therefore cannot provide full road grip. The entire rolling surface must be rough-
ened in the first 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) by moderate riding at alternating angles. The full grip levels are not achieved
until the tires have been run in.
Info
The type, condition and air pressure of the tires all have a major impact on the handling of the motorcycle.
Worn tires have a negative effect on riding behavior, especially on wet surfaces.
–
Check the front and rear tires for cuts, run-in objects and other damage.
» If the tires exhibit cuts, run-in objects or other damage:
–
Change the tires.
–
Check the depth of the tread.
Info
Note local national regulations concerning the minimum tread depth.
