Tires

Checking tire tread depth
The handling of your mo-

for the worse before the legally
prescribed minimum tread depth
is reached.
Have tires replaced even be-
fore the minimum tread depth
is reached.
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Measure tire tread depth in
main tread grooves with wear
indicating marks.
Tires have wear indicators
integrated into the main
tread grooves. If the tire tread
has worn down to the level of
the marks, the tire is completely

are indicated on the edge of the

by an arrow.
If the tire tread depth no longer

minimum tread depth:
Replace tire.
