Tires

Checking tire pressures
Incorrect tire pressures
result in poorer handling
of the motorcycle and can
lead to accidents.
Ensure proper tire pressure.
At high road speeds, tire
valves have a tendency
to open as a result of centrifu-
gal force.
To avoid a sudden loss of tire
pressure, use a metal valve
cap with rubber sealing ring
on the rear wheel and tighten
it securely.
Incorrect tire pressure
reduces the life of the
tires.
Ensure proper tire pressure.
Check correct tire pressure
using following data.
Front tire pressure
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (Single
rider, with cold tire)
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (Driver
with passenger and/or
load, with cold tire)
