Type
G525AW This motorcycle is fitted with super-
F20
high-speed tires. Note the following
points in order to make the most ef-
ficient use of these tires.
Type
G526BW
l Use only the specified replace-
K 5 2 5
ment tires. Other tires may run
the danger of bursting at super
1 .O mm (0.04 in)
high speeds.
l Brand-new tires can have a rela-
tively poor grip on certain road
surfaces until they have been
"broken in". Therefore, it is ad-
visable before doing any high-
speed riding to ride conserva-
tively for approximately 100 km
(60 mi) after installing a new
tire.
The tires must be warmed up
l
before a high-speed run.
Always adjust the tire air pres-
l
sure according to the operating
conditions.
