Tires, air pressure

Tire type, tire condition, and air pressure level affect the way your motor-
cycle rides, and they must therefore be checked whenever you are getting
ready to go anywhere on your motorcycle.
– Tire size can be found in the technical specifications and in their homolo-
gation certificate
– Tire condition has to be checked every time you want to ride your
motorcycle. Before leaving, check tires for punctures and nails or other
sharp objects that might have become embedded in them.
