Tyre repair or replacement
In the event of a tiny puncture, tubeless tyres will take a long
time to deflate, as they tend to keep air inside. If you find low
pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for punctures.
Warning
A tyre must be replaced when punctured.
Replace tyres with recommended standard tyres only.
Be sure to tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks
when riding. Never use tube type tyres. Failure to heed this
warning may lead to sudden tyre bursting and to serious
danger to rider and passenger.
After replacing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.
Important
Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing weights.
Note
Have the tyres replaced at a Dealer or Authorised
Workshop. Correct removal and installation of the wheels is
essential,
Minimum tread depth
Measure tread depth (S, fig. 63) at the point where tread is
most worn down.
It should not be less than 2 mm and anyway not below the
legal limit.
Important
Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for
detecting cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls,
bulges or large spots that are indicative of internal damage.
Replace them if badly damaged.
Remove any stones or other foreign bodies caught in the
tread.
