Checking the tire air pressure

Info
Low tire air pressure leads to abnormal wear and overheating of the tire.
Correct tire air pressure ensures optimal riding comfort and maximum tire service life.
» If the tread depth is less than the minimum permissible depth:
–
Change the tires.
–
Check the age of the tires.
Info
The tire's date of the manufacture is usually part of the tire markings and is
indicated by the last four digits of the DOT marking. The first two digits refer to
the week of manufacture and last two digits refer to the year of manufacture.
KTM recommends that the tires are changed regardless of the actual wear, at
the latest after 5 years.
» If a tire is more than 5 years old:
–
Change the tires.
–
Remove the dust cap.
–
Check tire air pressure when the tires are cold.
