 WARNING
Failure to perform break-in of the
tires could cause tire slip and loss
of control, which could result in an
accident.
Use extra care when riding on new
tires. Perform proper break-in of
the tires referring to the BREAK-IN
section of this manual and avoid
hard acceleration, hard cornering,
and hard braking for the first 160
km (100 miles).
TIRE PRESSURE AND LOADING
Proper tire pressure and proper tire
loading are important factors. Over-
loading your tires can lead to tire fail-
ure and loss of vehicle control.
Check tire pressure each day before
you ride, and adjust tire pressure and
be sure the pressure is correct for the
vehicle load according to the table
below. Tire pressure should only be
checked and adjusted before riding,
since riding will heat up the tires and
lead to higher inflation pressure read-
ings.
Under-inflated tires make smooth cor-
nering difficult, and can result in rapid
tire wear. Over-inflated tires cause
smaller amount of tire to be in contact
with the road, which can contribute to
skidding and loss of control.

NOTE: When you detect drops in tire
pressure, check the tire for nails or
other punctures, or a damaged wheel
rim. Tubeless tires sometimes lose
pressure gradually when punctured.
