only tires marked 'TUBELESS' and tubeless
valves on rims marked 'SUITABLE FOR
TUBELESS TIRES'.

Thunderbird Horizon is equipped with
spoked wheels which require a tire suitable
for use with an inner tube.

Failure to use an inner tube in a spoked
wheel will cause deflation of the tire
resulting in loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.

Tire Marking

Do not install tube-type tires on tubeless
rims. The bead will not seat and the tires
could slip on the rims, causing rapid tire
deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle
control and an accident. Never install an
inner tube inside a tubeless tire. This will
cause friction inside the tire and the
resulting heat build-up may cause the tube
to burst resulting in rapid tire deflation, loss
of vehicle control and an accident.
