Tyres
The maintenance of correct tyre pressures is an important
factor governing tyre life, steering behaviour, braking, and riding
comfort. It is, therefore, important that tyre pressures are
checked regularly at periods not exceeding two weeks, and the
losses, due to diffusion, are made good. Correct tyre pressures
are given on page 25.
Adjust the pressures whilst the tyres are cold, i.e., before a
run. As the tyres warm up their pressures increase. A warm tyre
bled to the recommended pressure will be under-inflated when
cold.
