Tyres - Monster 659 Owner's Manual

Tyres

Front tyre pressure:
2.25 bar - 2.29 Kg/sq. cm
Rear tyre pressure:
2.50 bar - 2.55 Kg/sq. cm
As tyre pressure is affected by changes in temperature and
altitude; you are advised to check and adjust it whenever you
are riding in areas where ample variations in temperature or
altitude occur.
Important
Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold.
To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding on bumpy
roads, increase front tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3 bar.
Repairing or renewing tyres
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 Ducati Dealer or
authorised Service Center. Correct removal and installation
of the wheels is essential.
as some parts of the ABS (such as sensors and phonic
wheels) are mounted to the wheels and require specific
adjustment.
