Checking tyre pressure
Incorrect tyre pressures im-
pair the motorcycle's hand-
ling characteristics and increase
the rate of tyre wear.
Always check that the tyre pres-
sures are correct.
At high road speeds, tyre
valves installed perpendicu-
lar to the wheel rim have a tend-
ency to open.
Fit valve caps with rubber seals
and screw them on firmly to pre-
vent sudden deflation.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Check tyre pressures against
the data below.
Tyre pressure, front
1.9 bar (one-up, tyre cold)
2.1 bar (two-up and with lug-
gage, tyre cold)
Tyre pressure, rear
2.1 bar (one-up, tyre cold)
2.3 bar (two-up and with lug-
gage, tyre cold)
If tyre pressure is too low:
Correct tyre pressure.
