CHECKING THE TIRES/CHECKING THE WHEELS
WARNING
S After mounting a new tire, ride conserva-
tively for a while to become accustomed to
the "feel" of the new tire and to allow the
tire to seat itself properly in the rim. Failure
to do so could lead to an accident with pos-
sible injury to the rider or damage to the
motorcycle.
S After a tire has been repaired or replaced,
be sure to tighten the tire valve stem lock-
nut 1 to specification.
NOTE:
For tires with a direction of rotation mark 1 :
S Install the tire with the mark pointing in the
direction of wheel rotation.
S Align the mark 2 with the valve installation
point.
