Checking the tire condition

Warning
Danger of accidents If a tire bursts while riding, the vehicle becomes uncontrollable.
–
Ensure that damaged or worn tires are replaced immediately. (Your authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop will be glad
to help.)
Warning
Danger of crashing Different tire tread patterns on the front and rear wheel impair the handling characteristic.
Different tire tread patterns can make the vehicle significantly more difficult to control.
–
Make sure that only tires with a similar tire tread pattern are fitted to the front and rear wheel.
Warning
Danger of accidents Non-approved or non-recommended tires and wheels impact the handling characteristic.
–
Only use tires/wheels approved by Husqvarna Motorcycles with the corresponding speed index.
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced road grip with new tires.
–
New tires have a smooth rolling surface and therefore cannot provide full road grip. The entire rolling surface must be rough-
ened in the first 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) by moderate riding at alternating angles. The full grip levels are not achieved
until the tires have been run in.
Info
The type, condition, and air pressure of the tires all have a major impact on the handling characteristics of the motorcycle.
Worn tires have a negative effect on handling characteristics, especially on wet surfaces.
