6.7 Checking the tires and rims
WARNING
Before using the motorcycle, always
check the pressure and wear of the tyres.
An incorrect inflating pressure can lead to
dangerous situations during riding. An
insufficiently inflated tyre can cause the
sliding of the tyre on the wheel rim orits
detachment; this may lead to the deflation
of the tyre with subsequent loss of control
of the vehicle.
Checking the inflating pressure of the tyres is an essential
requirement to ensure driving safety. Insufficiently inflated tyres
can reduce the handling of the motorcycle and wear themselves
out very quickly.On the other hand, an excessively high inflating
pressure reduces the wideness of the surface in contact with the
ground, and it can compromise the grip of the vehicle.
Before riding your motorcycle, it is therefore necessary to measure
the tyre pressure at room temperature.The vehicle must be parked
since three hours at least.
