CAUTION
TO ALLOW THE QUICK REACHING OF THE PERFECT GRIP OF NEW TYRES AT
THE FIRST MILEAGE, IT IS RECOMMENDED A PARTICULARLY CAREFUL
GUIDE OF THE MOTORCYCLE, AVOIDING SUDDEN STEERING OR VIOLENT
ACCELERATION AND BRAKING.
CAUTION
04_08
CHECK TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE REGULARLY AT AMBIENT TEMPERA-
TURE. THE MEASUREMENT MAY BE INCORRECT IF TYRES ARE WARM.
CHECK TYRE PRESSURE MAINLY BEFORE AND AFTER A LONG TRIP. AN
OVER-INFLATED TYRE WILL PROVIDE A HARSH RIDE AS SURFACE UNEVEN-
NESS IS NOT CUSHIONED AND IS SENT TO THE HANDLEBAR, THUS REDUC-
ING GRIP AND ROAD HOLDING SPECIALLY WHEN CORNERING.
ON THE OTHER HAND, AN UNDER-INFLATED TYRE CAUSES THE CONTACT
PATCH TO INCLUDE A LARGER PORTION OF THE TYRE SIDE WALLS. IF SO,
THE TYRE MIGHT SLIP ON OR GET DETACHED FROM THE WHEEL RIM, RE-
SULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE.
TYRES MAY EVEN DETACH FROM THE WHEEL RIMS UNDER VERY HARD
BRAKING.
04_09
EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE MIGHT SKID IN A BEND.
CHECK THE SURFACE CONDITION AND WEAR BECAUSE POOR TYRE CON-
DITION COULD COMPROMISE GRIP AND HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE.
SOME TYRE TYPES APPROVED FOR THIS VEHICLE FEATURE WEAR INDICA-
TORS.
THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF WEAR INDICATORS. CONSULT YOUR DEAL-
ER ON METHODS TO CHECK FOR WEAR.
CARRY OUT A VISUAL INSPECTION FOR TYRE WEAR AND TEAR, REPLACE
TYRES WHEN WORN.
