Checking And Replacing The Tyres - MV Agusta TURISMO VELOCE 800 LUSSO Maintenance Manual

1.10. Checking and replacing the tyres

WARNING
Before using the motorcycle, always
check the pressure and wear of the
tyres.
Checking the inflating pressure of the tyres is an
essential requirement to ensure driving safety.
Insufficiently inflated tyres can reduce the han-
dling 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 nec-
essary to measure the tyre pressure at room tem-
perature. The vehicle must be parked since three
hours at least.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
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
or its detachment; this may lead to the
deflation of the tyre with subsequent
loss of control of the vehicle.
