Tyres

(SCRAMBLER 1100 SPECIAL)
Tyres with inner tube
Front tyre pressure:
2.30 bar - 33.3 PSI (on road, rider only);
2.40 bar - 34.8 PSI (on road, rider and passenger - at
full load).
Rear tyre pressure:
2.50 bar - 36 PSI (on road, rider only);
2.90 bar - 42 PSI (on road, rider and passenger - at full
load).
As tyre pressure is affected by ambient temperature
and altitude variations, you are advised to check and
adjust it whenever you are riding in areas where
ample variations in temperature or altitude occur.
Important
Check and set tyre pressure when tyres are
cold. To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding
on bumpy roads, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 ÷ 0.3
bar (2.9÷4.35 PSI).
Repairing or replacing tyres with inner tube
If you find low pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for
punctures.
If the tyre tube is punctured or damaged, it must be
replaced as soon as possible. A repaired tyre tube
could not provide the same reliability level of a new
one and can break while riding.
Warning
In case of punctured tyres, replace both the tyre
and the inner tube. Replace tyres and inner tube with
OE ones only. Be sure to tighten the valve caps
securely to avoid leaks when riding. Never use tyres
without tube. Failure to heed this warning may lead to
sudden tyre deflation and to serious danger to rider
and passenger.
Important
Use only OE tyres and inner tubes.
Warning
Every time you replace a tyre it is necessary to
replace the inner tube as well: a used tube could be
stretched and, if installed in a new tyre, could get
irremediably damaged with severe consequences for
rider and passenger.
