Tyres - Honda CB Hornet 160R Owner's Manual

TYRES

To safely operate your vehicle, your tyres
must be of proper type and size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and correctly
inflated for the load you are carrying.
The following pages give more detailed
information on how and when to check your
air pressure, how to inspect your tyres for
damage, and what to do when your tyres
need to be repaired or replaced.
WARNING
!
Using tyres that are excessively worn or
improperly inflated
accident in which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's
manual regarding tyre inflation and
maintenance.
Air Pressure
Keeping your tyres
provides the best combination of handling,
tread life and riding comfort. Generally,
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd.
can cause an
properly inflated
under inflated
adversely affect handling, and are more
likely to fail from being overheated.
Over inflated tyres make your vehicle ride
more harsh, are more prone to damage
from road hazards, and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually check your
tyres before every ride and use a gauge to
measure air pressure at least once a month
or any time you think the tyres might be
low.
Always check air pressure when your tyres
are ''cold'' when the vehicle has been
parked for at least three hours. If you check
air pressure when your tyres are ''warm''
when the vehicle has been ridden for even
a few miles the readings will be higher than
if the tyres were ''cold''. This is normal,
so do not let air out of the tyres to match
the recommended cold air pressures given
below. If you do, the tyres will be under
inflated.
