TIRES

TIRE TREAD CONDITION
Inspect every 5 000 km (3 000 miles, 15 months).
Operating the motorcycle with excessively worn tires will
decrease riding stability and consequently invite a dangerous
situation. It is highly recommended to replace a tire when the
remaining depth of tire tread reaches the following specification.
 Tire tread depth (Recommended depth):
Service Limit: Front : 1.6 mm (0.06 in)
Rear : 2.0 mm (0.08 in)
 09900-20805: Tire depth gauge
TIRE PRESSURE
If the tire pressure is too high or too low, steering will be
adversely affected and tire wear will increase. Therefore, main-
tain the correct tire pressure for good roadability and a longer
tire life. Cold inflation tire pressure is as follows.
 Cold inflation tire pressure:
Solo riding: Front: 175 kPa (1.75 kgf/cm
Rear: 200 kPa (2.00 kgf/cm
Dual riding: Front: 175 kPa (1.75 kgf/cm
Rear: 225 kPa (2.25 kgf/cm

The standard tire fitted on this motorcycle is 90/90-18
M/C 51S for the front and 110/90-18 M/C 61S for the
rear. The use of tires other than those specified may
cause instability. It is highly recommended to use the
specified tires.

WHEEL
Make sure that the wheel runout (axial and radial) does not
exceed the service limit when checked as shown. An excessive
amount of runout is usually due to worn or loose wheel bearings
and can be corrected by replacing the bearings. If bearing
replacement fails to reduce the runout, replace the wheel.
