The following procedure applies to both of the
tires.
1. Check:
• Tire pressure

EWA13181
WARNING
• The tire pressure should only be checked
and regulated when the tire temperature
equals the ambient air temperature.
• The tire pressure and the suspension must
be adjusted according to the total weight
(including cargo, rider, passenger and ac-
cessories) and the anticipated riding
speed.
• Operation of an overloaded vehicle could
cause tire damage, an accident or an injury.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHICLE.

WARNING
New tires have a relatively low grip on the
road surface until they have been slightly
worn. Therefore, approximately 100 km
should be traveled at normal speed before
any high-speed riding is done.
TIP
• For tires with a direction of rotation mark "1":
Install the tire with the mark pointing in the di-
rection of wheel rotation.
• Align the mark "2" with the valve installation
point.
