Tyres

Checking tyre pressures
Incorrect tyre pressure
adversely affects the
handling characteristics of
the motorcycle and can lead
to accidents.
Always check that the tyre
pressures are correct.
At high road speeds,
tyre valves have a tend-
ency to open as a result of
centrifugal force.
In order to avoid a sudden
loss of tyre pressure, fit a
metal valve cap with rubber
sealing ring to the rear tyre
and make sure that the cap is
screwed on firmly.
Incorrect tyre pressure
reduces the operating
life of the tyres.
Always check that the tyre
pressures are correct.
Check that tyre pressures
are correct as per the data
below.
Front wheel, tyre pres-
sure
2.5 bar (when cold)
Rear wheel, tyre pres-
sure
2.9 bar (when cold)

Correct the tyre pressures.
