Tire Pressure
A low pressure gauge is provided in
the tool kit, so you can measure the
air pressure in your vehicle's tires.
Check the air pressure in all tires
before each use of the vehicle.
Improper air pressure can affect han-
dling, steering response, traction, tire
life and rider comfort. Be sure that the
tires are inflated to the pressures
shown below. Tire pressure should
only be measured or adjusted when
the tires are cold, or misleading mea-
surements can result.

WARNING
Overfilling the tires can be hazard-
ous.
If you put too much air into a tire,
the tire may burst, causing severe
injury.
Check the air pressure from time
to time while inflating the tire
gradually, until the specified pres-
sure is obtained.

Tire Replacement
Your ATV has low-pressure tubeless
tires. Air is sealed by the contact sur-
faces of the inner wheel rim and the
tire bead. If either the inner wheel rim
or tire bead is damaged, air may leak.
Be extremely careful not to damage
these sections when replacing tires.
It is very important to use the proper
tools when repairing or replacing tires
to prevent damage to the tire bead or
wheel rims. Have this work done by
your Suzuki dealer or a qualified tire
repair station.
When breaking the tire bead loose
from the wheel, be extremely careful
not to damage the inner wheel sur-
face or the tire bead.

WARNING
Using tires
installed incorrectly can be haz-
ardous.
The ATV may have unusual han-
dling if the tires are installed
incorrectly.
The tires are intended to rotate in
a specific direction, as indicated
by the arrows on the sidewall of
each tire. Install tires so they
rotate in the proper direction.
