Tire Pressure
A low pressure gauge is provided in
the tool kit, so you can measure the
air pressure in your ATV's tires. Check
the air pressure in all tires before
each use of the vehicle. Improper air
pressure can affect handling, 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 measure-
ments 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.
