TYRES
Tyre pressure:
Check the tyre pressure atleast once in a week if not
more frequently. Insufficient air pressure in the tyres
not only hasten tyre wear, but also seriously affects
the stability of the vehicle.
Under inflated tyres make smooth cornering difficult
and over inflated tyres decreases the tyre contact
with the ground which can lead to skidding and loss
of control. Lower tyre pressure consumes more
fuel. Be sure that the tyre pressure is within the
specified limit at all times.
Solo
Front 1.75 kg/cm² (25 PSI)
Rear
1.97 kg/cm² (28 PSI)
Tyre tread condition
Operating the vehicle with excessively worn tyres
will decrease riding stability and can lead to loss of
control. It is recommended to replace the tyre when
the tyre wears off to the tyre wear indicator level
(indicated by TWI (A) on the tyre).
Pillion
1.75 kg/cm² (25 PSI)
2.25 kg/cm² (32 PSI)
Tyre rotation direction
While reassembling the tyres, after removing from
the wheel rim, ensure that the arrow mark on the
tyre facing the direction of wheel rotation.
Warning
The tyre inflation pressure in cold condition and the
tyre tread condition are extremely important for the
performance and safety of the rider. Check the tyres
frequently for inflation pressure as well as the wear
pattern on it. Use of a tyre other than the standard
may cause instability.
