Tire Maintenance - VOGE SR4 Max LX350T-5A Book

Tire maintenance

The tire connects the motorcycle and ground, it is ver y important, the incorrect specification and
status is ver y bad for motorcycle performance.
The tire pressure in tire
·The wrong tire pressure makes its working lifeshorter.
·Too low the tire pressure makes difficult turning,and
speed up the tire wear-out.
·Too high the tire pressure decreases the contact area
between tire and ground, which is easy to skid and
out of control.
·When driving in high speed, the centrifugal force may
open the air valve core on the tire, to avoid the sudden
air leakage, we equip it a cap and connect with air valve
core by thread.
·The pressure of tire's air charging rises with tire temperature, so adjust the tire charging pressure
when it is cold and its temperature almost the same with surroundings.
Check the limit of tire wear-out
·The tire surface is with the mark of wear-out.
·In case the tire tread already reached the mark , which means the tire could
not be used any more.
·The wear-out mark is near the TWI mark at tire edge, the wear-out mark is
in the water drainage groove on tire tread, which is a protrusion, when the
protrusion is worn out, means the tire already worn out and need to be replaced.
·The worn out tire may get penetrated and bring motorcycle out of control.
·When the depth of tire tread reached the minimum limit, its performance and gripping force may
62
largely fall down.
!
The incorrect tire pressure is not only bad for
performance, but also lead to accident.
Overloading may lead to tire failure and bring
motorcycle out of control.
Make monthly inspection on tire pressure
Under normal temperature, please check the tire
pressure as table below.
