Checking tire tread depth
WARNING
Riding with heavily worn
tyres
Risk of accident due to
poorer rideability
If necessary, replace the
tyres before the legally spec-
ified minimum tread depth
is reached.
Park the motorcycle, making
sure the ground is level and
firm.
Measure tire tread depth in
main tread grooves with wear
marks.
Tread wear marks are in-
tegrated into the main
grooves on every tire. If the tire
tread has worn down to the
level of the marks, the tire is
completely worn. The locations
of the marks are indicated on
the edge of the tire, e.g. by the
letters TI, TWI or by an arrow.
When the minimum tread
depth is reached:
Replace the worn tire.

Park the motorcycle, making
