TIRES

Checking tire pressure
WARNING
Incorrect tire inflation pressure
Poorer handling characteristic of motorcy-
cle, reduction of tire service life
Ensure proper tire inflation pressure.
WARNING
Automatic opening of vertically installed
valve inserts at high speeds
Sudden loss of tire inflation pressure
Use valve caps with rubber sealing ring
and screw on firmly.
Park the motorcycle, making sure that the
ground is firm and level.
Check tire pressure against data below.
Front tire pressure
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (One-up mode, with
cold tires)
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (Two-up mode with
load, with cold tires)
Rear tire pressure
42.1 psi (2.9 bar) (One-up mode, with
cold tires)
42.1 psi (2.9 bar) (Two-up mode with
load, with cold tires)
If tire pressure is too low:
Correct the tire pressure.
Tire pressures can be determined with
tire pressure control (RDC). These val-
ues are always displayed with compensation
for temperature and always refer to a tire air
temperature of 20 °C. Tire pressure gauges
at gas stations do not compensate for tem-
perature. Therefore, the values measured
there usually do not match the values shown
in the TFT display.
