tics of the motorcycle, reduc-
tion in the service life of the
tires

Use valve caps with rubber
sealing ring and screw on

Park the motorcycle, making
sure the ground is level and
firm.
Check tire pressure against
data below.
Front tire pressure
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (with tire
cold)
Rear tire pressure
42.1 psi (2.9 bar) (with tire
cold)
If tire pressure is too low:
Correct the tire pressure.
Tire pressures can be de-
termined with tire pres-
sure control (RDC). These val-
ues are always displayed with
compensation for temperature
and always refer to a tire air
temperature of 68 °F (20 °C).
Tire pressure gauges at gas
stations do not compensate
for temperature. Therefore, the
values measured there usually
do not match the values shown
in the instrument cluster.
