Tyres - MOTO GUZZI BREVA V1100 Manual

TYRES

This vehicle is equipped with tubeless
tyres.
NOTE
Halve maintenance intervals if
you are riding in rainy or dusty conditions,
on rough road surfaces or when the vehicle
is used in competitions.
WARNING
Check the inflation pressure at ambient
temperature every two weeks.
Every 1000 km (625 mi) check tires for
wear and check their inflating pressure at
ambient temperature, see page 90
(TECHNICAL DATA).
Measuring pressure on hot tyres will lead
to inaccurate measurement.
It is especially important to measure tyre
pressure before and after a long trip.
Over-inflated tyres will not absorb bumps
when riding on rough road surfaces and
resulting vibration is transferred through
the handlebar, giving a hard ride and
reducing tyre grip especially during
cornering.
Conversely, under-inflation will put more
stress on the sidewalls (1) and the tyre
may slip on the rim or even come off the
rim, leading to loss of control.
The tyres could come off the rims under
hard braking.
Finally, the vehicle could skid during
cornering.
WARNING
Inspect tyre surface condition and check
for wear, as worn tyres lead to poor road
holding and handling.

indicators. For more information on how
to check the tyres for wear, contact your
Dealer.
Visually inspect the tyres for wear and
have them changed if worn.
Have a tyre changed when worn or
punctured, if the puncture in the tread is
larger than 5 mm.
Have the wheels balanced after each tyre
repair.
WARNING
S p a r e t y r e s s h o u l d b e o f t h e
recommended type and model, see
page 90 (TECHNICAL DATA); using
2
different tyres then the specified ones
negatively affects vehicle handling.
Do not install tube tyres on tubeless
tyre rims or vice versa.
Make sure that caps are in place on the
valves (2), or the tyres may deflate
suddenly.
Tyre replacement and repair, and wheel
servicing and balancing are delicate
operations that should be carried out
using adequate tools and are best left to
experienced mechanics.
For this reason, it is advisable to have
these operations carried out by a Moto
G u z z i A u t h o r i s e d D e a l e r o r b y a
qualified tyre repairer.
