Tyres - MOTO GUZZI BREVA V750IE 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 room
temperature every two weeks.
Check the conditions of the tyres and the
inflation pressure at room temperature
after the first 1000 km (625 mi) and then
every 7500 km (4687 mi), see page 82
(TECHNICAL DATA).
If the tyres are hot, the measurement is
not correct.
Carry out the measurement especially
before and after long rides.
If the inflation pressure is too high, the
g r o u n d u n e v e n n e s s c a n n o t b e
dampened and is therefore transmitted to
the handlebar, thus compromising the
driving comfort and reducing the road
holding during turns.
If, on the contrary, the inflation pressure
is too low, the tyre sides (1) are under
greater stress and the tyre itself may slip
on the rim or it may become loose, with
consequent loss of control of the vehicle.
32 use and maintenance Breva
The tyres could come off the rims under
hard braking.
Further, the vehicle could skid while
turning.
WARNING
Check the surface and the wear of the
tyres, since tyres in bad conditions can
impair both the grip and the vehicle
handling.
Some of the tyres approved for this

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.
Change the tyre when it is worn out or in
case of puncture on the tread side, if the
puncture is larger than 5 mm.
After repairing a tyre, have the wheels
balanced.
WARNING
Use tyres of the specified type and
m o d e l r e c o m m e n d e d
manufacturer, see page 82 (TECHNICAL
DATA). Using other than specified tyres
may adversely affect handling.
Do not install tyres with air tube on rims
for tubeless tyres and vice versa.
Make sure that the inflation valves (2)
always have their sealing caps on, to
prevent the tyres from suddenly going
flat.
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
the above mentioned operations carried
out by a Moto Guzzi Authorised Dealer
or by a qualified tyre repairer.
