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 96
(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.
