Air Pressure; Tubeless Tyres - Honda SH300 Owner's Manual

TUBELESS TYRES

To safely operate your scooter, your tyres
must be the proper type and size, in good
condition with adequate tread and correctly
inflated for the load you are carrying. The
following pages give more detailed
information on how and when to check your
air pressure, how to inspect your tyres for
damage and what to do when your tyres
need to be repaired or replaced.
n WARNING
Using tyres that are excessively worn or
improperly inflated can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's
manual regarding tyre inflation and
maintenance.

Air pressure

Keeping your tyres properly inflated
provides the best combination of handling,
tread life and riding comfort. Generally,
underinflated tyres wear unevenly, adversely
affect handling and are more likely to fail
from being overheated.
Overinflated tyres make your scooter ride
more harshly, are more prone to damage
from road hazards and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually check your
tyres before every ride and use a gauge to
measure air pressure at least once a month
or any time you think the tyres might be low.
Tubeless tyres have some self-sealing
ability if they are punctured. However
because leakage is often very slow, you
should look closely for punctures whenever
a tyre is not fully inflated.
