 WARNING
Failure to perform break-in of the
tires could cause tire slip and loss of
control.
Use extra care when riding on new
tires. Perform proper break-in of the
tires referring to the BREAK-IN sec-
tion and avoid hard acceleration,
hard cornering, and hard braking for
the first 160 km (100 miles).
Tire Pressure and Loading
Proper tire pressure and proper tire
loading are important factors. Overload-
ing your tires can lead to tire failure and
loss of motorcycle control.
Check tire pressure each day before
you ride, and against tire pressure
according to the table below. Tire pres-
sure should only be checked and
adjusted before riding since riding will
heat up the tires and lead to higher
inflation pressure readings.
