Maintenance and Adjustment
Warning
Do not install tube-type tyres on tubeless
rims. The bead will not seat and the tyres
could slip on the rims, causing rapid tyre
deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle
control and an accident. Never install an
inner tube inside a tubeless tyre. This will
cause friction inside the tyre and the
resulting heat build-up may cause the tube
to burst resulting in rapid tyre deflation,
loss of vehicle control and an accident.

Warning
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles fitted with spoked wheels and
with tyres marked 'TUBE TYPE'.
Some brands of approved tyre marked
'TUBELESS' may be suitable for use with
an inner tube. Where this is the case, the
tyre wall will be marked with text
permitting the fitment of an inner tube (see
illustration below).
Use of an inner tube with a tyre marked
'TUBELESS', and NOT marked as suitable
for use with an inner tube, or use of an
inner tube on an alloy wheel marked
'SUITABLE FOR TUBELESS TYRES' will
cause deflation of the tyre resulting in loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
