To safely operate your motorcycle, your
tires must be the proper type and size, in
good condition with adequate tread, and
correctly inflated for the load you are
carrying.
Using tires 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 tire
inflation and maintenance.
The following pages give detailed
information on how and when to check
your air pressure, how to inspect your tires
for wear and damage, and our
recommendations for tire repair and
replacement.

Air Pressure

Refer to Saf ety Precautions on page
Properly inflated tires provide the best
combination of handling, tread life, and
riding comfort. Generally, underinflated
tires wear unevenly, adversely affect
handling, and are more likely to fail from
being overheated. Overinflated tires make
your motorcycle ride harshly, are more
prone to damage from road hazards, and
wear unevenly.
