Tyres - Ducati Monster 696 Owner's Manual

Tyres

Front tyre pressure:
2.25 bar - 2.29 kg/sq. cm
Rear tyre pressure:
2.50 bar - 2.55 kg/sq. cm
As tyre pressure is affected by changes in
temperature and altitude; check and adjust them
whenever you are riding in areas where there are
large variations in temperature or altitude.
Important
Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres
cold. To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding
on bumpy roads, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3
bar.

REPAIRING OR REPLACING TYRES
In the event of a tiny puncture, tubeless tyres will take
a long time to deflate, as they tend to keep air inside.
If you find low pressure on one tyre, check the tyre
for punctures.
Warning
Punctured tyres must be replaced. Replace
tyres with recommended standard tyres only. Be
sure to tighten the valve caps securely to avoid leaks
when riding. Never fit tyres with inner tubes, as these
can cause the tyre to burst suddenly, with possibly
serious consequences for the rider and passenger.
After replacing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.
Warning
Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing
weights.
