0B-15 Maintenance and Lubrication:
Tire Inspection
Inspect tire
Every 6 000 km (4 000 miles, 6 months)
Tire Tread Condition
Operating the motorcycle with excessively worn tires will
decrease riding stability and consequently invite a
dangerous situation. It is highly recommended to replace
a tire when the remaining depth of tire tread reaches the
following specification.
Special tool
: 09900–20805 (Tire depth gauge)
Tire tread depth (Service Limit)
FRONT: 1.6 mm (0.06 in)
REAR: 2.0 mm (0.08 in)
Tire Pressure
If the tire pressure is too high or too low, steering will be
adversely affected and tire wear increased. Therefore,
maintain the correct tire pressure for good roadability or
shorter tire life will result. Cold inflation tire pressure is as
follows.

CAUTION
!
The standard tire fitted on this motorcycle is
120/80 14M/C 58S for front and 150/70 13M/C
for rear. The use of tires other than those
specified may cause instability. It is highly
recommended to use the specified tires.

Rear: HOOP B02 G
Steering System Inspection
Inspect steering system
Initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 2 month) and every
12 000 km (7 500 miles, 24 months) thereafter
Steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning
of handlebars and safe running. Overtighten steering
prevents smooth turning of the handlebars and too loose
steering will cause poor stability.
1) Check that there is no play in the steering stem while
grasping the lower fork tubes by supporting the
motorcycle so that the front wheel is off the ground,
with the wheel straight ahead, and pull forward.
2) If play is found, read just the steering. Refer to
"Steering Stem Bearing Removal and Installation in
Section 6B (Page6B-9)".
