Tire Installation - Suzuki GW250 Service Manual

TIRE INSTALLATION

• Apply tire lubricant to the tire bead.
Never use oil, grease or gasoline on the tire bead in
place of tire lubricant.
When installing the tire onto the wheel, observe the following
points:
• When installing the tire, the arrow A on the side wall should
point to the direction of wheel rotation.
• Align the chalk mark put on the tire at the time of removal with
the valve position.
• For installation procedure of tire onto the wheel, follow the
instructions given by the tire changer manufacturer.
• Bounce the tire several times while rotating. This makes the
tire bead expand outward to contact the wheel, thereby facili-
tating air inflation.
• Inflate the tire.

* Do not inflate the tire to more than 400 kPa (4.0
kgf/cm , 57 psi). If inflated beyond this limit, the tire

can burst and possibly cause injury. Do not stand
directly over the tire while inflating.
* In the case of preset pressure air inflator, pay special
care for the set pressure adjustment.
