Wheel / Tire / Air Valve Inspection And Cleaning - Suzuki GSX1300BK B-King Service Manual

2D-16 Wheels and Tires:
3) Bounce the tire several times while rotating. This
makes the tire bead expand outward to contact the
wheel, thereby facilitating air inflation.
4) Install the valve core and inflate the tire.
WARNING
!
• Do not inflate the tire to more than 400 kPa
2
(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.
5) In this condition, check the "grim line" "B" cast on the
tire side walls. The line must be equidistant from the
wheel rim all around.
6) If the distance between the rim line and wheel rim
varies, this indicates that the bead is not properly
seated. If this is the case, deflate the tire completely
and unseat the bead for both sides. Coat the bead
with lubricant and fit the tire again.
7) When the bead has been fitted properly, adjust the
pressure to specification.
8) As necessary, adjust the tire balance. Refer to
"Wheel Balance Check and Adjustment (Page 2D-
18)".
