MV Agusta Brutale R Owner's Manual page 142

Excessive tire pressure reduces grip on the road
and increases the risk that the tire will unexpec-
tedly burst. Inflation pressure that is too low redu-
ces tire performance and increases the probability
of detachment of the tire from the rim, resulting in
sudden and unexpected loss of tire pressure. In
addition, premature wear and damage to the rim
may occur. These conditions can cause loss of
control of the motorcycle, resulting in an accident,
personal injury or death.
Before riding, it is therefore necessary to measu-
re the tire pressure at room temperature. The
vehicle must be parked at least three hours.
Moreover, it is extremely important to check the
wear of the tires before riding. In fact, a worn tire
can be punctured more easily than a new one,
and it can adversely affect handling and stability
of the motorcycle.
Always check the depth of the tire tread. The tread
depth must always be at least 1/8 inch (3 mm).
Verify the absence of crevices at the bottom of the
tread design and fissures on the tire sidewall.
MAINTENANCE
Moreover, verify the absence of nails and glass
splinters in the tire. If you see any evidence or
wear, have the tire replaced by an authorized MV
Agusta dealer.
WARNING
• Never ride your motorcycle if the tires
are cut, cracked, leaking or if there is
damage to the tread or sidewall. Never
ride your motorcycle if the tires are not
properly inflated. If the tires of your
motorcycle
replaced by your MV Agusta dealer.
• If a tire is punctured it must be
replaced, not repaired. A repaired tire
provides a restricted performance and
lower safety levels than a new one. If
you make a provisional or emergency
repair to a tire, you must ride at very low
speed until you reach the nearest MV
Agusta dealer and have the tire
replaced. With a provisionally repaired
tire, never exceed 60 km/h (35 mph).
