MV Agusta F4 BRUTALE Use And Maintenance Manual page 120

MV Agusta dealer and have the tyre
replaced. With a provisionally repaired
tyre, never exceed 60 km/h. Tyre repair-
ing must never be performed if the tyre
is punctured on its sidewall, or if the
diameter of the puncture on the tread is
greater than 6 mm.
• MV Agusta recommends not to use
sealing fluids to repair a punctured tyre.
These products can adversely affect the
material of the tyre layers, as well as
hide the minor damages caused by
objects penetrated in the tyre.
• When it is necessary to replace the
tyres, use only the type specified in
paragraph 8.2. Moreover, avoid using
6
tyres of a different brand or type on the
front and on the rear wheel at the same
time. Using tyres different from those
specified can adversely affect the han-
dling and stability of the motorcycle,
increasing the risk of accidents.
• The wheel rims of your motorcycle
MAINTENANCE
have been designed for use with tube-
less tyres only. Do not assemble an air
tube tyre on rims designed for tubeless
tyres. Otherwise, the tyre bead could
not properly settle down on the wheel
rim, leading to the deflation of the tyre
and the loss of control of the vehicle.
• Do not assemble an air tube on a
tubeless tyre. The overheating of the
tyre could cause the explosion of the air
tube, leading to the deflation of the tyre
and the loss of control of the vehicle.
• Have the tyres replaced according to
their direction of spin, which is highlight-
ed by a small arrow on the tyre sidewall.
• New tyres should be run in for a short
period before demanding their full
performance. In fact, during this period
the tyres could have a reduced grip on
some kind of roads. We suggest to ride
at reduced speed and exercise extreme
caution during the first 100 km after the
replacement of a tyre.
