depth
The handling of your
motorcycle can already
change for the worse before
the legally prescribed mini-
mum tread depth is reached.
Have tires replaced even be-
fore the minimum tread depth
is reached.
Make sure the ground is
level and firm and park the
motorcycle.
Measure tire tread depth
in main tread grooves with
wear indicating marks.
