GENERAL INFORMATION
TIRES
WARNING
An over inflated tire results in a hard, uncomfortable and less secure ride.
Over inflation also affects grip, especially on curves and wet surfaces.
An under inflated tire (insufficient pressure) can slip on the wheel rim, resulting in loss of control.
Under inflation also affects grip and handling, as well as braking efficiency.
Tire replacement and repair, and wheel servicing and balancing are delicate operations. They should
be carried out using adequate tools and are best left to experienced mechanics.
New tires may be covered with a thin layer of protective coating which is slippery. Drive carefully for
the first few kilometers (miles).
Never use any kind of rubber treatment product on the tires.
In particular, do not allow the tire to come in contact with liquid fuel, which rapidly deteriorates the tire
rubber.
In case of contact with oil or fuel, do not clean but replace the tire.
DANGER
Some of the factory-assembled tires on this vehicle are equipped with wear indicators.
There are various types of wear indicators.
For more information on how to check wear, contact your Dealer.
Check the wear visually and have the tires replaced when they are worn.
If a tire deflates during a ride, do not attempt to continue the trip.
Avoid sudden braking or steering maneuvers, and do not decelerate rapidly.
Slowly decelerate and move to the edge of the road braking with the engine until you come to a
standstill.
Failure to observe these instructions can result in serious accidents, with the risk of serious personal
injury or death.
Never use tube tires on tubeless tire rims, or vice versa.
