Tire Pressure And Loading - Suzuki GSX1300BK Owner's Manual

 WARNING
Failure to perform break-in of the tires
could cause tire slip and loss of control.
Use extra care when riding on new tires.
Perform proper break-in of the tires
referring to the BREAK-IN section and
avoid hard acceleration, hard cornering,
and hard braking for the first 160 km (100
miles).

TIRE PRESSURE AND LOADING

Proper tire pressure and proper tire loading
are important factors. Overloading your tires
can lead to tire failure and loss of vehicle
control.
Check tire pressure each day before you
ride, and be sure the pressure is correct for
the vehicle load according to the table
below. Tire pressure should only be checked
and adjusted before riding, since riding will
heat up the tires and lead to higher inflation
pressure readings.
Under-inflated tires make smooth cornering
difficult, and can result in rapid tire wear.
Over-inflated tires cause a smaller amount
of tire to be in contact with the road, which
can contribute to skidding and loss of con-
trol.
