Tires

Checking tire pressure
Make sure ground is level
and firm and park the mo-
torcycle.
Incorrect tire pressure
results in poorer handing
characteristics of the motor-
cycle and reduces the life of
the tires.
Ensure proper tire pressure.
At high road speeds, tire
valves have a tendency
to open as a result of centrifu-
gal force.
Fit metal valve caps with rub-
ber seals and screw them
on firmly to prevent sudden
deflation.
Check tire pressures
against the data below.
