CAUTION
WARNING

TYRES

This vehicle is equipped with tubeless
tyres.
NOTE
Halve maintenance intervals if
you are riding in rainy or dusty conditions,
on rough road surfaces or when the vehicle
is used in competitions.
WARNING
Check the inflation pressure at ambient
temperature every two weeks.
Check the conditions of the tyres and the
inflation pressure at room temperature
every 1500 km (930 mi), see page 82
(TECHNICAL DATA).
Measuring pressure on hot tyres will lead
to inaccurate measurement.
It is especially important to measure tyre
pressure before and after a long trip.
Overinflated tyres will not absorb bumps
when riding on rough road surfaces and
resulting vibration is transferred through
the handlebar, giving a hard ride and
reducing tyre grip especially during
cornering.
Conversely, underinflation will put more
stress on the sidewalls (1) and the tyre
may slip on the rim or even come off the
rim, leading to loss of control.
