PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

Tires

Tires are the only contact between the
vehicle and the road. Safety in all con-
ditions of riding depends on a relatively
small area of road contact. Therefore, it
is essential to maintain the tires in good
condition at all times and replace them
at the appropriate time with the speci-
fied tires.

checked and, if necessary, adjusted

proper tire pressure may cause se-
vere injury or death from loss of

 The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the ambient
temperature).
 The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with the
riding speed and with the total
weight of rider, passenger, car-
