Proper tire condition is a critical safety element. It requires a constant vigilance by the operator to ensure
continuous safe conditions.
Tire inflation pressure levels should be monitored at each tank fueling.
IMPROPER TIRE INFLATION CAN CAUSE UNEVEN TIRE TREAD WEAR RESULTING IN UNSTABLE VEHICLE
OPERATION. UNDERINFLATION OF TIRES CAUSES EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILD-UP THAT CAN LEAD TO TIRE
FAILURE. ALSO, UNDERINFLATION CAN LEAD TO RIDER INSTABILITY. THESE AND SIMILAR RESULTS OF
IMPROPER TIRE INFLATION CAN RESULT IN SEVERE BODILY HARM.
Always follow recommended inflation pressures of the tire manufacturer. For American IronHorse original
equipment tires, the following inflation pressures should be maintained (measured when tire is cold, not
immediately following road use):
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Riders
Front
Rear
Solo 36 psi
42 psi
Always consult the tire sidewall for proper inflation.
