TIRES
2006 MASTIFF GENERAL INFORMATION
• REPLACE TIRES WITH BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES APPROVED TIRES ONLY. SERVICING TIRES AND
WHEELS REQUIRES SPECIAL TOOLS AND SKILLS. WE RECOMMEND YOU SEE A BIG DOG
MOTORCYCLES DEALER OR AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER FOR THESE SERVICES. TIRES, RIMS
AND AIR VALVES MUST BE CORRECTLY MATCHED IN ORDER TO INSURE YOUR PERSONAL
SAFETY. MISMATCHING TIRES, RIMS AND AIR VALVES MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE TIRE
BEAD DURING MOUNTING OR MAY ALLOW THE TIRE TO SLIP ON THE RIM, POSSIBLY CAUSING
TIRE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, USING TIRES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT MOTORCYCLE STABILITY. TIRE SIZES ARE MOLDED ON THE TIRE SIDEWALL. IMPROPER
TIRE INFLATION WILL CAUSE ABNORMAL TREAD WEAR AND COULD RESULT IN UNSTABLE
HANDLING. UNDER-INFLATION COULD RESULT IN THE TIRE SLIPPING ON THE RIM OR SUDDEN
TIRE FAILURE. INSPECT TIRE TREAD FOR PUNCTURES, CUTS, BREAKS, ETC., AT LEAST WEEKLY
(IF IN DAILY USE) OR BEFORE EACH TRIP (IF USED ONLY OCCASIONALLY).
• IF THERE IS UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TIRE INTEGRITY, HAVE A BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES DEALER
OR AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER REMOVE AND CAREFULLY INSPECT THE INSIDE AS WELL
AS THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE. A DAMAGED TIRE CAN FAIL CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.
RIDING WITH EXCESSIVELY WORN, UNBALANCED OR IMPROPERLY INFLATED TIRES IS
HAZARDOUS AND WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT TRACTION, STEERING AND HANDLING.
