Tyres
Checking tyre pressure
Incorrect tyre pressures im-
pair the motorcycle's hand-
ling characteristics and increase
the rate of tyre wear.
Always check that the tyre pres-
sures are correct.
At high road speeds, tyre
valves installed perpen-
dicular to the wheel rim have a
tendency to open as a result of
centrifugal force.
In order to avoid a sudden loss of
tyre pressure, fit a valve cap with
rubber sealing ring to the rear
tyre and make sure that the cap
is screwed on firmly.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Check tyre pressures against
the data below.
Tyre pressure, front
2.2 bar (one-up, tyre cold)
2.5 bar (two-up and/or with
luggage, tyre cold)
