inflation pressure should be observed:
●
The pressure should be checked only
when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle
has been parked for at least 3 hours and
has not been driven for more than 1.5
km since, you will get an accurate cold
tire inflation pressure reading.
●
Always use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of a tire can be
misleading. Besides, the tire inflation
pressures that are even just a few
pounds off can degrade riding and
handling.
●
Do not exhaust or reduce tire
inflation pressure after driving.
It is
normal for the tire inflation pressure to
be higher after driving.
●
Be sure to reinstall the tire valve caps.
Without the valve caps, dirt, or moisture
could get into the valve core and cause
air leakage. If the caps have been lost,
have new ones put on as soon as
possible.
