(250 kpa ± 6.2 kpa)
TIRE MAINTENANCE
Check the air pressure in all tires before riding. Improper
air pressure will affect handling, steering response, traction,
tire life , and rider comfort. Be sure tires are inflated to the
pressures shown below.
NOTE: Tire pressure should only be measured or
adjusted when tires are cold.
REPLACING
TIRES
When tires are worn, the traction of the vehicle will be
decreased
, which increases the chance of having an acci-
dent. Tires should be replaced when the depth on the tread is
1.6 in . (1.5 mm) or less on the front tire or 0.08 in . (2 mm) on
the rear tire (as measured from the center of tread). Replace
tire immediately if the wear
indicators are visible.
Always use identical replacement tires. Using improper tires
on the unit could cause loss of control, which could increase
your risk of accident.
Recommended tire size:
•
Front 90/90-21 54H
•
Rear
140/70-18 67H

WARNING:
When replacing a tire:
• Have
the tire replaced by your local service center.
Check the tire pressure carefully while inflating. Too much
air in the tire could cause the tire to burst, causing serious
personal injury.
A
WARNING:
Maintaining correct air pressure in the tires is very impor-
tant. Too little pressure could allow the tire to rotate off
the wheel rim. Too much pressure could cause the tire to
burst. Failure to maintain correct air pressure in the tires
could cause problems with vehicle operation and stability,
causing serious personal injury.
TIRE REPAIR
When inspecting tires, always check for:
•
Bumps or bulges on the tire (replace if there are any)
•
Cuts or cracks (replace if any fabric is visible)
•
Foreign objects such as nails embedded in tire
•
Excessive wear
If you drive over a pothole or any hard object, pull to the side
of the road and inspect the tire for possible damage.
This motorcycle uses tubeless tires. If your tire is punctured
or damaged , it should be replaced using only tubeless tires.
A repaired tire may fail while riding and is not as reliable as a
new one . A temporary repair can be made in an emergency
situation , but the tire should be replaced as soon as possible.
Ride at slow speeds and do not carry a passenger with a
repaired tire
.
•
Have the wheel balanced after installation.
Safety Reminders:
•
Do not replace with a radial tire. Using a different type of
tire may affect stability and handling.
•
Do not replace with car tires. The tire may forcefully sepa-
rate from the rim during installation
, causing serious injury
or death. Car tires handle differently than motorcycle tires
and will negatively affect handling.
