Always check air pressure when your tyres are “cold”
when the motorcycle has been parked for at least
three hours. If you check air pressure when your tyres
are “warm” when the motorcycle has been ridden for
even a few miles the readings will be higher than if the
tyres were “cold”.
This is normal, so do not let air out of the tyres to
match the recommended cold air pressures given
below. If you do, the tyres will be underinflated.
The recommended “cold” tyre pressures are:
Inspection
Whenever you check the tyre pressures, you should
also examine the tyre treads and sidewalls for wear,
damage, and foreign objects.
Look for:
•
Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread.
Replace the tyre if you find any bumps or bulges.
•
Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre. Replace the tyre if
you can see fabric or cord.
•
Excessive tread wear.

carefully inspect the tyres for damage.
