Saf ety Precautions
To safely operate your motorcycle, the tires
must be the proper type (off-road) and size, in
good condition with adequate tread, and
correctly inflated.
Refer to on page .
The following pages give detailed information
on how and when to check your air pressure,
how to inspect your tires for wear and damage,
and our recommendations on tire repair and
replacement.
Make sure the valve stem caps are secure. If
necessary, install a new cap.
Properly inflated tires provide the best
combination of handling, tread life, and riding
comfort. Generally, underinflated tires wear
unevenly, adversely affect handling, and are
more likely to fail from being overheated.
Underinflated tires can also cause wheel
damage in rocky terrain. Overinflated tires
make your motorcycle ride more harshly, are
more prone to damage from surface hazards,
and wear unevenly.
