Honda Goldwing F6B, Owner'S Manual

Page: 58 / 195

To safely operate your motorcycle, your tyres must be the proper type and size,
in good condition with adequate tread, and correctly inflated for the load you
are carrying. The following pages give more detailed information on how and
when to check your air pressure, how to inspect your tyres for damage, and
what to do when your tyres need to be repaired or replaced.
Keeping your tyres properly inflated provides the best combination of handling,
tread life and riding comfort. Generally, underinflated tyres wear unevenly,
adversely affect handling, and are more likely to fail from being overheated.
Overinflated tyres make your motorcycle ride harshly, are more prone to
damage from road hazards, and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually check your tyres before every ride and use a
gauge to measure air pressure at least once a month or any time you think the
tyres might be low.
Tubeless tyres have some self-sealing ability if they are punctured. However,
because leakage is often very slow, you should look closely for punctures
whenever a tyre is not fully inflated.
