Tires
The recommended tires for your motorcycle are:
front BRIDGESTONE G709 RADIAL 130/70R18M/C 63H
rear BRIDGESTONE G704 RADIAL 180/60R16M/C 74H

Whenever you replace a tire, remember:
• Have the wheel balanced after the tire is installed.
• Have the tire replaced by your dealer.
Important Safety Reminders
• Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tire on this motorcycle. Excessive heat
build-up can cause the tube to burst.
• Use only tubeless tires on this motorcycle. The rims are designed for tubeless
tires, and during hard acceleration or braking, a tube-type tire could slip on
the rim and cause the tire to rapidly deflate.
• Do not install car tires on this motorcycle. During installation the tire may
separate from the rim with enough force to cause serious injury or death.
• When replacing tires, use only the recommended tires as shown above and on
the tire information label. Use of other tires on the model equipped with ABS
may impair proper ABS function. The ABS computer works by comparing
wheel speed.
Non-recommended tires can affect wheel speed and may confuse the ABS
computer.
• If you ever replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match
those of the original wheels.
Be sure you use only TPMS-specific wheels. Not using TPMS-specific
wheels can cause an air leak, a tire pressure monitoring system failure, or
both.
Replacement wheels are available at your dealer.
