Have your tires replaced by your dealer.
For recommended tires, air pressure and
minimum tread depth, see
“Specifications.”
Follow these guidelines whenever you
replace tires.
●
Use the recommended tires or
equivalents of the same size,
construction, speed rating, and load
range.
●
Have the wheel balanced with Honda
Genuine balance weights or equivalent
after the tire is installed.
●
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.
WARNING
Installing improper tires on your
motorcycle can adversely affect
handling and stability, and can cause
a crash in which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires
recommended in this owner’s
manual.
