Inspecting Tread Depth

Inspect the tread wear indicators. If they

become visible, replace the tyres immediately.

For safe riding, you should replace the tyres

when the minimum tread depth is reached.

Inspecting Rims and Valve Stems

Inspect the rims for damage and loose spokes.

Also inspect the valve stems for their positions.

A tilted valve stem indicates the tube is slipping

inside the tyre or the tyre is slipping on the rim.

See your dealer.

WARNING

Riding on tyres that are excessively

worn or improperly inflated can cause a

crash in which you can be seriously hurt

or killed.

Follow all instructions in this owner's

manual regarding tyre inflation and

maintenance.
