14 WHEELS, TIRES

Warning
Danger of accidents Non-approved or non-recommended tires and wheels impact the handling characteristic.
–
Only use tires/wheels approved by Husqvarna Motorcycles with the corresponding speed index.
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced road grip with new tires.
–
New tires have a smooth rolling surface and therefore cannot provide full road grip. The entire rolling surface must be rough-
ened in the first 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) by moderate riding at alternating angles. The full grip levels are not achieved
until the tires have been run in.
Info
The type, condition, and air pressure of the tires all have a major impact on the handling characteristics of the motorcycle.
Worn tires have a negative effect on handling characteristics, especially on wet surfaces.
