WARNING
Operating the motorcycle with incorrect tires, incorrect tire
pressure or excessively worn tires could cause loss of control or
accident. Underinflation can cause a tire to overheat and result in
a tire failure. Always use the correct size and type of tires
specified by INDIAN MOTORCYCLE for your vehicle. Always
maintain proper tire pressure as recommended in the rider’s
manual and on safety labels.
TTIIRREE PPRREESSSSUURREE
Improper tire pressure can result in irregular tire wear, tire failure,
reduced fuel economy and a poor riding experience. It can also
affect handling and stopping ability.
Slow tire pressure loss over time is normal for a functional tire.
Although a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) will alert the
user to a low pressure condition (if equipped), always inspect tire
pressure and condition before each ride.
Check tire pressure before riding, when the tires are cold. This will
provide the most accurate reading, as riding warms the tires and
increases tire air pressure. Tires remain warm for at least 3 hours
after a ride. Do not adjust tire pressure immediately after riding.
As tires cool, the pressure will drop and result in underinflation.
Always check and adjust tire pressure when tires are cold.
Using supplied air pressure gauge, adjust tire pressure to the
recommended pressure. See page 131.
