WARNING
Mismatched tires, rims and air valves may result in damage to the
tire bead during mounting or may allow the tire to slip off the rim,
possibly resulting in tire failure.
TTIIRREE CCOONNDDIITTIIOONN
Inspect the tire sidewalls, road contact surface, and tread base for
cuts, punctures, and cracking. Replace damaged tires
immediately. See the
INDIAN MOTORCYCLE Service Manual or an
authorized INDIAN MOTORCYCLE dealer can assist.
TTIIRREE TTRREEAADD DDEEPPTTHH
Replace any tire with a tread depth of less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).
Tread wear indicators are located in at least six places on the tread
circumference and become visible at a tread depth of
approximately 1/16 inch (1.6 mm). The tread wear indicators
appear as a solid band across the tread.
You may also use a depth gauge or an accurate ruler to measure
the depth of the center tire tread on both front and rear tires.
TTIIRREE PPRREESSSSUURREE
Always check and adjust tire pressure when tires are cold. Do not
adjust tire pressure immediately after riding. Wait at least 3 hours
after riding to check pressure. If pressure checked and adjusted
while tires are warm, the pressure will drop as tires cool and result
in under inflation. Adjust tire pressure as recommended for the
total weight of your intended load (see tire pressure chart). For
more information, refer to the manufacturing information label
located on the front frame down tube.
WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum recommended inflation pressure to
seat the bead. Tire or rim failure may result.
