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 or other qualified
dealer.
TTIIRREE TTRREEAADD DDEEPPTTHH
Replace any tire with a tread depth of less than 1/16 in (1.6 mm).
Tread wear indicators are located in at least three places on the
tread circumference and become visible at a tread depth of
approximately 1/16 in (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 underinflation.
Adjust tire pressure as recommended for the total weight of your
intended load (see chart below). For more information, refer to the
manufacturing information label located on the front frame
downtube. See page 19.
WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum recommended inflation pressure to
seat the bead. Tire or rim failure may result.
