TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
Correct tire inflation pressure will provide maximum stability,
comfort, and tire life. Always check tire pressure before operating the
motorcycle when the tires are cold. Always check the tire pressures
before each ride and adjust as necessary.
Failure to maintain correct tire pressures or observe payload limits
for your tires may adversely affect handling and performance of the
motorcycle and may result in loss of control and an accident. The
maximum recommended load in addition to the weight of the vehicle
is 300 lbs (136 kg).
WARNING: Incorrect tire inflation will lead to abnormal tread
wear and instability problems may lead to loss of control and an
accident. Under inflation may result in either rim damage or the
tire slipping or coming off the rim. Over inflation will cause
instability, limited traction, and accelerated tread wear.
Both conditions are dangerous and may lead to loss of control and
an accident.
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
FRONT TIRE 36 psi / 248 kpa
REAR TIRE 32psi / 221 kpa
TIRE TREAD WEAR
As the tire accumulates miles, the tread wears down and becomes
more susceptible to punctures. It is estimated that 90% of all tire
problems occur during the last 10% of tread life. For this reason it is
highly recommended that you not use your tires until they have been
worn to their minimum.
TREAD WEAR INSPECTION
In accordance with the periodic maintenance schedule, measure the
depth of the tread with a depth gauge and replace any tire that has
worn to or beyond the minimum allowable tread depth.
MINIMUM TIRE TREAD DEPTH
1.5mm (0.059 in)
WARNING: Riding on tires worn to their minimum or beyond is
dangerous and dramatically increases you chances of a puncture
or malfunction leading to rapid tire deflation. This can lead to loss
of control and an accident.
