Lubrication of the Drive Chain

can reach every chain plate, pin, bush and roller.
Tire
A proper tire pressure is the basis of stable performance, comfortable
ride and sturdiness. Check on the tire pressure and adjust accordingly.
Check tire pressure under a “cold” condition before riding.
Front Tire
Rear Tire
Tire pressure under normal
temperature:
190±10 kpa
210±10 kpa
Change the tires when the central thread depth is as follows:
Advice:
Exceeding the specified tyre pressure would result in
abrasion of its tread and could compromise safety.
Insufficient tyre pressure could cause skidding.
Over-worn tyres have lower traction to the road sur-
face and are very dangerous for riding.
Minimum thread depth
