Warning
Danger of accidents
Reduced road grip with new tires.

the first 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) by moderate driving at alternating angles. The full grip is not reached until the vehicle
has been run in.
Info
The type, condition and air pressure of the tires all have an important impact on the riding behavior of the motorcycle.
Worn tires have a negative effect on riding behavior, especially on wet surfaces.
