MAINTENANCE
Insufficient tire pressure not only advances wear
but also affects the riding stability. Under-
inflated tires make turning not smooth and over-
inflated tires decrease the contact area with the
ground, which can lead to skid and loss of
control. Make sure that the inflation pressure is
within the specified limits all the time.
Tire pressure
NOTE
:
Check the tire inflation pressure and
tire tread condition at the interval listed in the
periodic maintenance schedule. For
maximum safety and better tire life, the tire
pressure should be inspected more often.
WARNING
Fail to follow the instruction below may result
in an accident due to tire failure. The rider's
personal safety is dependent on the condition
of the scooter's tires.
Check tire condition and pressure, and
adjust the inflation pressure before each ride.
Avoid overload on the vehicle.
Replace tires which have been worn to the
specified limit, or have any damages such as
cuts or cracks.
Always use the designated size and type of
tires as specified in this Manual.
Balance the wheel after tire installation.
Failure to perform the break-in of the tires can
cause tire slip and loss of control.
Be very careful when riding on new tires as
the grip is limited between the ground.
Perform proper break-in of the tires to avoid
excessive acceleration, sharp cornering, or
hard braking for the first 160 km (100 miles).

NOTE
:
Tire pressure should only be
adjusted when the tires are cold.
