Tyre Rotation:
All three wheels of the STAR 4 STROKE are
interchangeable. However, the air pressure in the
tyre will depend on whether it is fitted in the front or
rear position. To ensure even tyre tread wear, it is
necessary to rotate the tyres and change the face of
the tyre (in relation to the wheel rim) after every
6000 kms. Follow the sequence for tyre rotation as
explained in fig. 39.
