Wheels/Tires
Check the condition of the tires; they may not have any cracks,
grazes, etc. Also check the state of wear of the tread by means of the
indicators on the tire.
Check the tire pressure with a tire pressure gauge to which should be
as indicated under TECHNICAL DATA.
Tires age even if they do not visibly appear worn; cracks in the sides
or deformation of the tire body are a sign of ageing. Have the tires
checked by a tire dealer before using the motorcycle.
Caution
Tire pressure should be measured when the tire is at ambient
temperature.
Caution
The front and rear tire must be of the same brand and model. Using
different types of tire for the front and rear will compromise motorcycle
stability and handling.
Using the motorcycle with the tires inflated to an incorrect pressure or
with worn or deteriorated tires may cause serious injury or death if
losing control of the motorcycle.
