Griso V1100
TYRES
WARNING
An over-inflated tyre results in a hard, uncomfortable and less secure ride.
Over inflation also affects grip, especially on curves and wet surfaces.
An under-inflated tyre (insufficient pressure) can slip on the wheel rim, resulting in loss of control.
Under inflation also affects grip and handling, as well as braking efficiency.
Tyre changing and repair, and wheel servicing and balancing are delicate operations. They should be
carried out using adequate tools and are best left to experienced mechanics.
New tyres may be covered with a thin layer of protective coating which is slippery. Drive carefully for
the first few kilometres (miles).
Never use rubber treatment products on the tyres.
In particular, do not allow the tyre to come in contact with liquid fuel, which rapidly deteriorates the
tyre rubber.
In case of contact with oil or fuel, do not clean but change the tyres.
DANGER
Some of the factory-assembled tyres of this vehicle are provided with wear indicators.
There are various types of wear indicators.
For more information on how to check the wear, contact your Dealer.
Check wear visually and have the tyres replaced when they are worn.
If a tyre deflates during a ride, do not attempt to continue the trip.
Avoid sudden braking or steering manoeuvres, and do not decelerate abruptly.
Slowly decelerate and move to the edge of the road braking with the engine until you come to a
standstill.
Failure to observe these instructions can result in accidents, with the risk of serious personal injury or
death.
Never use tube tyres on tubeless tyre rims, or vice versa.
