Maintenance
B
The use of the motorcycle with excessively worn tyres
diminishes the roadholding and is therefore danger-
ous. It is highly recommended to change the tyres
when the tyre tread reaches a minimum of 1.5 mm.
Ride with extreme care during the initial kilo-
metres after replacing the tyres.
Utilise exclusively the tyres recommended.
Tyre tread minimum limit = 1.5 mm
FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS
Check
¨
Every 6000 kilometres and at every
tyre change.
Substitute
¨
Every 36000 kilometres.
If excessive play of the front wheel bearings is found
during checks, then substitute them as indicated in
chapter F “Suspension and wheels”.
Maintenance
1.5 mm
TYRES
Check pressures
¨
At the pre-delivery, at the first
1000 kilometres and then every
6000 kilometres.
Check wear
¨
At the first 1000 kilometres and
then every 6000 kilometres.
If the tyre pressures are too high or too low, the ride is
affected and tyre life duration is accentuated.
Therefore maintain the correct tyre pressures to obtain
better roadholding and the maximum wear from the
tyres. The cold tyre pressures are indicated in the
table.
