In fact, by checking the pressure soon afterwards
using the motorcycle, you would obtain a higher
value than the actual one. This could cause an
incorrect adjustment of the tyre pressure.
Refer to the pressures given in § 8.2. and/or on
the label applied to the steering head tube. In the
event of long travels, you can increase the face
value of the tyre pressure of 0.2 bar.
Moreover, it is extremely important to check the
wear of the tyres before riding. In fact, a worn out
tyre can be punctured more easily than a new
one, and it can adversely affect handling and sta-
bility of the motorcycle.
Check that the depth of the tyre tread is not below
the values prescribed by the Highway Code.
Verify the absence of crevices at the bottom of the
tread design and fissures on the tyre sidewall.
Moreover, verify the absence of nails and glass
splinters in the tyre. If these conditions are not
verified, have the tyre replaced by an authorized
MV Agusta dealer.
WARNING
The limits of the tyre tread depth may
vary from country to country. Always
refer to the values prescribed by the law
provisions of the nation in which you
use your motorcycle.
WARNING
• If the tyres of your motorcycle are
excessively worn out, have it replaced
by your MV Agusta dealer. Besides
being illegal, riding a motorcycle with
excessively worn out tyres can reduce
its stability and lead to the loss of con-

• If a tyre is punctured it must be
replaced, not repaired. A repaired tyre
provides a restricted performance and
lower safety levels than a new one. If
you make a provisional or emergency
repair to a tyre, you must ride at very
low speed until you reach the nearest
