and sprockets. Therefore, clean
the drive chain every 500 mi with
chain cleaner, and lubricate it with
special a chain lubricant.
Tires
Check the tire air pressure
and tread pattern after the first
500 mi and every 2000 mi
thereafter.
Besides
regular
inspections, make it a habit to
check the tire air pressure from
time to time, to ensure maximum
safety and long tire life.
Tire pressure
Low tire pressures may
intensify tire wear and badly
affect the driving stability, causing
difficulties in turning. Too high
tire pressures may reduce the
contact area between the tires and
road surface, causing wheel-slip
and even loss of control. It is
necessary to always keep the tire
pressure within the specified limit.
Tire pressure adjustment shall be
made when the tire is cold.
Tread pattern
When driving a motorcycle
with over-worn tires, the driving
stability is low and it may get out
of control. When the depth of
front wheel tread pattern is
reduced to 1.6 mm or less, it is
advisable to replace the tire. When
the tread pattern of rear wheel is
reduced to 2 mm or less, replace
the tire with a new one.
Warning
：
Problems may happen if no
standard tire is used. You are
strongly encouraged to use the
standard tire.
Correct tire inflation pressure
is very important for normal
vehicle performance and driving
safety. Check the tire wear and
inflation pressure from time to
time.
