2-20 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
TIRE PRESSURE
If the tire pressure is too high or too low, steering will be ad-
versely affected and tire wear will increase. Therefore, maintain
the correct tire pressure for good roadability and a longer tire life.
Cold inflation tire pressure is as follows.

The standard tire fitted on this motorcycle is a 120/70
ZR17 (58 W) for the front (MICHELIN MACADAM 90XM)
and a 180/55 ZR17 (73 W) for the rear (MICHELIN MAC-
ADAM 90XM). The use of tires other than those specified
may cause instability. It is highly recommended to use
the specified tires.
STEERING
Inspect initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 1 month) and ev-
ery 12 000 km (7 500 miles, 12 months) thereafter.
The steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning of
the handlebars and safe operation. Overtight steering prevents
smooth turning of the handlebars and too loose steering will cause
poor stability. Check that there is no play in the front fork. Sup-
port the motorcycle so that the front wheel is off the ground. With
the wheel facing straight ahead, grasp the lower fork tubes near
the axle and pull forward. If play is found, readjust the steering.
