When you replace a tire, be sure to
replace it with a tire of the size and
type listed below. If you use a different
size or type of tire, vehicle handling
may be adversely affected, possibly
resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Be sure to balance the wheel after
repairing a puncture or replacing the
tire. Proper wheel balance is impor-
tant to avoid variable wheel-to-road
contact, and to avoid uneven tire
wear.

WARNING
An improperly repaired, installed,
or balanced tire can cause loss of
control and an accident, or can
wear out sooner.
• Ask your Suzuki dealer or a
qualified mechanic to perform
tire repair, replacement, and bal-
ancing because proper tools
and experience are required.
• Install tires according to the
rotation direction shown by
arrows on the sidewall of each
tire.
WARNING
Failure to follow the instructions
below for tubeless tires may result
in an accident due to tire failure.
Tubeless tires require different
service procedures than tube
tires.
• Tubeless tires require an air-
tight seal between the tire bead
and wheel rim. Special tire irons
and rim protectors or a special-
ized tire mounting machine
must be used for removing and
installing tires to prevent tire or
rim damage which could result
in an air leak.
• Repair punctures in tubeless
tires by removing the tire and
applying an internal patch.
• Do not use an external repair
plug to repair a puncture since
the plug may work loose as a
result of the cornering forces
experienced by a motorcycle
tire.
• After repairing a tire, do not
exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) for the
first 24 hours, and do not
exceed 130 km/h (80 mph) there-
after. This is to avoid excessive
heat build-up which could result
in a tire repair failure and tire
deflation.
• Replace the tire if it is punctured
in the sidewall area, or if a punc-
ture in the tread area is larger
than 6 mm (3/16 in). These punc-
tures cannot be repaired ade-
quately.
