PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-23
TIRES
TIRE TREAD CONDITION
Operating the motorcycle with excessively worn tires will
decrease riding stability and consequently invite a dangerous
situation. It is highly recommended to replace a tire when the
remaining depth of tire tread reaches the following specification.
Tire tread depth (Recommended depth):
Service Limit: FRONT: 1.6 mm (0.06 in)
REAR : 2.0 mm (0.08 in)
09900-20805: Tire depth gauge
TIRE PRESSURE
If the tire pressure is too high or too low, steering will be
adversely affected and tire wear will increase. Therefore, main-
tain the correct tire pressure for good roadability, or shorter tire
life will result. Cold inflation tire pressure is as follows.
Cold inflation tire pressure:
Solo riding: Front: 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm
2
, 36 psi)
Rear: 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm
2
, 36 psi)
Dual riding: Front: 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm
2
, 36 psi)
Rear: 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm
2
, 36 psi)
TIRE TYPE:
IRC (Front: RX-01F D, Rear: RX-01R)
Inspect every 5 000 km (3 000 miles, 15 months).
The standard tire fitted on this motorcycle is
110/80-17M/C 57H for the front and 140/70-17M/C 66H
for the rear. The use of tires other than those specified
may cause instability. It is highly recommended to use
the specified tires.
