Tire Pressure
A low pressure gauge is provided in
the tool kit under the seat, so you can
measure the air pressure in your LT-
Z90’s tires. Check the air pressure in
all tires before each use of the vehi-
cle. Improper air pressure can affect
handling, steering response, traction,
tire life and rider comfort. Be sure that
the tires are inflated to the pressures
shown below. Tire pressure should
only be measured or adjusted when
the tires are cold, or misleading mea-
surements can result.
Tire Replacement
Your ATV has low-pressure tubeless
tires. Air is sealed by the contact sur-
faces of the inner wheel rim and the
tire bead. If either the inner wheel rim
or tire bead is damaged, air may leak.
Be extremely careful not to damage
these sections when replacing tires.
It is very important to use the proper
tools when repairing or replacing tires
to prevent damage to the tire bead or
wheel rims. Have this work done by
your Suzuki dealer or a qualified tire
repair station.
When breaking the tire bead loose
from the wheel, be extremely careful
not to damage the inner wheel sur-
face or the tire bead.
Make sure that the arrow mark
A
on
the tire sidewall faces tire rotation
direction.

WARNING
Overfilling the tires can be hazard-
ous.
If you put too much air into a tire,
the tire may burst, causing severe
injury.
Check the air pressure from time
to time while inflating the tire
gradually, until the specified pres-
sure is obtained.
