TYRES, TYRE PRESSURE
The type, the state and the pressure of the tyres condition the motor -
cycle’s behaviour on the road and they must be checked before every
journey.
- The dimension of the tyres is indicated in the technical data and in the
registration paper.
- The state of the tyres must be controlled before every journey.
Check the tyres by verifying that they are not cut, have nails or other
sharp objects pushed into them.
Regarding the minimum depth of the profile, respect the regulations
in force in your country. We recommend that the tyres are changed at
the latest, when the profile has reached a depth of 2 mm.
- The tyre air pressure must be checked regularly when the tyres are
“cold”. Correct adjustment of the pressure guarantees optimal comfort
when travelling and maximum duration of the tyre.
- HAVE EXCLUSIVELY TYRES OF APPROVED TYPE AND DIMENSIONS
MOUNTED ON YOUR VEHICLE AND HOWEVER ESTABLISHED BY TM.
DIFFERENT TYRES CAN NEGATIVELY CONDITION THE BEHAVIOUR
OF THE MOTORCYCLE ON THE ROAD AND BE THE CAUSE OF FINES
ENVISIONED BY THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE IN YOUR COUNTRY .
- TO GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS, DAMAGED
TYRES MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
- EXCESSIVELY WORN TYRES NEGATIVELY CONDITION THE BEHAVIOUR
OF THE MOTORCYCLE, MOST OF ALL ON WET SURFACES.
- INCORRECT PRESSURE LEADS TO ANOMALOUS WEAR AND OVER-
HEATING OF THE TYRE.
CHECK ADJUSTMENT OF MAGNETIC SENSOR
FOR TACHOMETER (A)
In all the versions the magnetic sensor is located on the rear wheel.
END/SMR - The distance between the head of the screws (2) and the

erly. The distance of the sensor is adjusted by the shim (3). Do not remove
it, otherwise the sensor may hit the screws and get damaged.
SMM - The distance between the brake disc side face (4) and the sensor
(1) must be 2-4mm. If not, the tachometer may not work properly. The
