Brake pad wear indicator
Visually check the brake pads wear. If the wear is
found beyond the wear indicator groove as shown
in the figure then, replace the brake pads as a set
with a new one.
Wear limit
Caution
Replace the brake pads, if the wear indicator shows
beyond the wear limit.
TYRES
Tyre pressure:
Check the tyre pressure atleast once in a week if
not more frequently. Insufficient air pressure in the
tyres not only hasten tyre wear, but also seriously
affects the stability of the vehicle.
Under inflated tyres make smooth cornering
difficult and over inflated tyres decreases the tyre
contact with the ground which can lead to skidding
and loss of control. Be sure that the tyre pressure is
within the specified limits at all times.
Solo Pillion
Front 1.75 kg/cm² (25 PSI) 1.75 kg/cm² (25 PSI)
Rear 2.00 kg/cm² (28 PSI) 2.25 kg/cm² (32 PSI)
Tyre tread condition
Operating the vehicle with excessively worn tyres
will decrease riding stability and can lead to loss of
control.
It is recommended to replace the tyre when the
tyre wears off to the tyre wear indicator level
(indicated by TWI on the tyre).
