brake fluid:

TIRES
With only 1 front and 1 rear tire to safely maintain the vehicle in contact with the road, proper care and maintenance is
critical. To maintain them in good condition check for the following:
•
Inflation
- The motorcycle will not handle properly if the air pressure is too low or too high. See Tire
Specifications for more information.
•
Check before riding when tires are cold.
•
Do not over-inflate tires.
•
Tread - Worn or uneven tread can make the motorcycle hard to handle, particularly on wet pavement. Riding
with excessively worn, unbalanced, or improperly inflated tires is hazardous and will adversely affect traction,
steering and handling.
