After mounting a new tire, ride conserva-
tively for a while to become accustomed
to the “feel” of the new tire and to allow
the tire to seat itself properly in the rim.
Failure to do so could lead to an accident
with possible injury to the rider or dam-
age to the motorcycle.
For tires with a direction of rotation mark 1 :
Install the tire with the mark printing in the
direction of wheel rotation.
