CHECKING THE TIRES
The following procedure applies to all of the
tires.
1. Check:
• Tire pressure
Out of specification
→
Regulate.
WARNING
EWA13180
• The tire pressure should only be checked
and regulated when the tire temperature
equals the ambient air temperature.
• The tire pressure and the suspension must
be adjusted according to the total weight
(including cargo, rider, passenger and ac-
cessories) and the anticipated riding
speed.
• Operation of an overloaded vehicle could
cause tire damage, an accident or an injury.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHICLE.
WARNING
EWA13190
It is dangerous to ride with a worn-out tire.
When the tire tread reaches the wear limit, re-
place the tire immediately.
2. Check:
• Tire surfaces
Damage/wear
→
Replace the tire.
WARNING
EWA14080
• Do not use a tubeless tire on a wheel de-
signed only for tube tires to avoid tire fail-
ure and personal injury from sudden
deflation.
• When using a tube tire, be sure to install the
correct tube.
• Always replace a new tube tire and a new
tube as a set.
• To avoid pinching the tube, make sure the
wheel rim band and tube are centered in the
wheel groove.
• Patching a punctured tube is not recom-
mended. If it is absolutely necessary to do
so, use great care and replace the tube as
soon as possible with a good quality re-
placement.
