CHECKING THE TIRE
●
TIRE PRESSURE
1)Recommended tire pressure
Front 35 kPa (0.35 kg/cm
2
, 5.0 psi)
Rear 30 kPa (0.30 kg/cm
2
, 4.3 psi)
2)Tire pressure below the minimum specifi-
cation could cause the tire to dislodge
from the rim under severe riding condi-
tions.
The following are minimums:
Front 32 kPa (0.32 kg/cm
2
, 4.6 psi)
Rear 27 kPa (0.27 kg/cm
2
, 3.9 psi)
3)Use no more than
Front 250 kPa (2.5 kg/cm
2
, 36 psi)
Rear 250 kPa (2.5 kg/cm
2
, 36 psi)
when seating the tire beads. Higher pres-
sures may cause the tire to burst.
Inflate the tires slowly and carefully.
Fast inflation could cause the tire to
burst.
●
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
1)Vehicle load limit (total weight of cargo,
rider and accessories, and tongue
weight): 220 kg (485 lb)
2)Front carrier : 45 kg (99 lb)
3)Rear carrier : 85 kg (187 lb)
4)Storage box: 2.0 kg (4.4 lb)
5)Trailer hitch:
Pulling load (total weight of trailer and
cargo): 550 kg (1,212 lb)
Tongue weight (vertical weight on trailer
hitch point): 15 kg (33 lb)
Be extra careful of the machine balance
and stability when towing a trailer.

Adjust.
NOTE:
●
The low-pressure tire gauge
1
is included
as standard equipment.
●
If dust or the like is stuck to this gauge, it will
not provide the correct readings. Therefore,
take two measurements of the tire’s pressure
and use the second reading.
