Tires

Tires are the only contact between the
vehicle and the road. Safety in all con-
ditions of riding depends on a relatively
small area of road contact. Therefore, it
is essential to maintain the tires in good
condition at all times and replace them
at the appropriate time with the speci-
fied tires.

Tire air pressure

The tire air pressure should be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted
before each ride.

WARNING

EWA14382

Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause se-
