TIRES & TUBES
Tires are an essential safety factor on your mini motorcycle. They must be properly inflated and free from excessive
tread wear to maintain adequate traction levels and ensure longevity.
Tire pressure measurement
Maintaining proper tires inflation ensures tire durability and maximum tread life. The proper tire pressure also
prevents your tires from sharp rocks and other obstacles damages that may be encountered off-road. It is mandatory
to measure the tire pressure when tires are "cold." Failure to do so will result in an inaccurate pressure reading.

Check the tires’ condition
Before riding, always check the wear of the tires as follows
1.
Look for crevices and fissures, protruding nails and glass splinters, as well as rocks or other embedded foreign
bodies. Remove these particles before riding.
2.
Check the depth of the tire tread. Have the tire replaced when the tread depth at the center is less than 5 mm (0.2
inches) or when you notice reduced tire traction.
3.
Check the valve stem. Any tilt in the valve stem tells that the tube is not centered over the hole.
If so, please contact an authorized YCF motorcycle dealer, as this can cause tire puncture with subsequent accident.
Warning
.
Maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is paramount to optimise your safety as well as your Mini
motorcycle’s performance. Never ride your Mini motorcycle if the tires are insufficiently inflated, over-
inflated or worn out. Failure to overlook these warnings may lead to the deflation of the tires and loss of
control of your Mini motorcycle, with subsequent serious injury or even death.
