MAINTENANCE
70
If the inflation pressure is too high, the irregularities
of the ground are not properly cushioned and are
then transmitted to the handlebar, compromising
road holding in turns. If the inflation pressure is
insufficient, the sidewalls of the tires work harder
and there is a risk of tire slippage on the rim or
detachment, with consequent loss of control of the
vehicle: in the event of sudden braking, the tires
could come off from the rims. In turns, the vehicle
may skid.
It is advisable, if possible, to always use the same
pressure gauge to check the pressure so as not to
measure incorrect values caused by the variability
between different gauges.
TIRES
For tire pressure values, brand, type and dimensions refer to
the “TECHNICAL DATA” section.
Check the tire pressure at room temperature,
because if the tires are warm, the measurement will
not be correct.
The tires ambient temperature means that the
vehicle has been stationary for at least three hours
or has travelled a distance of less than 2 km (1 mi).
Check the fuel consumption and tire pressure (at room
temperature) before and after each long trip.
