WARNING

Tires & Tubes

Tire Replacement

The tires that came on your CRF were designed
to provide a good combination of handling,
braking, durability, and comfort across a broad
range of riding conditions.

• When replacing, use the original equipment

tires or equivalent tires of the same size,
construction, speed rating, and load range as
the originals.

• Replace the tube any time you replace a tire.

The old tube will probably be stretched and, if
installed in a new tire, could fail.

Front

Rear

Type

80/100 – 21 51M

DUNLOP

100/90 – 19 57M

DUNLOP

MX51F

MX51

bias-ply, tube

Installing improper tires on your
motorcycle can affect handling and
stability. This can cause a crash in which
you can be seriously hurt or killed.

Always use the size and type of tires
recommended in this owner’s manual.
