Tyres (Inspecting/Replacing)
#
Checking the Air Pressure
Visually inspect your tyres and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure
before each ride.
Always check air pressure when your tyres are
cold.
If you decide to adjust the tyre pressure for a
particular riding condition, make changes a little
at a time.
#
Inspecting for Damage
Inspect the tyres for cuts, slits, or cracks that
exposes fabric or cords, or nails or other foreign
objects embedded in the side of the tyre or the
tread. Also inspect for any unusual bumps or
bulges in the side walls of the tyres.
#
Inspecting for Abnormal Wear
Inspect the tyres for signs of abnormal wear on
the contact surface.
#
Inspecting Rims and Valve Stems
Inspect the rims for damage and loose spokes.
Also inspect the valve stems for their positions.
A tilted valve stem indicates the tube is slipping
inside the tyre or the tyre is slipping on the rim.
See your dealer.
