Maintenance Fundamentals
Have your tires replaced by your dealer.
For recommended tires, air pressure and
minimum tread depth, see “Specifications.”
Follow these guidelines whenever you replace
tires.
Use the recommended tires or equivalents
●
of the same size, construction, speed rating,
and load range.
Have the wheel balanced with Honda
●
Genuine balance weights or equivalents.
Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tire on
●
this motorcycle. Excessive heat build-up can
cause the tube to burst.
Use only tubeless tires on this motorcycle.
●
The rims are designed for tubeless tires, and
during hard acceleration or braking, a
tube-type tire could slip on the rim and
cause the tire to rapidly deflate.
WARNING
Installing improper tires on your
motorcycle can adversely affect
handling and stability, and 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.
