Checking the tire condition
Info
Only mount tires approved and/or recommended by KTM.
Other tires could have a negative effect on ride behavior.
The type, condition and air pressure of the tires all have an important impact on the riding behavior of the motorcycle.
The front and rear wheels must be mounted with tires with similar profiles.
Worn tires have a negative effect on riding behavior, especially on wet surfaces.

Check the front and rear tires for cuts, run-in objects and other damage.
» If tires show signs of damage, such as cuts or foreign bodies embedded in the
carcass:
–
Change the tire.
–
Check the depth of the tread.

Info
The tire's date of the manufacture is usually part of the tire markings and
is indicated by the last four digits of the
DOT marking. The first two digits
indicate the week of manufacture and the last two digits the year of manu-
facture.
KTM recommends that the tires are changed regardless of the actual wear,
at the latest after 5 years.
