Tires, air pressure
Tire type, tire condition, and how much air pressure the tires have in them affect the way
your motorcycle rides, and they must therefore be checked whenever you’re getting ready to
go anywhere on your motorcycle.

FOR DRIVING SAFETY AND MAXIMUM HANDLING, ONLY USE TIRES AUTHORIZED BY KTM COR-
RESPONDING TO THE "ZR" SPEED INDEX (OVER 240 KPH). OTHER TIRES CAN HAVE A NEGATIVE
EFFECT ON THE MOTORCYCLE'S HANDLING (E.G. CAN CAUSE IT TO "WOBBLE" AT HIGHER SPEEDS).
– Tire type and size can be found in the technical specifications and in the homologation
certificate
– Tire condition has to be checked every time you want to ride your motorcycle. Before
leaving check for punctures and nails or other sharp objects that might have become
embedded in the tire.
– Refer to the specific regulations in your country for minimum tire tread requirements.
We recommend replacing tires at the latest when the tread is down to 2 mm (0.08 in).
– Tire pressure should be checked regularly on a „cold“ tire. Adapt the air pressure to the
motorcycle's total weight. Proper pressure ensures optimum driving comfort and extends
the life of your tires.
– DO NOT MOUNT TIRES WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED BY KTM. OTHER TIRES COULD
HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE WAY YOUR MOTORCYCLE RIDES.
– USE TIRES OF THE SAME BRAND AND TYPE FOR THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS.
– FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY REPLACE DAMAGED TIRES IMMEDIATELY.
– WORN TIRES CAN HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON HOW YOUR MOTORCYCLE PERFORMS, ESPE-
CIALLY ON WET SURFACES.
– IF AIR PRESSURE IS TOO LOW, ABNORMAL WEAR AND OVERHEATING OF THE TIRE CAN RESULT
– NEW WHEELS HAVE A SMOOTH SURFACE, WHICH MEANS THAT THEY MUST BE RUN IN TO
ACHIEVE FULL GRIP. FOR THIS PURPOSE, RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE CAREFULLY AT MODER-
ATE SPEED DURING THE FIRST 200 KILOMETERS (125 MILES) WITH NEW TIRES, TILTING
THE VEHICLE AT DIFFERENT ANGLES SO THAT ALL SECTIONS ARE PROPERLY ROUGHENED.
TIRES WILL NOT DISPLAY THEIR FULL GRIP CHARACTERISTICS UNTIL THEY ARE PROPERLY
RUN IN.
– FOR REASONS OF SAFETY, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO EXCHANGE THE VALVE INSERT WHEN-
EVER A NEW TIRE IS MOUNTED.
