Checking the tire condition
Warning
Danger of accidents Uncontrollable handling characteristic caused by a flat tire.
–
For your own safety, have damaged tires changed immediately.
Warning
Danger of crashing Poor vehicle handling due to different tire tread patterns on front and rear wheels.
–
The front and rear wheels must be fitted with tires with similar tread patterns to prevent loss of control over the vehicle.
Warning
Danger of accidents
Uncontrollable handling characteristic due to non-approved and/or non-recommended tires/wheels.
–
Only tires/wheels approved by KTM and with the corresponding speed index should be used.
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced road grip with new tires.
–
New tires have a smooth rolling surface and therefore cannot provide full road grip. The entire rolling surface must be rough-
ened in the first 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) by moderate riding at alternating angles. The full grip levels are not achieved
until the tires have been run in.
Info
The type, condition and air pressure of the tires all have an impact on the braking and riding response of the vehicle.
Worn tires have a negative effect on vehicle handling, especially on wet surfaces.
