Tire
inspection
The condition of your motorcycle’s tires is vital for
operational efficiency and your safety. Check the tires’
inflation pressure, the tread depth, and look for damage
before each ride.
1.
Measure and adjust the tire pressure when the tires
are touching the ground (with no one seated on the
motorcycle).
NOTE: Measure the pressure before riding, as the heat
generated during operation may cause improper readings.
Do not inflate the tires beyond
2.5 kg/cm
2
.
NOTE: Check the tire’s tread before each ride. Replace
tires if the tread depth is less than the wear limit.
Tire tread wear limit:
FRONT 1.6 mm
REAR 2.0 mm
2.
Inspect the tires for nails, screws and other objects
that may be imbedded into the rubber.
3.
Check the tread depth
at the wear indicator points
.
If the tread is worn smooth at these points, the tire must
be replaced.
