Tube Repair and Replacement
If a tube is punctured or damaged,you should
replace it as soon as possible. A tube that is
repaired may not have the same reliability as a
new one, and it may fail while you are riding.
If you need to make a temporary repair by
patching a tube or using an aerosol sealant, ride
cautiously at reduced speed and have the tube
replaced before you ride again. Any time a tube
is replaced, the tire should be carefully inspected.

Tire Replacement
The tires that came on your motorcycle were
designed to match the performance capabilities
of your motorcycle and provide the best
combination of handling,braking,durability and
comfort.
The recommended tires for your motorcycle are:
Front: 21 X 7.00-10
Rear: 21 X 7.00-10
Whenever you replace a tire, use one that is
equivalent to the original and be sure the wheel
is balanced after the new tire is installed.
Also remember to replace the inner tube
whenever you replace a tire. The old tube will
probably be stretched, and if installed in a new
tire, it could fail.
Installing improper tires on your motorcycle
can affect handling and stability.This 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.
