Typical Tire Marking
Warning
Do not install tube-type tyres on
tubeless rims. The bead will not seat
and the tyres could slip on the rims,
causing rapid tyre deflation that may
result in a loss of vehicle control and
an accident. Never install an inner tube
inside a tubeless tyre. This will cause
friction inside the tyre and the
resulting heat build-up may cause the
tube to burst resulting in rapid tyre
deflation, loss of vehicle control and an
accident.
Warning
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles equipped with spoked
wheels and with tires marked 'TUBE
TYPE'.
Some brands of approved tires marked
'TUBELESS' may be suitable for use
with an inner tube. Where this is the
case, the tire wall will be marked with
text permitting the fitment of an inner
tube (see illustration below).
Use of an inner tube with a tire
marked 'TUBELESS', and NOT marked
as suitable for use with an inner tube,
or use of an inner tube on an alloy
wheel
marked
'SUITABLE
FOR
TUBELESS TYRES' will cause deflation
of the tire resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
