Warning
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles equipped with spoked
wheels and with tires marked TUBE
TYPE.
Some brands of approved tire 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 mounting 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.

Tire Inflation Pressures
Warning
Incorrect tire inflation will cause
abnormal tread wear and instability
problems that may lead to loss of
control and an accident.
Underinflation may result in the tire
slipping on, or coming off the rim.
Overinflation will cause instability and
accelerated tread wear.
Both conditions are dangerous as they
may cause loss of control leading to an
accident.
Correct inflation pressure will provide
maximum stability, rider comfort and
tire life. Always check tire pressures
before riding when the tires are cold.
Check tire pressures daily and adjust if
necessary. See the Specification section
for details of the correct inflation
pressures.
