Tubeless Tyres

To safely operate your motorcycle, the tyres must be
the proper type and size, in good condition with
adequate tread, and correctly inflated for the load you
are carrying. The following pages give more detailed
information on how and when to check your air
pressure, how to inspect your tyres for damage, and
what to do when your tyres need to be repaired or
replaced.
WARNING
!
Using tyres that are excessively worn or improperly
inflated can cause a crash in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's manual
regarding tyre inflation and maintenance.
Air Pressure
Keeping your tyres properly inflated provides the best
combination of handling, tread life, and riding comfort.
Generally, underinflated tyres wear unevenly,
adversely affect handling, and are more likely to fail
from being overheated.
Overinflated tyres make your motorcycle ride more
harshly, are more prone to damage from surface
hazards, and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually check your tyres
before every ride and use a gauge to measure air
pressure at least once a month or any time you think
the tyres might be low.
Tubeless tyres have some self-sealing ability if they
are punctured. However, because leakage is often
very slow, you should look closely for punctures
whenever a tyre is not fully inflated.
Always check air pressure when your tyres are "cold"
when the motorcycle has been parked for at least
three hours. If you check air pressure when your tyres
are "warm" when the motorcycle has been ridden for
even a few miles the readings will be higher than if the
tyres were "cold". This is normal, so do not let air out
of the tyres to match the recommended cold air
pressures given below. If you do, the tyres will be
underinflated.
