Periodic maintenance and adjustment
WARNING
• The front and rear tires should be of
the same make and design, otherwi-
se the handling characteristics of the
motorcycle may be dierent, which
could lead to an accident.
• Always make sure that the valve caps
are securely installed to prevent air
pressure leakage.
WARNING
• Use only the specied replacement ti-
res. Other tires may run the danger of
bursting at super high speeds.
• Brand-new tires can have a relatively
poor grip on certain road surfaces un-
til they have been “broken in”. There
• fore, it is advisable before doing any
high-speed riding to ride conservati-
vely for approximately 100 km (60 mi)
after installing a new tire.
• The tires must be warmed up before a
high-speed run.
• Always adjust the tire air pressure ac-
cording to the operating conditions.
