TIRES AND WHEELS 1.8
TIRE INFLATION
1WARNING1WARNING
Do not inflate any tire beyond its maximum inflation
pressure as specified on tire sidewall. Overinflation may
cause tire to suddenly deflate which could result in death
or serious injury.
Check tire pressure and tread:
● Before every ride.
● At the 500 mile (800 km) service interval.
● At every scheduled service interval.
Check for proper front and rear tire pressures when tires are
cold. Compare pressure against Ta bl e 1-8.
WHEEL BEARINGS
Check wheel bearings:
● Every time the wheel is removed.
● At every 10,000 mile (16,000 km) service interval.
● When storing or removing the motorcycle for the season.
Check wheel bearings and axle spacers for wear and corro-
sion. Excessive play or roughness indicates worn bearings.
Replace bearings in sets only.
