FRONT WHEEL/FRONT FORK/STEERING
RIM VALVE REPLACEMENT
● Cut off the rim valve at its base.
● Apply mild detergent solution to a replacement rim
valve and insert it from inside of the rim.
·Be sure to use the recommended rim valve.
·Do not damage the valve hole.
·Replace the rim valve whenever installing a tubeless
tire.
RIM INSPECTION
● For a tube type tire, check the rim band and rim lock to
be sure they are installed properly.
·Any attempt to mount passenger car tires on a
motorcycle rim may cause the tire bead to separate
from the rim with enough explosive force to cause
serious injury or death.
·Always change rims which have been bent or have
cracks, as they may cause air leakage.
·Always change the rim if there are any flaws over
0.5mm in depth and 1.0mm in width on the surface
touching the bead.
● Check the tire for overall condition and use a mild
detergent solution on the bead.
TUBELESS TIRE INSTALLATION
● Use only water as a lubricant when removing or
mounting tires.
● Soap or other tire lubricants may leave a slippery
residue that can cause the tire to shift on the rim.
·A tire that shifts on the rim may lead to a sudden loss
of air pressure while riding and an accident could
occur.
·Be sure to use motorcycle tire levers.
·Do not use the detergent solution on low pressure
tires. Use water only.
