HERO Achiever - TUBELESS TYRES; Tyre Air Pressure Guidelines

TUBELESS TYRES
The tyres fitted on your motorcycles are of
TUBELESS type.
To safely operate your motorcycle, your tyres
must be of 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 the air
pressure, how to inspect your tyres for
damage, and what to do when your tyres need
to be repaired or replaced.
î Using tyres that are excessively worn or
improperly inflated can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
î Follow all instructions in this owner's manual
regarding tyres inflation and maintenance.
WARNING
!!
Air Pressure
Keeping your tyres properly inflated provides
the best combination of handling, tread life
and riding comfort.
Generally, under-inflated tyres wear unevenly,
adversely affect handling and are morelikely to
fail from being overheated.
Over-inflated tyres make your motorcycle ride
harshly, are more prone to damage from road
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 pressure 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
km-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 under-inflated.
The recommended “cold” tyre pressures are:
