HERO KARIZMA - Inspection; Tread Wear

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.
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 tyre 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.
The recommended “cold” tyre pressures are:
Front

2.00 kgf/cm (29 psi)

Over inflation/Under inflation will affect the

Check the tread wear indicator for tyre wear.
Inspection
î Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre. Replace the
tyre if you can see fabric or cord.
Whenever you check the tyre pressure, you
should also examine tyre treads & side walls
for wear, damage & foreign objects:
î Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or
the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any
bumps or bulges.
î Excessive tread wear.
î Carefully inspect the tyres for any damage, if
the motorcycle hits a pothole or hard object.
Tread Wear
Replace tyres immediately when the wear
indicator (1) appears on the tyre. The tread
limits are :
