To safely operate your scooter, the tyres
must be of the proper type and size, in
good condition with adequate tread, and
correctly inflated for the load that you are
carrying. The following pages give more
detailed information on how or when to
check air pressure, how to inspect the tyres
for damage, and what to do when tyres
need to be repaired or replaced.
TYRES
Recommended "Cold" tyre pressure are:
Always check air pressure when the tyres
are cold, when your scooter has been
parked for atleast three hours. If you check
the tyre air pressure when they are warm or
when the scooter has been ridden for a few
kilometers, the reading will be higher
than if the tyres were cold. This is normal
so do not let the air out of the tyres to match
the recommended cold air pressure given
below. If you do so, the tyres will be under
inflated.
We recommend that you visually check
the 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 is low.
Over-inflated tyres make your scooter
ride more harshly, are more prone to
damage from road hazards, and wear
unevenly.
WARNING
Follow all instructions in this owner's
manual regarding tyre inflation and
maintenance.
Using tyres that are excessively worn
or improperly inflated can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously
injured.
Generally under-inflated tyres wear
unevenly, adversely affect handling, and
are more likely to be overheated.
Air Pressure
Keeping tyres properly inflated provides
the best combination of handling, tread
life and riding comfort.
