Always check air pressure when your tyres
are ‘‘cold.’’ If you check air pressure when
your tyres are ‘‘warm’’ – even if your
motorcycle has only been ridden for a few
miles – the readings will be higher. If you let
air out of warm tyres to match the
recommended cold pressures, the tyres will
be underinflated.
The recommended ‘‘cold’’ tyre pressures
are:
Inspection
Whenever you check the tyre pressures,
you should also examine the tyre treads and
sidewalls for wear, damage, and foreign
objects:
Look for:
• Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or
the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any
bumps or bulges.
• Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre. Replace
the tyre if you can see fabric or cord.
• Excessive tread wear.
Also, if you hit a pothole or hard object, pull
to the side of the road as soon as you can
safely and carefully inspect the tyres for
damage.
