‘‘cold.’’ If you check air pressure when your
tires are ‘‘warm’’– even if your motorcycle has

match the recommended cold pressures, the
tires will be underinflated. The correct ‘‘cold’’
tire pressures are:
If you decide to adjust tire pressures for a
particular riding condition, make changes a

A flat tire or blowout is inconvenient and
may even cause a crash. Take time to inspect
