TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
Correct tire inflation pressure will provide maximum stability,
comfort, and tire life. Always check tire pressure before operating the
motorcycle when the tires are cold.Always check the tire pressures
before each ride and adjust as necessary.
Failure to maintain correct tire pressures or observe payload limits
for your tires mayadverselyaffect handling and performance of the
motorcycle and may result in loss of control and an accident. The
maximum recommended load in addition to the weight of the vehicle
is 300 lbs (136 kg).
WARNING: Incorrect tire inflation will lead to abnormal tread
wear and instability problems may lead to loss of control and an
accident. Underinflation mayresult in either rim damage or the
tire slipping or coming off the rim. Over inflation will cause
instability, limited traction, and accelerated tread wear.
Bothconditions are dangerous and may lead to loss of control and
an accident.

TIRE TREAD WEAR
As the tire accumulates miles, the tread wears down and becomes
more susceptible to punctures. It is estimated that 90% of all tire
problems occur during the last 10% of tread life. For this reason it is
highly recommended that you not useyour tires until they have been
worn to their minimum.
TREAD WEAR INSPECTION
In accordancewith the periodic maintenanceschedule, measure the
depth of the tread with a depth gauge and replace any tire that has
worn to or beyond the minimum allowable tread depth.
MINIMUM TIRE TREAD DEPTH
1.5mm (0.059 in)
WARNING: Riding on tires worn to their minimum or beyond is
dangerous and dramatically increases you chances of a puncture
or malfunction leading to rapid tire deflation.This can lead to loss
of control and anaccident.
