Periodic maintenance and adjustment
Tyres age, even if they have not been used
or have only been used occasionally. Crack-
ing of the tread and sidewall rubber, some-
times accompanied by carcass deforma-
tion, is an evidence of ageing. Old and aged
tyres shall be checked by tyre specialists to
ascertain their suitability for further use.
WARNING
• The front and rear tyres should
be of the same make and design,
otherwise the handling charac-
teristics of the motorcycle may be
dierent, which could lead to an
accident.
• Always make sure that the valve
caps are tighten properly.
Front tyre:
Size:
90/90-17
Rear tyre:
Size:
130/90-15
WARNING
• For replacement, use only the
specied tyres. Other tyres may
run the danger of bursting at very
high speeds.
• Brand-new tyres can have a rel-
atively poor grip on certain road
surfaces until they have been “run
in”. Therefore, it is advisable be-
fore doing any high-speed riding
to ride conservatively for approx-
imately 100 km (60 mi) after in-
stalling a new tyre.
• Always adjust the tyre air pressure
according to the operating condi-
tions.
