TIRES
This vehicle is equipped with tubeless tires.
NOTE Halve maintenance intervals if
you are riding in rainy or dusty conditions,
on rough road surfaces or when the vehicle
is used for racing.
WARNING
Check the inflation pressure at ambient
temperature every two weeks.
Check every 930 mi (1500 km) tire
condition and pressure at ambient
temperature, see page 103 (TECHNICAL
DATA).
Measuring pressure on hot tires will lead
to inaccurate measurement.
It is especially important to measure tire
pressure before and after a long trip.
Overinflated tires will not absorb bumps
when riding on rough road surfaces and
resulting vibration is transferred through
the handlebar, giving a hard ride and
reducing tire grip especially during
cornering.
Conversely, underinflation will put more
stress on the sidewalls (1) and the tire
may slip on the rim or even come off the
rim, leading to loss of control.
The tires could come off the rims under
hard braking.
Finally, the vehicle could skid during
cornering.
WARNING
Inspect tire surface condition and check
for wear, as worn tires lead to poor road
holding and handling.
Some of the tires approved for this
vehicle are equipped with wear
indicators.
There are several kinds of wear
indicators. For more information on how
to check the tires for wear, contact your
Dealer.
Visually inspect the tires for wear and
have them changed if worn.
