In addition, premature wear and damage to the
rim may occur. These conditions can cause loss
of control of the motorcycle, resulting in an acci-
dent, personal injury or death.
Before riding, it is therefore necessary to measu-
re the tire pressure at room temperature. The
vehicle must be parked at least three hours.
Moreover, it is extremely important to check the
wear of the tires before riding. In fact, a worn tire
can be punctured more easily than a new one,
and it can adversely affect handling and stability
of the motorcycle.
Always check the depth of the tire tread. The tread
depth must always be at least 1/8 inch (3 mm).
Verify the absence of crevices at the bottom of the
tread design and fissures on the tire sidewall.
Moreover, verify the absence of nails and glass
splinters in the tire. If you see any evidence or
wear, have the tire replaced by an authorized MV
Agusta dealer.
WARNING
• Never ride your motorcycle if the tires
are cut, cracked, leaking or if there is
damage to the tread or sidewall. Never
ride your motorcycle if the tires are not
properly inflated. If the tires of your
motorcycle are worn, have them
replaced by your MV Agusta dealer.
• If a tire is punctured it must be
replaced, not repaired. A repaired tire
provides a restricted performance and
lower safety levels than a new one. If
you make a provisional or emergency
repair to a tire, you must ride at very
low speed until you reach the nearest
MV Agusta dealer and have the tire
replaced. With a provisionally repaired
tire, never exceed 60 km/h (35 mph).
Tire repairing must never be performed
if the tire is punctured on its sidewall, or
if the diameter of the puncture on the
tread is greater than 6 mm (0.24 inch).
