If tyres are worn or punctured, they must be replaced immediately.
7.2 Check brake operation and levels of brake fluid (on the handlebars next to the brake levers). Make
sure that discs and pads are not worn or damaged and that the disc is not warped.

there is an equal turn angle in both directions.
