TIRE TREAD CONDITION
Operating the motorcycle with excessively worn tires will
decrease riding stability and consequently invite a dangerous
situation. It is highly recommended to replace a tire when the
remaining depth of the tire tread reaches the following specifica-
tion.

TIRE PRESSURE
If the tire pressure is too high or too low, steering will be
adversely affected and tire wear will increase. Therefore, main-
tain the correct tire pressure for good roadability and a longer
tire life. Cold inflation tire pressure is as follows.
