NOTE: The wheel has arrow
marks showing the rotating direc-
tion. The arrow marks on the tire
and on the wheel should be in the
same direction.
WARNING
Failure to follow the instruc-
tions below for tubeless tires
may result in an accident due to
tire failure. Tubeless tires
require different service proce-
dures than tube tires.
• Tubeless tires require an air-
tight seal between the tire bead
and wheel rim. Special tire irons
and rim protectors or a special-
ized tire mounting machine
must be used for removing and
installing tires to prevent tire or
rim damage which could result
in an air leak.
• Repair punctures in tubeless
tires by removing the tire and
applying an internal patch.
• Do not use an external repair
plug to repair a puncture since
the plug may work loose as a
result of the cornering forces
experienced by a motorcycle
tire.
• After repairing a tire, do not
exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) for the
first 24 hours, and do not
exceed 130 km/h (80 mph)
thereafter. This is to avoid
excessive heat build-up which
could result in a tire repair fail-
ure and tire deflation.
• Replace the tire if it is punc-
tured in the sidewall area, or if a
puncture in the tread area is
larger than 6 mm (3/16 in).
These punctures cannot be
repaired adequately.
WARNING
An improperly repaired,
installed, or balanced tire can
cause loss of control and an
accident, or can wear out
sooner.
• Ask your Suzuki dealer or a
qualified mechanic to per-
form tire repair, replacement,
and balancing because
proper tools and experience
are required.
• Install tires according to the
rotation direction shown by
arrows on the sidewall of
each tire.
