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 tire tread reaches the following specifica-
tion.
Tire tread depth limit
:
FRONT 1.6 mm (0.06 in)
REAR
2.0 mm (0.08 in)
TIRE PRESSURE

adversely affected and tire wear increased. Therefore, maintain
the correct tire pressure for good roadability or shorter tire life
will result. Cold inflation tire pressure is as follows.
