Measure the depth of the tread with a depth gauge, and replace any tyre that has worn
to, or beyond the minimum allowable tread depth.
Inspect tyres for cracks, splits and kerb damage. Always replace tyres that are suspected
of having become damaged.
Damaged tyres must be replaced.
Tyre Pressures - Check/Adjust
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the
motorcycle.
Always check the tyre pressures when they are cold.
Checking tyre pressures when they are cold will achieve a more accurate reading on
the tyre pressure gauge.
1. Remove the caps from the tyre valves.
2. Position the tyre pressure gauge onto the end of the valve body making sure the tyre
valve is in contact with the tyre inflator.
3. Momentarily deflate the tyre to equalise the pressure in the tyre and the gauge.
4. Check that the correct pressure is displayed on the gauge.
5. If the air pressure is below the recommended setting, inflate the tyre until the correct
pressure is achieved.
