Warning
Do not install tube-type tires on
tubeless rims. The bead will not seat
and the tires could slip on the rims,
causing rapid tire deflation that may
result in a loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Never install an inner tube inside a
tubeless tire. This will cause friction
inside the tire and the resulting heat
build-up may cause the tube to burst
resulting in rapid tire deflation, loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Tire Inflation Pressures
Warning
Incorrect tire inflation will cause
abnormal tread wear and instability
problems that may lead to loss of
control and an accident.
Under inflation may result in the tire
slipping on, or coming off the rim.
Overinflation will cause instability and
accelerated tread wear.
Both conditions are dangerous as they
may cause loss of control leading to
an accident.
Warning
Tire pressures which have been
reduced for off-road riding will impair
on-road stability.
Always make sure that the tire
pressures are set as described in the
Specification section for on-road use.
Operation of the motorcycle with
incorrect tire pressures may cause
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Correct inflation pressure will provide
maximum stability, rider comfort and
tire life. Always check tire pressures
before riding when the tires are cold.
Check tire pressures daily and adjust if
necessary. See the Specification section
for details of the correct inflation
pressures.
