The clutch may fail to properly operate which could lead to an accident with subsequent serious injury or even death.
MAINTENANCE 6.9. 6 Checking and replacing the tires WARNING Before using the motorcycle, always check the pressure and wear of the tires. 6 Checking the inflating pressure of the tires is an essential requirement to ensure driving safety. Insufficiently inflated tires can reduce the handling of the motorcycle and wear themselves out very quickly.
MAINTENANCE In fact, by checking the pressure soon afterwards using the motorcycle, you would obtain a higher value than the actual one. This could cause an incorrect adjustment of the tire pressure. Refer to the pressures given in § 8.2. and/or on the label applied to the steering head tube. In the event of long travels, you can increase the face value of the tire pressure of 0.2 bar. Moreover, it is extremely important to check the wear of the tires before riding.
MAINTENANCE 6 diameter of the puncture on the tread is greater than 6 mm. Failure to obey this warning can lead to loss of control and subsequent accident with serious injury or even death. • MV Agusta recommends not to use sealing fluids to repair a punctured tire. These products can adversely affect the material of the tire layers, as well as hide the minor damages caused by objects penetrated in the tire. • When it is necessary to replace the tires, use only the type specified in paragraph 8.2.
MAINTENANCE 6 WARNING New tires should be run in for a short period before demanding their full performance. New tires are sometimes coated with a mold release agent which makes them slippery. We suggest to ride at reduced speed and exercise extreme caution during the first 100 km (62 miles) after the replacement of a tire. Failure to obey this warning can lead to loss of control and subsequent accident with serious injury or even death.
MAINTENANCE ❏ Rear wheel disassembling CAUTION If you have the rear wheel tire replaced by a tire-dealer, make sure that the following tools are used in the rear wheel disassembling and reassembling: • 55 mm polygonal wrench • Torque wrench 6 socket If the above mentioned operations are performed with tools other than those indicated, the rear wheel parts can be seriously damaged. Therefore, we strongly recommend not to have the tires replaced by an improperly equipped workshop.
MAINTENANCE 6 ❏ Checking the wheel rims Before riding, always verify the absence of cracks, bending or buckling on the wheel rims. WARNING If you find that the wheel rim is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized MV Agusta dealer. Never attempt to repair the wheel rim, even in case of slight damage. Every time you replace a tire or a rim, you must have a wheel balancing performed by an authorized MV Agusta dealer.
