6.9. Checking and replacing the tires
WARNING
Before using the motorcycle,
always check the pressure and
wear of the tires.
Checking the inflating pressure of the
tires is an essential requirement to ensu-
re driving safety. Insufficiently inflated
tires can reduce the handling of the
motorcycle and wear themselves out
very quickly. On the other hand, an
excessively high inflating pressure redu-
ces the wideness of the surface in con-
tact with the ground, and it can compro-
mise the grip of the vehicle.
Before riding your motorcycle, it is the-
refore necessary to measure the tire
pressure at room temperature. The vehi-
cle must be parked since three hours at
least.
WARNING: An incorrect inflating pressure can
lead to dangerous situations during riding. An
insufficiently inflated tire can cause the sliding of
the tire on the wheel rim or its detachment; this
may lead to the deflation of the tire and loss of
control of the vehicle, with subsequent upset,
serious injury or even death.
