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. In fact, a worn out
tire can be punctured more easily than a new one,
and it can adversely affect handling and stability
of the motorcycle.
Always check the depth of the tire tread. The tread
depth must always be at least 1/8 inch (3 mm).
Verify the absence of crevices at the bottom of the
tread design and fissures on the tire sidewall.
Moreover, verify the absence of nails and glass
splinters in the tire. If these conditions are not
verified, have the tire replaced by an authorized
MV Agusta dealer.
WARNING
• Never ride your motorcycle if the tires
are cut, checked, or leaking. Never ride
your motorcycle if the tires are not prop-
erly inflated. Failure to obey these warn-
ings can lead to loss of control and sub-
sequent accident with serious injury or
even death. If the tires of your motorcy-
cle are worn out, have it replaced by
your MV Agusta dealer.
• If a tire is punctured it must be
replaced, not repaired. A repaired tire
provides a restricted performance and
lower safety levels than a new one. If
you make a provisional or emergency
repair to a tire, you must ride at very low
speed until you reach the nearest MV
Agusta dealer and have the tire
replaced. With a provisionally repaired
tire, never exceed 60 km/h (37 mph). Tire
repairing must never be performed if the
tire is punctured on its sidewall, or if the
