TIRES

2006 RIDGEBACK GENERAL INFORMATION

 REPLACE TIRES WITH BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES APPROVED TIRES ONLY. SERVICING TIRES AND

WHEELS REQUIRES SPECIAL TOOLS AND SKILLS. WE RECOMMEND YOU SEE A BIG DOG

MOTORCYCLES DEALER OR AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER FOR THESE SERVICES. TIRES, RIMS

AND AIR VALVES MUST BE CORRECTLY MATCHED IN ORDER TO INSURE YOUR PERSONAL

SAFETY. MISMATCHING TIRES, RIMS AND AIR VALVES MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE TIRE

BEAD DURING MOUNTING OR MAY ALLOW THE TIRE TO SLIP ON THE RIM, POSSIBLY CAUSING

TIRE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, USING TIRES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED MAY ADVERSELY

AFFECT MOTORCYCLE STABILITY. TIRE SIZES ARE MOLDED ON THE TIRE SIDEWALL. IMPROPER

TIRE INFLATION WILL CAUSE ABNORMAL TREAD WEAR AND COULD RESULT IN UNSTABLE

HANDLING. UNDER-INFLATION COULD RESULT IN THE TIRE SLIPPING ON THE RIM OR SUDDEN

TIRE FAILURE. INSPECT TIRE TREAD FOR PUNCTURES, CUTS, BREAKS, ETC., AT LEAST WEEKLY

(IF IN DAILY USE) OR BEFORE EACH TRIP (IF USED ONLY OCCASIONALLY).

 IF THERE IS UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TIRE INTEGRITY, HAVE A BIG DOG MOTORCYCLES DEALER

OR AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER REMOVE AND CAREFULLY INSPECT THE INSIDE AS WELL

AS THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE. A DAMAGED TIRE CAN FAIL CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.

RIDING WITH EXCESSIVELY WORN, UNBALANCED OR IMPROPERLY INFLATED TIRES IS

HAZARDOUS AND WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT TRACTION, STEERING AND HANDLING.
