Maintenance
A concentration of up to 60% will provide
better protection in colder climates.
Service more frequently when riding in rain, at
full throttle, or after the motorcycle is washed
or overturned. Service if the deposit level can be
seen in the transparent section of the drain
tube.
❙
Checking the Air Pressure
Visually inspect your tyres and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure at
least once a month or any time you think the
tyres look low. Always check air pressure when
your tyres are cold.
❙
Inspecting for Damage
Inspect the tyres for
cuts, slits, or cracks
that exposes fabric or
cords, or nails or
other foreign objects
embedded in the side
of the tyre or the
tread. Also inspect for
the bumps or bulges in the side walls of the
tyres.
❙
Inspecting for Abnormal Wear
Inspect the tyres for
signs of abnormal
wear on the contact
surface.
NOTICE
Using coolant not specified for aluminium engines or
ordinary tap water can cause corrosion.
