14 SXS700-31HL36000.book 161 ページ２０１３年５月１４日　火曜日　午前１０時５９分 Tires Air Pressure Refer to Safety Precautions on page 91. Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and driving comfort. Generally, underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. Overinflated tires make your Honda SXS drive harshly, are more prone to damage from surface hazards, and wear unevenly. Make sure the valve stem caps are secure.
PAGE 170
14 SXS700-31HL36000.book 162 ページ２０１３年５月１４日　火曜日　午前１０時５９分 Tires Always check air pressure when your tires are “cold.” If you check air pressure when your tires are “warm” — even if your Honda SXS has only been driven for a few miles — the readings will be higher. If you let air out of warm tires to match the recommended cold tire pressures, the tires will be underinflated. Be sure to check tire pressure at the driving site, since changes in altitude can affect air pressure.
PAGE 171
14 SXS700-31HL36000.book 163 ページ２０１３年５月１４日　火曜日　午前１０時５９分 Tires A manually operated tire pump should be used rather than the high pressure system found in service stations. This will minimize the possibility of tire damage from overinflation. If you use a high pressure system at a service station, add air in small amounts and check the pressure increase frequently to prevent possible tire damage from overinflation.
