Basic Maintenance Procedures
Tire Inspection
A flat tire or tire blowout can be very inconvenient and can even cause you to have an accident. Take
the time to inspect your tires and wheels before you ride. For more information about handling a flat
tire, refer to the section of this manual titled Resolving the Unexpected.
•
Inspect the tire carefully for bumps or bulges in the sidewall of the tire and inside of the treads.
Replace any tires that have bumps or bulges in them.
•
Look closely for cuts, slits or cracks in the tires. Replace any tire if you can see a fabric or cord
showing through.
•
Check for rocks, screws, nails or other objects embedded in the tires or tread. Remove any foreign
objects. Be sure there are no screws or nails in the tires.
•
Inspect your rims. If you notice rims are bent or dented, take to your nearest Monster Moto
Service Center for assistance in replacing rim.
•
Measure the tread depth of the tires. Replace all tires before the tread depth gets below 0.16in
(4mm) or anytime you notice a reduction in your traction.
Never ride with a bent or dented rim. The tire could suddenly lose pressure,
resulting in an immediate loss of control which may cause a serious accident.
WARNING

Tire Repair
If your tire has been punctured, repair or replace it immediately. You may repair the with a patch,
but it will never be as durable or reliable as a new tube. If you need a repair tire, purchase genuine
Monster Moto parts or another tire the same size.
Do not attempt to replace the tire if you do not have the proper tools. Using
improper tools can result in damage to the tire or steel rim.
