• The tire pressure should only be checked
and regulated when the tire temperature
equals the ambient air temperature.
• The tire pressure and the suspension
must be adjusted according to the total
weight (including cargo, rider, passenger

riding speed.
• Operation of an overloaded vehicle could
cause tire damage, an accident or an
injury.
