CHECKING THE TIRES
1. Measure:
• tire pressure
Out of specification → Adjust.
NOTE:
_
• The low-pressure tire gauge 1 is included
as standard equipment.
• If dust or the like is stuck to this gauge, it will
not provide the correct readings. Therefore,
take two measurements of the tire’s pressure
and use the second reading.
WARNING
_
Uneven or improper tire pressure may
adversely affect the handling of this
machine and may cause loss of control.
• Maintain proper tire pressures.
• Set tire pressures when the tires are cold.
• Tire pressures must be equal in both front
tires and equal in both rear tires.
2. Check:
• tire surfaces
Wear/damage → Replace.
WARNING
_
It is dangerous to ride with a worn-out tire.
When tire wear is out of specification,
replace the tire immediately.
