Tires

Checking tire pressure

Incorrect tire inflation pres-
sure results in poorer hand-

ing characteristics of the motor-
cycle and reduces the life of the
tires.
Ensure proper tire inflation
pressure.

At high road speeds, tire
valves installed perpen-

dicular to the wheel rim have a

tendency to open as a result of
centrifugal force.
In order to avoid a sudden loss of
tire inflation pressure, fit a valve
cap with rubber sealing ring to
the rear tire and make sure that
the cap is screwed on firmly.

Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
Check tire pressures against
data below.

Tire pressure, front

36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (Single rid-
er, with cold tire)
36.3 psi (2.5 bar) (Driver with
passenger and/or load, with
cold tire)

Tire pressure, rear

er, with cold tire)
