WARNING
• Use only the specified replace-
ment tires. Other tires may run the
danger of bursting at super high
speeds.
EN
• Brand-new tires can have a rela-
tively poor grip on certain road

surfaces until they have been
"broken in". Therefore, it is advi-
sable before doing any high-spe-
ed riding to ride conservatively
for approximately 100 km (60 mi)
after installing a new tire.
• The tires must be warmed up be-
fore a high-speed run.
• Always adjust the tire air pressure
according to the operating condi-
tions.
