Tyres
To safely operate your motorcycle, the tyres must be
the proper type (off-road) and size, in good condition
with adequate tread, and correctly inflated.

Using tyres that are excessively worn or improperly
P
inflated can cause a crash in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's manual
P
regarding tyre inflation and maintenance.
Air Pressure
Properly inflated tyres provide the best combination
of handling, tread life, and riding comfort. Generally,
underinflated tyres wear unevenly, adversely affect
handling, and are more likely to fail from being
overheated. Underinflated tyres can also cause wheel
damage in rocky terrain. Overinflated tyres make your
motorcycle ride harshly, are more prone to damage
from surface hazards, and wear unevenly.
Make sure the valve stem caps are secure. If necessary,
install new caps.
Always check air pressure when your tyres are "cold"
– when the motorcycle has been parked for at least
three hours. If you check air pressure when your tyres
are "warm" – when the motorcycle has been ridden
for even a few miles – the readings will be higher than
if the tyres were "cold". This is normal, so do not let
air out of the tyres to match the recommended cold
air pressures given below. If you do, the tyres will be
underinflated.
The recommended "cold" tyre pressures are:
