WARNING
• Use only the specied replace-
ment tires.
• Brand-new tires can have a relati-
vely poor grip on certain road sur-
faces until they have been “broken
in”. Therefore, it is advisable befo-
re doing any high-speed riding to
ride conservatively for approxi-
mately 100 km 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.
