Tires
Checking tire pressure
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
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 have a tendency to
open as a result of centrifugal
force.
Fit metal valve caps with rubber
seals and screw them on firmly
to prevent sudden deflation.
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
40.6 psi (2.8 bar) (Single rid-
er, with cold tire)
40.6 psi (2.8 bar) (Driver with
passenger and/or load, with
cold tire)
If tire pressure is too low:
Correct tire pressure.
