Tyres
Checking tyre pressures
Incorrect tyre pressures
impair the motorcycle's
handling characteristics and
can lead to accidents.
Always check that the tyre
pressures are correct.
At high road speeds, tyre
valves have a tendency
to open as a result of centrifu-
gal force.
Fit metal valve caps with rub-
ber seals and screw them
on firmly to prevent sudden
deflation.
Incorrect tyre pressure
reduces the operating
life of the tyres.
Always check that the tyre
pressures are correct.
Check tyre pressures
against the data below.
Tyre pressure, front
2.2 bar (One-up, tyre
cold)
with OA Rear footrest:
2.2 bar (Two-up and/or
with luggage, tyre cold)
Tyre pressure, rear
2.5 bar (One-up, tyre
cold)
with OA Rear footrest:
2.5 bar (Two-up and/or
with luggage, tyre cold)
If tyre pressure is too low:
Correct tyre pressure.
Two valves
The motorcycle's rear-wheel
rim can accommodate a tyre
holder (optional accessory).
If no tyre holder is fitted, a
second rubber valve is inser-
ted in its place.
If you have tubeless tyres
mounted on the motorcycle,
either valve can be used to
adjust tyre pressure. If the
tyre has a tube, use only the
tube valve to adjust the tyre
pressure. The tube valve has
a projecting shank made en-
tirely of metal, and a locknut
is screwed onto the thread.
Tube tyres do not form
an airtight seal against
the rims. Air escapes unless
it is pumped in through the
tube valve.
