Tyre pressure
Front:
2.2 bar - 2.24 Kg/sq cm
Rear:
2.4 bar - 2.44 Kg/sq cm
As tyre pressure is affected by temperature and altitude
variations, you are advised to check and adjust it
whenever you are riding in areas where ample variations
in temperature or altitude occur.
Important
Check and adjust tyre pressure when tyres are
cold.
To avoid front wheel rim distortion, when riding on
bumpy roads, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 - 0.3 bar.
