15.6 Checking the tire condition
Warning
Danger of accidents If a tire bursts while riding, the vehicle becomes uncontrollable.
– Ensure that damaged or worn tires are replaced immediately. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.)
Warning
Danger of crashing Different tire tread patterns on the front and rear wheel impair the handling characteristic.
Different tire tread patterns can make the vehicle significantly more difficult to control.
– Make sure that only tires with a similar tire tread pattern are fitted to the front and rear wheel.
Warning
Danger of accidents Non-approved or non-recommended tires and wheels impact the handling characteristic.
– Only use tires/wheels approved by KTM with the corresponding speed index.
