I Only mount tires approved andlor recommended by
KTM.
Other tires could
have
a negative effect
on
riding behavior.
The type, condition and air pressure of the tires all
have
an
important impact
on
the riding behavior of the motorcycle.
The front and rear wheels must
be
mounted with tires with similar profiles.
Worn
tires
have
a negative effect
on
handling characteristics, especially
on
wet surfaces.
- Check the front and rear tires for cuts, run-in objects and other damage.
•
If
you find cuts, foreign bodies or other damage
on
a tire:
- Change the tire.
- Check the depth of the tread.
•
Info
I Note local national regulations concerning the minimum tread depth.

KTM
recommends that the tires
be
changed after 5 years at the latest,
regardless
of
the actual state of wear.

If
the tire
is
older than five years:

Low
tire air pressure leads to abnormal wear and overheating of the tire.
Correct tire air pressure ensures optimal riding comfort and maximum tire service life.
