Warning
Inner tubes must only be used on
motorcycles equipped with spoked
wheels and with tires marked 'TUBE
TYPE'.
Some brands of approved tires marked
'TUBELESS' may be suitable for use
with an inner tube. Where this is the
case, the tire wall will be marked with
text permitting the mounting of an
inner tube (see illustration below).
Use of an inner tube with a tire
marked 'TUBELESS', and NOT marked
as suitable for use with an inner
tube, or use of an inner tube on
an alloy wheel marked 'SUITABLE
FOR TUBELESS TYRES' will cause
deflation of the tire resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.

Tire Inflation Pressures
Warning
Incorrect tire inflation will cause
abnormal tread wear and instability
problems that may lead to loss of
control and an accident.
Under inflation may result in the tire
slipping on, or coming off the rim.
Overinflation will cause instability and
accelerated tread wear.
Both conditions are dangerous as they
may cause loss of control leading to
an accident.
Correct inflation pressure will provide
maximum stability, rider comfort and
tire life. Always check tire pressures
before riding when the tires are cold.
Check tire pressures daily and adjust if
necessary. See the Specification section
for details of the correct inflation
pressures.
