Tyre Pressures

',
Correct inflation pressure will provide maximum
stability, rider comfort and tyre life.
Tyre pressures should be checked frequently and
adjusted as necessary. Correct tyre pressures are:
Front
-
2.35 bar (34 psi)
Rear
-
2.90 bar
(42
psi)
--
Incorrect tyre inflation will cause abnormal tread
wear and instability problems which may lead to loss
of control and an accident.
Under-inflation may result in the tyre slipping on, or
coming off the rim. Over-inflation will cause
instability and accelerated tread wear.
Both conditions are dangerous as they may cause
loss of control leadina to an accident.
Tyre WearNVheel
Inspection
As the tyre tread wears down, the tyre becomes more
susceptible to puncture and failure. It is estimated that
90% of all tyre failures occur during the last
10%
of
tread life (90% worn). It is false economy and unsafe
to use tyres until they are worn to their minimum.
All tyres are fitted with tread wear indicators. When
the tyre becomes worn down as far as the top of a
tread wear indicator, the tyre is worn beyond its

dynamometer may become damaged. In some
cases, the damage may not be visible on the
external surface of the tyre.
Tyres must be replaced after such use as continued
use of a damaged tyre may lead to instability, loss of
control and an accident.

Tread Wear lndicator
In accordance with the scheduled maintenance chart,
measure the depth of the tread with a depth gauge,
and replace any tyre that has worn to, or beyond the
minimum allowable tread depth.
Inspect wheels for cracks, splits and kerb damage.
Always replace wheels that are suspected of having
become damaged.
