sure when the tires are cold.
Adjust the tire air pressure to suit track conditions and
rider preference, but do not stray too far from the recom-
mended pressure.
Track Condition
Tire Pressure
When the track is wet, muddy, sandy
or slippery, reduce the tire pressure to
increase the tire tread surface on the
ground.
80 kPa
(0.8 kgf/cm², 11 psi)
When the track is pebbly or hard,
increase the tire pressure to prevent
damage or punctures, through the
tires will skid more easily.
98 kPa
(1.0 kgf/cm², 14 psi)
Tires Inspection
As the tire tread wears down, the tire becomes more sus-
ceptible the puncture and failure.
Remove any imbedded stones or other foreign particles
from the tread.
Visually inspect the tire for cracks and cuts, replacing the
tire in case of bad damage. Swelling or high spots indi-
cate internal damage, requiring tire replacement.
WARNING
To ensure safe handling and stability, use only the
recommended standard tires for replacement, in-
flated to the standard pressure.
NOTE
Check and balance the wheel when a tire is replaced
with a new one.
