CHK ADJ

1.Measure:

Tire pressure (cold tire pressure) Out of specification Adjust.

NOTE:

The low-pressure tire gauge 1 is included as standard equipment.

If dust or the like is stuck to this gauge, it will not provide the correct readings. Therefore, take two measurements of the tire’s pressure and use the second reading.

WARNING

Uneven or improper tire pressure may adversely affect the handling of this machine and may cause loss of control.

Maintain proper tire pressures.

Set tire pressures when the tires are cold.

Tire pressures must be equal in both front tires and equal in both rear tires.

2.Check:

Tire surfaces Wear/damage Replace.

Tire wear limit a:

Front and rear: 3.0 mm (0.12 in)

WARNING

It is dangerous to ride with a worn-out tire. When tire wear is out of specification, replace the tire immediately.
