6.8 Checking the tires and rims
WARNING
Before using the motorcycle, alwayscheck the pressure and wear of the tyres. An incorrect inflating
pressure can lead to dangerous situations during riding. An insufficiently inflated tyre can cause the sliding
of the tyre on the wheel rim orits detachment; this may lead to the deflation of the tyre with subsequent
loss of control of the vehicle.
Checking the inflating pressure of the tyres is an essential requirement to ensure driving safety. Insufficiently inflated tyres can reduce the
handling of the motorcycle and wear themselves out very quickly.On the other hand, an excessively high inflating pressure reduces the
wideness of the surface in contact with the ground, and it can compromise the grip of the vehicle. Before riding your motorcycle, it is
therefore necessary to measure the tyre pressure at room temperature.The vehicle must be parked since three hours at least.
