Tyre Repair
If a tyre is punctured or damaged, you should replace
it, not repair it. As discussed below, a tyre that is
repaired, either temporarily or permanently, will have
lower speed and performance limits than a new tyre.
A temporary repair, such as an external tubeless tyre
plug, may not be safe for normal speeds and riding
conditions. If a temporary or emergency repair is made
to a tyre, you should ride slowly and cautiously to a
dealer and have the tyre replaced. If possible, you
should not carry a passenger or cargo until a new tyre
is installed.
Even if a tyre is professionally repaired with a
permanent internal patch plug, it will not be as good as
a new tyre. You should not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
for the first 24 hours, or 130 km/h (80 mph) at any
time thereafter. In addition, you may not be able to
safely carry as much weight as with a new tyre.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that you replace a
damaged tyre. If you choose to have a tyre repaired,
be sure the wheel is balanced before you ride.
Tyre Replacement
The tyres that came on your motorcycle were designed
to match the performance capabilities of your
motorcycle and provide the best combination of
handling, braking, durability and comfort.
WARNING
!
Installing improper tyres on your motorcycle can
affect handling and stability. This can cause a crash
in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tyres recommended
in this owner's manual.
The recommended tyres for your motorcycle are:
Front: 100/80 – 17M/C 52S
PIRELLI MT75
Rear: 130/70 – 17M/C 62S
PIRELLI MT75
Type: bias-ply, tubeless
Whenever you replace a tyre, use one that is
equivalent to the original and be sure the wheel is
balanced after the new tyre is installed.
Important Safety Reminders
• Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tyre on this
motorcycle. Excessive heat buildup can cause the
tube to burst.
• Use only tubeless tyres on this motorcycle. The rims
are designed for tubeless tyres, and during hard
acceleration or braking, a tube-type tyre could slip
on the rim and cause the tyre to rapidly deflate.
