Air pressure
Keeping your tyres properly inflated provides
the best combination of handling, tread life
and riding comfort. Generally, under-inflated
tyres wear unevenly, adversely affect handling
and are more likely to fail from being
overheated.
Over-inflated tyres make your vehicle ride
harshly are more prone to damage from road
hazards and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually check your
tyres before every ride and use a gauge to
measure air pressure at least once a month or
any time you think the tyre pressure might be
low.
Tubeless tyres have some self-sealing ability if
they are punctured. However, because leakage
The tyres fitted on your vehicle are of
TUBELESS type. To safely operate your
vehicle, your tyres must be of the proper type
and size in good condition with adequate tread
and correctly inflated for the load you are
carrying. The following pages give more detailed
information on how and when to check the air
pressure, how to inspect your tyres for damage
and what to do when your tyres need to be
repaired or replaced.

is often very slow, you should look closely for
punctures whenever a tyre is not fully inflated.
Always check air pressure when your tyres are
"cold"-when the vehicle has been parked for
at least three hours. If you check air pressure
when your tyres are "warm"-when the vehicle
has been ridden for even a few km-the
readings will be higher than if the tyres were
"cold". This is normal, so do not let air out of
the tyres to match the recommended cold air
pressures given below. If you do, the tyres will
be under-inflated.
The recommended “cold” tyre pressures are:
