Tires
Never underestimate the importance of riding on
correctly infl ated tires that are in proper working
order.
Always check the tires for tread wear, punctures, cuts
and any other abnormalities, especially when the
tires are cold. See TIRE INFORMATION in the
SPECIFICATION and FEATURES & SAFETY
section for the correct cold tire infl ation pressures.
Never over-infl ate the tires.
If your tires need to be replaced, see your authorized
Indian Motorcycle dealer for advice on recommended
D.O.T. tire brands and compounds. Tires, tubes and
wheels are critical safety items and should be serviced
by a skilled technician using specialized tools and
equipment.
WARNING!
Improper tire infl ation will cause abnormal tread wear and
could adversely affect handling. Under-infl ation could
result in the tire slipping on the rim, or sudden tire failure.
Over-infl ation could result in sudden defl ation (blowout)
because tires are more likely to become punctured by road
debris, potholes, etc. Improper tire infl ation may, therefore,
lead to personal injury and damage to the motorcycle.
WARNING!
Riding on tires that are not in proper working condition ––
excessively worn, unbalanced or improperly infl ated tires
–– will impair traction, steering and handling, possibly
leading to personal injury and damage to the motorcycle.
WARNING!
Do not use damaged and repaired tires as replacements. If a
motorcycle tire has been damaged or punctured in any way, it
is unsafe to use again.
WARNING!
If you strike an object at speed, internal damage to the tire may
result. If you do strike an object, remove and carefully inspect
the inside of the tire as well as the outside for damage. A tire
that looks fi ne but is damaged internally can fail, causing
personal injury and damage to the motorcycle.
