TYRES
Tyre pressure:
Check the tyre pressure atleast once in a week if not
more frequently. Insufficient air pressure in the tyres
not only hasten tyre wear, but also seriously affects
the stability of the vehicle.
Under-inflated tyres make smooth cornering difficult
and over-inflated tyres decreases the tyre contact
with the ground which can lead to skidding and loss of
control. Be sure that the tyre pressure is within the
specified limits at all times.

Tyre tread condition
Operating the vehicle with excessively worn tyres will
decrease riding stability and can lead to loss of control.
It is recommended to replace the tyre when the tyre
wears off to the tyre wear indicator level (indicated by
TWI on the tyre).
Tyre rotation direction
While reassembling the tyre, after removing from
wheel rim, ensure that the arrow mark (A) provided on
the tyre, faces the direction of wheel rotation.

The tyre inflation pressure in cold condition and the
tyre thread condition are extremely important for the
performance and safety of the rider. Check the tyres
frequently for inflation pressure as well as the wear
pattern on it. Use of a tyre other than the standard will
cause instability.
