To ensure maximum performance, long service, and safe operation, note the following: Tire air pressure

Always check and adjust the tire pressures before operating the motorcycle.

WARNING: Tire inflation pressure should be checked and adjusted when the temperature of the tire equals the ambient air temperature. Tire inflation pressure must be adjusted according to total weight of cargo, rider, passenger, and accessories (fairing, saddlebags, etc. if approved for this model), and vehicle speed.


Basic weight: With oil and full fuel tank	242 kg (534 lb)
Maximum load	194kg (428 lb)
Cold tire pressure	Front	Rear
Up to 90 kg (198 lb) load*	226 kPa (2.3 kg/cm'. 32 psi)	245 kPa (2.5 kg/cm². 36 psi)
90 kg (198 1b).-Maximum load	245 kPa (2.5 kg/cm², 36 psi)	284 kPa (2.9 kg/cm², 42 psi)
High speed riding	245 kPa (2.5 kg/cm². 36 psi)	284 kPa (2.9 kg/cm². 42 psi)

Load is the total weight of cargo, rider, passenger, and accessories.

WARNING: Proper loading of your motorcycle is important for the handling, braking, and other performance and safety characteristics of your motorcycle. Do not carry loosely packed items that can shift. Securely pack your heaviest items close to the center of the motorcycle, and destribute the weight evenly from side to side. Properly adjust the suspension for your load, and check the condition and pressure of your tires. NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR MOTORCYCLE. Make sure the total weight of the cargo, rider, passenger, and accessories (fairing, saddlebags, etc. if approved for this model) does not exceed the maximum load of the motorcycle. Operation of an overloaded motorcycle could cause tire damage, an accident, or even injury.

Inspection

Always check the tires before operating the motorcycle. If a tire tread shows crosswise lines (minimum tread depth), if the tire has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if the side wall is cracked, replace the tire.

Minimum tire tread depth (front and rear)

1.0 mm (0.04 in)

WARNING: It is dangerous to ride with a worn-out tire. When a tire thread begins to show lines, replace the tire immediately.

WARNING: This motorcycle is fitted with "V" range tires (for super high speed running). The following points must be observed in order for you to make fully effective use of these tires.

1. Never fail to use "V" range tires in tire replacement. "S" or "H" tires may have a danger of bursting at super high speeds.

2. Tires have a relatively low gripping on the road surface when new, so do not allow any new ones to be subjected to load from maximum speed until after approx. 100 km (60 mi.).

3. Before any high-speed runs, remember to give a sufficient warm-up to the tires.

4. Always use the correct tire inflation pressure according to the operating conditions.
