8Check and adjust tire pressures when
the tires are cold.
8Tire pressures must be equal on both
sides.
3. Tire pressure below the minimum speci-
fied could cause the tire to dislodge from
the rim under severe riding conditions.
The following are minimums:
Front 17 kPa (0.17 kg/cm
2, 0.17 bar)
Rear 22 kPa (0.22 kg/cm2, 0.22 bar)
4. Use no more than the following pres-
sures when seating the tire beads.
Front 250 kPa (2.5 kg/cm
2, 2.5 bar)
Rear 250 kPa (2.5 kg/cm2, 2.5 bar)
Higher pressures may cause the tire to
burst. Inflate the tires very slowly and
carefully. Fast inflation could cause the
tire to burst.
