Tire pressure
Use the tire pressure gauge to check and adjust
tire pressures when the tires are cold. Tire pres-
sures must be equal on both sides. WARNING!
Operation of this vehicle with improper tire
pressure may cause severe injury or death
from loss of control or rollover. Tire pressure
below the minimum specified could also cause
the tire to dislodge from the rim under severe
riding conditions.
Set tire pressures to the following specifications:ACE-02EThe tire pressure gauge is included as standard
equipment. Make two measurements of the tire
pressure and use the second reading. Dust or dirt
in the gauge could cause the first reading to be in-
correct.
