MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
Remove the air valve cap.
Check the tire pressure often, using
an accurate gauge.
Make sure that the air valve cap is
securely installed.
A. Tire Pressure Gauge
NOTE
Measure the tire pressure when the
tires are cold (that is, when the mo-
torcycle has not been ridden more
than a mile during the past 3 hours).
Tire pressure is affected by changes
in ambient temperature and altitude,
and so the tire pressure should be
checked and adjusted when your rid-
ing involves wide variations in tem-
perature or altitude.
