MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT 233 NOTE żMeasure the tire pressure when the tires are cold (that is, when the motorcycle has not been ridden more than a mile during the past 3 hours). żTire pressure is affected by changes in ambient temperature and altitude, and so the tire pressure should be checked and adjusted when your riding involves wide variations in temperature or altitude. A. Tire Pressure Gauge Tire Air Pressure (when cold) Front Rear 290 kPa (2.90 kgf/cm², 42 psi) 290 kPa (2.90 kgf/cm², 42 psi) Tire Wear, Damage As the tire tread wears down, the tire becomes more susceptible to puncture and failure. An accepted estimate is that 90% of all tire failures occur during the last 10% of tread life (90% worn).
