MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT 139 Wheels Rims The rims are a drop-center, tubeless tire design. Take care not to damage the sealing surfaces of the tire or rim when removing or installing tires. Note that the rims, like automotive rims, are not symmetrical. All wheels must be installed so that the valve stems are on the outside of the vehicle. Wheel Nuts Check for wheel nuts tightness in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Tightening Torque: 110 N·m (11.2 kgf·m, 81 ft·lb) Tires The front and rear tires are knobby tubeless tires. When replacing tires, check the valve stems and cores for damage. Take care not to damage the tire sealing surfaces of the rims.

Tire construction characteristics and tire inflation pressure can greatly influence vehicle handling. Kawasaki recommends that you always replace tires with standard replacement tires as shown above. It is also very important to have tires of the same type and size on all axles, and at the same inflation pressure, on each axle. żInstallation of non-standard tires, or use of different tires on one axle, can change or impair the handling of the vehicle. żInstallation of tubeless tires on rims requires compressed air and is normally recommended as a dealer service operation. Nevertheless, a tube can be inserted into the tire by the operator as an emergency repair. Maximum Tire Air Pressure for Seating Beads Front and Rear 250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm², 36 psi) j Payload and Tire Pressure Failure to maintain proper inflation pressures or observe payload limits for your tires can change or impair handling and performance of the vehicle.
