Follow these guidelines whenever you replace
tyres.
● Use the recommended tyres or equivalents of
the same size, construction, speed rating,
and load range.
● Have the wheel balanced with Honda
Genuine balance weights or equivalents after
the tyre is installed.
● Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tyre on
this motorcycle. Excessive heat build-up can
cause the tube to burst.
● Use only tubeless tyres on this motorcycle.
The rims are designed for tubeless tyres, and
during hard acceleration or braking, a tube-
type tyre could slip on the rim and cause the
tyre to rapidly deflate.
3 WARNING
Installing improper tyres on your
motorcycle can adversely affect
handling and stability, and can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tyres
recommended in this owner’s manual.
