Wheels and Tires
Inspect both wheels for the following:
 Bent, loose, or missing spokes
 Bent or cracked rims
 Impact marks on the rims
Inspect both tires for the following:
 Cuts, cracks, splits, or missing tread lugs in the tread or
sid
ewall area
 Bumps or bulges within the tire body
 Uneven tire tread wear. Wear on one side of the tire
tread
or flat spots in the tire tread indicate a problem
with the tire or motorcycle.
 Exposed tire thread or cords
If either of the
wheels or tires are found to have any of the
above
conditions, replace the wheel and tire immediately.
Tire Inflation
CAUTION: Under-inflation is a common cause of tire
failure and may result in severe tire cracking, tread
separation, “blowout,” or unexpected loss of motorcycle
control causing serious injury or death.
Tire pressure should be checked and adjusted to the
proper inflation levels before each ride. Tire pressure
should be checked using an accurate gauge when the tires
are cold. This means that the tires have not been ridden on
for at least 3 hours. Always replace the valve stem cap
when finished adjusting tire pressures.
