Tire Maintenace

Tip: Keep a low pressure tire gauge (0psi - 80psi) in your bike tool bag at all times. Check your tire pressure often to maintain proper tire pressure.

Keep your tires correctly inflated. A tire that is very under-inflated generates a lot of heat which can lead to a blow out. Tires that run too hot also wear out more quickly. The most common motorcycle breakdown is for tire damage.

Purchase a pencil-type tyre gauge and use it regularly until you instinctively 'know' what your tyres feel like correctly inflated. Use of the gauge and visual inspections must become second nature.

Replace your tires sooner rather than later. If tread depth is 1-2 mm it is time to replace your tires. Never skimp on your tires as they are all that stands between you and the asphalt
