ride. Removing or modifying your lamps,

mufflers, emission control system or other

equipment can also make your motorcycle

illegal.

CAUTION

The tyres that are fitted on your motorcycle

are designed to match the performance

capabilities of your motorcycle and provide

the best combination of handling, braking,

durability and comfort.

TYRES

NOTE

The imported tyre(s) if fitted without ISI mark;

are in compliance of BIS standard and Central

Motor Vehicle Rules 1989, as declared by the

Tyre manufacturer.

To safely operate your motorcycle, the tyres

must be of recommended type and size, in good

condition with adequate tread, and correctly

inflated. The recommended tyres size is :

Front

Rear

2.75x18-4PR/42P

3.00x18-6PR/52P

Under inflated tyres can also cause wheel

damage in rocky terrain. Over inflated tyres

make your motorcycle ride more harshly, are

more prone to damage from surface hazards

and wear unevenly.

Air Pressure

Properly inflated tyres provide the best

combination of handling, tread life, and riding

comfort. Generally, under inflated tyres wear

unevenly, adversely affect handling, and are

more likely to fail from being overheated.

Make sure the valve stem caps are secure. If

necessary, install a new cap.
