MAINTENANCE

Tire
inflation
Correct
tire
pressure
is
very
importan
t
to
ease
of
steering
and
riding
comfort
This
also
reduces
driving
sound
to
a
minimum
resulting
in
longer
tire
that
is
overinfla
lion
or
underinflation
promotes
wear
at
center
tread
or
shoulder
of
tire
If
all
tires
are
inspected
frequently
and
maintained
correct
tire
pressure
it
is
possible
to
detect
sharp
material
in
the
tread
Also
the
above
check
avoids
abnormal
wear
which
invites
serious
trouble
If
tires
indicate
abnormal
or
uneven
wear
the
cause
of
trouble
should
be
detected
and
eliminated
After
inflating
tices
leakage
in
valve
should
be
check
cd
Without
valve
caps
leakage
will
occur
due
to
dirt
and
water
resulting
in
underinOation
Accordingly
whenever
tire
pressure
is
checked
be
sure
to
secure
valve
caps
and
tighten
firmly

The
flange
should
be
cleaned
by
a
