WARNING
@ This motorcycle is fitted with super
high-speed running tires. The fol-
lowing points must be observed in
order for you to make fully effective
use of these tires.l
Never fail to use the specified
tires in tire replacement. Other
tires may have a danger of
bursting at super high-speeds.
l
New tires have a relatively low
grip on the road surface until
they have been slightly worn.
Therefore, approximately 100 km
should be traveled at normal
speed before any high-speed
riding is done.
l
Before any high-speed runs, the
tires should be warmed-up suf-
ficiently.
l
Always inflate to the correct tire
pressure according to the oper-
ating conditions.
