The tires should be set to the recommended
pressure:
Recommended tire pressure:
Front:
27.5 kPa (0.275 kgf/cm
2
, 4.0 psi)
Rear:
30.0 kPa (0.300 kgf/cm
2
, 4.4 psi)

Check and adjust tire pressures when the
tires are cold.

Tire pressures must be equal on both
sides.

Tire pressure below the minimum speci-
fied could cause the tire to dislodge from
the rim under severe riding conditions.

Front:
24.5 kPa (0.245 kgf/cm
2
, 3.6 psi)
Rear:
27.0 kPa (0.270 kgf/cm
