Maintenance Fundamentals

Tyres (Inspecting/Replacing)

Checking the Air Pressure

Visually inspect your tyres and use an air pressure gauge to measure the air pressure at least once a month or any time you think the tyres look low. Always check air pressure when your tyres are cold.

Inspecting for Damage

Inspect the tyres for cuts, slits, or cracks that expose fabric or cords, or nails or other foreign objects embedded in the side of the tyre or the tread. Also inspect for any unusual bumps or bulges in the side walls of the tyres.

Inspecting for Abnormal Wear

Inspect the tyres for signs of abnormal wear on the contact surface.

Inspecting Tread Depth

Inspect the tread wear indicators. If they become visible, replace the tyres immediately.

For safe riding, you should replace the tyres when the minimum tread depth is reached.

3WARNING
Riding on tyres that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Follow all instructions in this owner's manual regarding tyre inflation and maintenance.

Germany
German law prohibits use of tyres whose tread depth is less than 1.6 mm.

Have your tyres replaced by your dealer.

For recommended tyres, air pressure, and minimum tread depth, see “Specifications.”

Follow these guidelines whenever you replace tyres:

Use the recommended tyres or their equivalents of the same size, construction, speed rating, and load range.

Have the wheel balanced with Honda Genuine balance weights or equivalent after the tyre is installed.

Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tyre on this vehicle. Excessive heat build-up can cause the tube to burst.

Use only tubeless tyres on this vehicle.

The rims are designed for tubeless tyres, and during hard acceleration or braking, a tube-type tyre could slip on the rim and cause the tyre to rapidly deflate.

3WARNING
Installing improper tyres on your vehicle can adversely affect handling and stability, and can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always use the size and type of tyres recommended in this owner's manual.
