•
Visually inspect the tire for cracks
and cuts, replacing the tire in case of
bad damage. Swelling or high spots
indicate internal damage, requiring
tire replacement.
•
Remove any imbedded stones or
other foreign particles from the tread.
NOTE
○
Have the wheel balance inspected
whenever a new tire is installed.
WARNING
Tires that have been punctured
and repaired do not have the
same capabilities as undam-
aged tires and can suddenly fail,
causing an accident resulting
in serious injury or death. Re-
place damaged tires as soon as
possible. To ensure safe han-
dling and stability, use only the
recommended standard tires for
replacement, inflated to the stan-
dard pressure. If it is necessary
to ride on a repaired tire, do not
exceed 100 km/h (60 mph) until
the tire is replaced.
NOTE
○
Most countries may have their own
regulations requiring a minimum tire
tread depth; be sure to follow them.
