2

, 3.6 psi)

●

Check and adjust tire pressures when

the tires are cold.

●

Tire pressures must be equal on both

sides.

specified could cause the tire to

dislodge from the rim under severe

riding conditions. 

The following are minimums:

Front 22 kPa (0.22 kgf/cm

2

, 3.2 psi)

Rear 22 kPa (0.22 kgf/cm

Front 250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm

2

, 36 psi)

Rear 250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm
