Tire Air Pressure
Tire air pressure affects traction, handling, and tire life. Adjust the tire air pressure to suit track condi- tions and rider preference, but keep it close within the recommended range. To check the tire air pressure, remove the air valve cap, and make sure to tighten the cap securely after checking the tire pressure
A. Tire Pressure Gauge
NOTE
Tire air pressure should be checked when the tires are cold before you ride the motorcycle.
Spokes and Rims
The spokes on both wheels must all be evenly adjusted and not be allowed to loosen. Unevenly tightened or loose spokes will cause the rim to warp, the nipples and spokes to fatigue more quickly, and the spokes to break.

Bead Protector
There is a bead protector on the rear wheel. The bead protector prevents the tire and tube from slipping on the rim and damaging the valve stem. Valve stem damage may cause the tube to leak, necessitating tube replacement. In order to keep the tire and tube in position on the rim, inspect the bead protector nut before riding and tighten it if necessary. Tighten\ the valve stem nut finger tight only.
