Tyres

Checking tyre tread depth

Your motorcycle's handling

and grip can be impaired

even before the tyres wear to

the minimum tyre tread depth

permitted by law.

Have the tyres changed in good

time before they wear to the

minimum permissible tread

depth.

Make sure the ground is level

and firm and place the motor-

cycle on its stand.

Measure the tyre tread depth

in the main tread grooves with

wear marks.

Tyres have wear indicators

integrated into the main

tread grooves. The tyre is worn

out when the tyre tread has worn

down to the level of the marks.

The locations of the marks are

indicated on the edge of the tyre,

e.g. by the letters TI, TWI or by

an arrow.

If the tyre tread is worn to minim-

um:

Replace tyre or tyres, as applic-

able.

Rims

and firm and place the motor-

cycle on its stand.
