Maintenance
❙
Checking the Air Pressure
Visually inspect your tires and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure
before each off-road ride and whenever you
return to pavement after riding off-road. If you
only ride on pavement, check the pressure at
least once a month or any time you think the
tires look low. Always check air pressure when
your tires are cold.
If you decide to adjust the tire pressure for a
particular off-road riding condition, make
changes a little at a time.
❙
Inspecting for Damage
Inspect the tires for
cuts, slits, or cracks
that exposes fabric or
cords, or nails or
other foreign objects
embedded in the side
of the tire or the
tread. Also inspect for
the bumps or bulges
in the side walls of
the tires.
❙
Inspecting for Abnormal Wear
Inspect the tires for
signs of abnormal
wear on the contact
surface.
