Tires & Tubes
• Inspect carefully for bumps or bulges in the
side of the tire or the tread. Replace any tire
that has a bump or bulge.
• Look closely for cuts, slits, or cracks in the
tires. Replace a tire if you can see fabric or
cord.
• Check for rocks or other objects embedded in
the tire or tread. Remove any objects.
• Measure tread depth (1). Replace the tire
before depth at the center reaches 0.12 in
(3 mm), or any time you notice a reduction
in traction.
• Check the position of both valve stems. A
tilted valve stem indicates the tube is slipping
inside the tire or the tire is slipping on the
rim. See your dealer.
If a tube is punctured or damaged, you should
replace it as soon as possible. A repaired tube
may not have the same reliability as a new one,
and it may fail while you are riding. For
information on making a temporary repair, see
page 135.
Use a replacement tube equivalent to the
original.
We recommend that tubes be replaced by your
dealer. Replacing a tube requires removing and
reinstalling the wheel. Any time a tube is
replaced, carefully inspect the tire as described
on page 100.
