Maintenance

Inspecting Tread Depth
Inspect the tread wear indicators. If they
become visible, replace the tires
immediately.
For safe riding, you should replace the tires
when the minimum tread depth is reached.
Have your tires replaced by your dealer.
For recommended tires, air pressure and
minimum tread depth, see
“Specifications.”

Follow these guidelines whenever you
replace tires.
● Use the recommended tires or
equivalents of the same size,
construction, speed rating, and load
range.
● Have the wheel balanced with Honda
Genuine balance weights or equivalent
after the tire is installed.
● Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tire
on this motorcycle. Excessive heat build-
up can cause the tube to burst.
● Use only tubeless tires on this
motorcycle. The rims are designed for
tubeless tires, and during hard
acceleration or braking, a tube-type tire
could slip on the rim and cause the tire to
rapidly deflate.
● Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the tire
behind the valve stem. You must use
TPMS specific wheels. Not using TPMS
specific wheels can cause an air leak, a
tire pressure monitoring system failure,
or both.
WARNINGWARNING
Riding on tires that are excessively
worn or improperly inflated can
cause a crash in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s
manual regarding tires inflation and
maintenance.
