Tires
Maintenance:
• Frequently check thetireination pressurebecause all tires lose air slowly over time. For
extended storage, keep weighto of thetires.

arealso acceptable.
• Themaximum ination pressureisshown on thetiresidewall.
• If two ination pressures areon thetiresidewall, use thehigher pressurefor on-road riding
and thelower pressurefor o-road riding.
• Thelower pressurewill providebetter tiretraction and amorecomfortableride.
Beforeadding air to any tire, makesuretheedgeof thetire(thebead) isthesamedistance
from therim, all around therim, on both sides of thetireA. If thetiredoes notappear to be
seated correctly, release air from theinner tubeuntil you can push thebead of thetireinto
