NOTE
The imported tyre(s) if fitted without ISI
mark; are in compliance of BIS standard
and Central Motor Vehicle Rules 1989, as
declared by the Tyre manufacturer.
To safely operate your motorcycle, the tyres
must be of recommended type and size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and correctly
inflated. The recommended tyres size is :
Properly inflated tyres provide the best
combination of handling, tread life, and
riding comfort. Generally, under inflated
tyres wear unevenly, adversely affect
handling, and are more likely to fail from
being overheated. Under inflated tyres can
also cause wheel damage in rocky terrain.
Over inflated tyres make your motorcycle
ride more harshly, are more prone to damage
from surface hazards and wear unevenly.

17
Also, if you hit a pothole or hard object,
pull to the side of the road as soon as you
safely can and carefully inspect the tyres
for damage.
