Tyre Pressures - Check/Adjust

Warning - General - Stabilise Motorcycle - including DO NOT support on non integral parts

warning
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.Do not support the motorcycle on any ancillary component, the exhaust system or any other non structural parts of the motorcycle frame.A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.Failure to follow the advice above could result in serious injury or death.
notice
Always check the tyre pressures when they are cold.Checking tyre pressures when they are cold will achieve a more accurate reading on the tyre pressure gauge.
  1. Remove the caps from the tyre valves.
  2. Position the tyre pressure gauge onto the end of the valve body making sure the tyre valve is in contact with the tyre inflator.
  3. Momentarily deflate the tyre to equalise the pressure in the tyre and the gauge.
  4. Check that the correct pressure is displayed on the gauge.
  5. If the air pressure is below the recommended setting, inflate the tyre until the correct pressure is achieved.
  6. If it is greater than the recommended setting, slowly deflate the tyre checking the gauge regularly until the correct reading is achieved.
