The following procedure applies to both of the tires.
1. Check:
• Tire pressure
If Out of Specification -> Regulate.
• The tire pressure should only be checked and regulated when the tire temperature
equals the ambient air temperature.
• The tire pressure and the suspension must be adjusted according to the total
weight (including cargo, rider, passenger and accessories) and the anticipated
riding speed.
• Operation of an overloaded vehicle could cause tire damage, an accident or an injury.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHICLE.

• Do not use a tubeless tire on a wheel designed only for tube tires to avoid tire
failure and personal injury from sudden deflation.
• When using a tube tire, be sure to install the correct tube.
• Always replace a new tube tire and a new tube as a set.
• To avoid pinching the tube, make sure the wheel rim band and tube are centered
in the wheel groove.
• Patching a punctured tube is not recommended.
If it is absolutely necessary to do so, use great care and replace the tube as soon as possible with a good quality replacement.

New tires have a relatively low grip on the road surface until they have been slightly
worn.
Therefore, approximately 100 km (60 mi) should be traveled at normal speed before
any high-speed riding is done.
