Tyres maintenance (Aprilia RS125/3)

0

Check tyre condition after the first 1000 km (621 mi) and every 4000 km (2685 mi) or 8 months afterwards.

It is a good rule to measure tyre inflation pressures before and after a long trip.

Tyre inflation pressures should be checked monthly with the tyres at ambient temperature.

This vehicle is fitted with tubeless tyres.

For inflation pressures, see 1.7.1.

Tread condition

Warning!

• Inspect tread surface and check for wear. Badly worn tyres adversely affect traction and handling.
• Always change a worn tyre. A tyre that becomes punctured in the tread area should be changed when the puncture is larger than 5 mm.
• Some of the tyre types approved for this vehicle are fitted with wear indicators.
• There are various types of wear indicators.
• Enquire about correct wear inspection procedure with your supplier.
• Never use tube tyres on tubeless tyre rims, or viceversa.
• Always check that the caps are in place on the valves (1), or the tyres may deflate suddenly.
• Tyre replacement and repair, and wheel servicing and balancing are delicate operations. They should be carried out using adequate tools and are best left to experienced mechanics.
• The wheel must be balanced after each tyre repair.
• New tyres may be coated with an oily film. Drive carefully until covering several kilometres. Never apply non-specific products to the tyres.
• Approved tyre sizes are reported in the registration document. Installing nonapproved tyres is a legal offence.
• Using tyres other than the specified sizes may change vehicle behaviour, impair handling and make the vehicle unsafe to ride.
• Use only the first-equipment tyre types selected by aprilia; see 1.7.1.
