Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This tyre set includes a front tyre size of 120/70 ZR 17 and a rear tyre size of 160/60 ZR 17. Ensure these sizes are listed as compatible with your motorcycle's make, model, and year by consulting your owner's manual or a qualified technician. The 'ZR' rating indicates suitability for speeds above 240 km/h (149 mph).
Setup: Tyre installation should always be performed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic. This ensures proper mounting, balancing, and inflation, which are critical for performance and safety.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Tire Pressure: Regularly check and maintain the recommended tire pressure as specified by your motorcycle manufacturer. Incorrect pressure affects handling, fuel economy, and wear.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the tyres for signs of wear, such as uneven tread wear, cuts, punctures, or embedded objects. Check the tread depth to ensure it meets legal and safe limits.
- Cleaning: Clean the tyres with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or petroleum-based products, which can degrade the rubber.
- Storage: If storing the motorcycle for extended periods, ensure tyres are properly inflated and consider using tyre savers or stands to prevent flat spots.
