OFF-ROAD TYRES RECOMMENDED PRESSURE

Of f road motorcycle tyre pressure recommendations are only suitable for limited durations, speeds and loads on sealed high speed

surfaces such as roads. Increased tyre pressures are advised for unavoidable road use, prolonged road use should be avoided

altogether. These are the motorcycle Tyre pressures recommended by MICHELIN depending on the terrain, the weather conditions,

the power of the bike and the type of control

The design of Trials tyres makes them tricky to mount. You run the risk of breaking bead wires if you press too hard.

Carefully adhere to the f itting instructions for insertion of the rim hooks lubricate f irmly hold the bead on the opposite side in

the rim hollow do not exert excessive force on the bead To inf late position a rubber ring between the tyre bead and rim or use

a f irmly tightened strap on the tyre crown to enable initial pressurising
