Advice from the

Michelin technician

1 Check the condition of your rims before f itting the tyre.

2

Check the wear level on your tyres (using the indicator on the tread) if

the motorcycle is f itted with previously-used tyres.

3

Adjust the cold pressure once the tyre is f itted and balanced. Comply

scrupulously with the pressures we recommend or that your Michelin

Technician has given you.

4

Set your tyre warmers to 90 degrees and place them on your tyres for

at least 1 hour. Check that these are plugged in correctly and in good

operating condition, and do so regularly throughtout the warming period.

Advice from the Michelin Man:

Place your warmers f ixing strap level with the valve; this will make it easier

to check your pressure because you’ll know where your valve is positioned.

5

Adjust your tyre pressure when hot. (minimum 80°C) before going out

onto the track (record them).

6

Install valve caps in order to guarantee your tyres are airtight. Never

ride without the valve caps on.

Once all these steps have been followed, you can hit the track!

7

On returning to the pits, read and record your tyre pressures in order

to know whether you have the correct pressure recommended by your

manufacturer Adjust the pressures if necessary in accordance with the

values found

8

Replaces the warmers on your tyres fairly quickly so as not to allow

them to cool down suddently and so that you can reuse them under the

best conditions

Advice from the Michelin Man

To reduce the tyres warming cycle it is recommended the tyres be kept under

warmers throughout the day
