Safety Tips |
|
By Howard Halasz, Technical Contributor, with special thanks to the following from Bob Lunsford's Northwest Honda: Ronnie Lunsford, Owner and General Manager; Corky Farmer, Service Manager; Andrew Senyk and Corky Farmer, Service Technicians.
- The single most important thing you can do to prevent motorcycle tire failure is to always ride on properly inflated tires!
- The only way to be sure your tires are properly inflated is to measure their air pressure using a good-quality air gauge confirmed to be accurate.
- Follow the inflation pressure recommendations provided by your motorcycle tires’ manufacturer.
- Inspect your tires visually before every ride. Look for punctures, cracks, missing tread or any irregularities.
- Inspect your tire’s valve stems for dry or cracked rubber, bent valve stem components, or missing valve stem caps and rim valve holds, Honda part #42754-MN5-000. Missing rim valve holds can lead to valve stem failure, rapid tire deflation, loss of control, and road rash. Listen for the sound of air leakage.
- REPEAT: The single most important thing you can do to prevent motorcycle tire failure is to always ride on properly inflated tires!
