Moto Guzzi V85 TT - Owner's Manual > Gearbox oil level

THE MEASUREMENT MAY BE INCORRECT IF TYRES ARE WARM.

CHECK TYRE PRESSURE MAINLY BEFORE AND AFTER A LONG TRIP. AN OVER-INFLATED TYRE WILL PROVIDE A HARSH RIDE AS SURFACE UNEVENNESS IS NOT CUSHIONED AND IS SENT TO THE HANDLEBAR, THUS REDUCING GRIP AND ROAD HOLDING SPECIALLY WHEN CORNERING.

ON THE OTHER HAND, AN UNDER-INFLATED TYRE CAUSES THE CONTACT PATCH TO INCLUDE A LARGER PORTION OF THE TYRE SIDE WALLS. IF SO, THE TYRE MIGHT SLIP ON OR GET DETACHED FROM THE WHEEL RIM, RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE.

EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE MIGHT SKID IN A BEND.

CHECK THE SURFACE CONDITION AND WEAR BECAUSE POOR TYRE CONDITION COULD COMPROMISE GRIP AND HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE.

SOME TYRE TYPES APPROVED FOR THIS VEHICLE FEATURE WEAR INDICATORS.

THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF WEAR INDICATORS. CONSULT YOUR DEALER ON METHODS TO CHECK FOR WEAR.

CARRY OUT A VISUAL INSPECTION FOR TYRE WEAR AND TEAR, REPLACE TYRES WHEN WORN.

WHEN TYRES ARE OLD, THE MATERIAL MAY HARDEN AND NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE ROAD HOLDING, EVEN IF TYRES ARE STILL WITHIN THE WEAR LIMIT. REPLACE TYRES IF THIS OCCURS. REPLACE THE TYRE IF IT IS WORN OR IF THERE IS A PUNCTURE LARGER THAN 5 mm (0.197 in) IN THE TREAD AREA.

WHEEL MUST BE BALANCED AFTER A TYRE IS MENDED.

USE ONLY TYRE SIZES INDICATED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DO NOT FIT TYRES WITH INNER TUBES ON RIMS FOR TUBELESS TYRES OR VICE VERSA.
