Tyres - Ducati MONSTER Serie Anleitung- Und Instandhaltungsheft

Tyres

Front tyre pressure:
2
2.1 bar – 2.3 kg / cm
Rear tyre pressure:
2
2.2 bar – 2.4 kg / cm
As tyre pressures are affected by temperature and altitude
variations, check and adjust them whenever you are riding
in areas where there are large variations in temperature or
altitude.
Important
Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold.
To prevent distortion of the front wheel rim, increase tyre
pressure by 0.2 - 0.3 bar when riding on bumpy roads.
Repairing/replacing tyres
With minor punctures, tubeless tyres take a long time to
deflate, as they tend to hold the air inside. If you find low
pressure on one tyre, check the tyre for punctures.
Warning
A tyre must be replaced when punctured.
Replace with tyres of the original brand and type.
Be sure to tighten the valve caps securely to prevent
leaks while riding. Never use tube type tyres, as these
can cause the tyre to burst suddenly, with possibly
serious consequences for the rider and passenger.
After replacing a tyre, the wheel must be balanced.
Important
Do not remove or shift the wheel balancing weights.
Notes
If tyres need replacing, contact a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Workshop to make sure wheels are removed
and refitted correctly.
