INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING A TYRE
TUBE-TYPE TYRES
Mounting procedure:
- When replacing the tyre, use a new tube too.
- Make sure that rims are clean and well preserved.
- Check the condition of the rim and the flap and, if required, change the flap.
- Slightly inflate the tube.
- Position the tyre in accordance with the designation ROTATION on the wall-side.
- Using a special tool mount the tyre (finish at the valve). Use a special emulsion to simplify the mounting procedure.
- Inflate the tyre up to the pressure of 3.5 Bar and check the position of the tyre bead and the tube. If the position is incorrect, deflate the tube and correct the position of the tube and the tyre bead. Re-inflate the tube until the tyre bead fits in the correct position on the rim.
- Adjust the tyre pressure up to the value specified by the motorcycle manufacturer.
Dismounting procedure:
- Remove the valve insert and completely deflate the tyre.
- Push both tyre beads from the rim.
- By means of a special tool remove the tyre from the rim.
TUBELESS TYRES
Mounting procedure:
- When replacing the tyre, replace the valve too.
- Make sure that rims are clean and well preserved.
- Apply special emulsion to the rim and the tyre bead.
- Position the tyre in accordance with the designation ROTATION on the wall-side.
- Using a special tool mount the tyre (finish at the valve).
- Inflate the tyre until the tyre bead correctly fits in the rim seat (it should slide over the TL edge on the rim) and carry on up to the pressure of at least 3.5 Bar to assure that the tyre closely sits on the rim. (It is recommended to inflate the tyre without a valve insert.)
- Adjust the tyre pressure up to the value specified by the motorcycle manufacturer.
Dismounting procedure:
- Follow the procedure for tube-type tyres.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR STORING
- Stored tyres may not be loaded, squeezed or stretched, since this can permanently deform the tyre.
- In the case of a short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), tyres may be stored in a horizontal position, one on top of one another up to the height of 1.5m but only if a carrying carton in inserted in tyres.
- For longer storage periods, tyres should be stored in a vertical position and slightly turned around once per month.
- Store tyres at the temperature of below 25°C, even better below 15°C. Deformations are more likely if temperatures are higher. Prevent a direct contact with heat, radiators and hot pipes. Low temperatures can unfavourably affect tyres. Before use, cold tyres are to be warmed up to 25°C.
- Store tyres in ozone-free spaces (away from electrical motors and other electrical equipment, which can produce sparks and other discharges that can cause or increase the concentration of ozone in the space), and spaces that are free from oxygen and chemical substances such as fuels, greases, chemicals, acids or disinfectants.
- Store tyres away from sharp objects, which could damage rubber surface (sharp metal parts, wooden parts or other sharp objects.
COLOURED TYRES
- General storing conditions have to be considered at storing coloured tyres. Furthermore, it should be considered that a coloured sidewall is extremely sensitive to dirt and direct exposure to sun light, which is why, tyres should be wrapped-up in foil and stored in a dark space.
