Replacing a worn tyre

Remember, the precise matching of front and rear tyres is necessary to obtain optimum performance and handling. When fitting a new front tyre, check the wear on the rear tyre. A new front tyre combined with worn rear tyre may cause instability.
Please bear in mind that many other factors can affect the handling of a motorcycle, including the weight and height of the rider, and the addition of luggage or fairings. Please consult the motor-cycle manufacturer before making non standard modifications.
