Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Service Manual: Tire inspection
Inspect tire every 6 000 km (4 000 miles, 12 months)
Tire tread condition
Operating the motorcycle with excessively worn tires will decrease riding stability and consequently invite a dangerous situation. It is highly recommended to replace a tire when the remaining depth of tire tread reaches the following specification.
Special tool
: 09900–20805 (tire depth gauge)
Tire tread depth (service limit) front: 1.6 Mm (0.06 In) rear: 2.0 Mm (0.08 In)
Tire pressure
If the tire pressure is too high or too low, steering will be adversely affected and tire wear increased. Therefore, maintain the correct tire pressure for good roadability, or shorter tire life will result. Cold inflation tire pressure is as follows.

Air bleeding from brake fluid circuit
Air trapped in the brake fluid circuit acts like a cushion to
absorb a large proportion of the pressure developed by
the master cylinder and thus interferes with the full
braking performance of the brake caliper. The presence
of air is indicated by “sponginess” of the brake lever and
also by la ...
