Proper tire pressure and proper tire loading are important factors. Over loading tire can lead to tire failure and loss of motorcycle control.
Under-inflated tires make smooth cornering difficult, and can result in rapid tire wear.
Over-inflated tires have a smaller amount of tire in contact with the load, which can contribute to skidding and loss of control.
Replace the wheel when wheel runout exceed the service limit or if find damage such as distortion, crack, nick or scratch.
When tire replacement is necessary, the original equipment type tire should be used.
Do not mix different types of tires on the same vehicle such as radial and bias-belted tires except in emergencies, because handling may be seriously affected and may result in loss of control.
Replacement wheel must be equivalent to the original equivalent wheel.
