NSR 150 SP Owner's Manual: Tubeless Tyres


TUBELESS TYRES

This motorcycle is equipped with tubeless tyres, valves, and wheel rims. Use only tyres marked "TUBELESS" and tubeless valves on rims marked "TUBELESS TYRE APPLICABLE" . Proper air pressure will provide maximum stability, riding comfort and tyre life. Check tyre pressure frequently and adjust if necessary.

NOTE:
  • Tyre pressure should be checked before you ride while the tyres are "cold".
  • Tubeless tyres have some degree of selfsealing ability if they are punctured, and leakage is often very slow. Inspect very closely for punctures, especially if  the tyre is not fully inflated.

Check the tyres for cuts, embedded nails or other sharp objects. Check the rims for dents or deformation. If there is any damage, see your authorized Honda dealer for repair, replacement, and balancing.


WARNING
  • Improper tyre inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and create a safety hazard. Underinflation may result in the tyre slipping on, or coming off of the rim causing tyre deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle control.
  • Operation with excessively worn tyres is hazardous and will adversely affect traction and handling.




Replace tyres before tread depth at the center of the tyre reaches the following limit:


Minimum tread depth
Front:
1.5 mm (0.06 in)
Rear:
2.0 mm (0.08 in)


Tyre Repair/Replacement:
See your authorized Honda Dealer.



WARNING

  • The use of tyres other than those listed on the tyre information label may adversely affect handling.
  • Do not install tube-type tyres on tubeless rims. The beads may not seat and the tyres could  slip on the rims, causingtyre deflationthat may result in a loss of vehicle control.
  • Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tyre. Excessive heat build-up may cause the
  • tube to burst resulting in rapid tyre deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle control.
  • Proper wheel balance is necessary for safe, stable handling of the motorcycle. Do not remove or change any wheel balance weights. When wheel balancing is required, see your authorized Honda dealer. Wheel balancing is required after tyre repair or replacement.


WARNING
  • To avoid possible repair failure and tyre deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle control, do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) for the first 24 hours, or 130 km/h (80 mph) at any time, after tyre repair.
  • Replace the tyre if the sidewall is punctured or damaged. Sidewall flexing may cause repair failure and tyre deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle control.

CAUTION:
Do not try to remove tubeless tyres without special tools and rim protectors. You may damage the rim sealing surface or disfigure the rim.
