FRONT WHEEL/SUSPENSION/STEERING
Apply cement over the area marked and allow it to
dry until tacky.
Do not touch the cement with dirty or greasy hands.
Remove the lining from the patch and center over
the injury.
Press the patch against the injury using a special
roller.
Use only water as a
lubricant when
removing or
mounting tires.
Soap or some
mounting lubricants
may leave a slippery
residue which can
cause the tire to
shift on the rim and
lose air pressure
during riding.
ASSEMBLY
Install the tire onto the rim, where the rim shoulder
width is the narrowest, to simplify installation.
Clean the rim bead seat and flanges.
Apply clean water to the rim flanges, bead seat and
base.
Install the valve core in the valve stem.
Install the tire with the arrow mark facing in the nor-
mal rotating direction.
Inflate the tire to seat the tire bead.
Deflate the tire. Wait 1 hour and inflate the tire to
the specified pressure.
