Kawasaki Ninja Owners Manual: Payload and Tire Pressure

Kawasaki Ninja Owners Manual / Maintenance and adjustment / Wheels / Payload and Tire Pressure

Failure to maintain proper inflation pressures or observe payload limits for your tires may adversely affect handling and performance of yourmotorcycle and can result in loss of control. The maximum recommended load in addition to vehicle weight is 180 kg (397 lb), including rider, passenger, baggage, and accessories.

Remove the air valve cap.
Check the tire pressure often, using an accurate gauge.
Make sure to install the air valve cap securely.

NOTE

Measure the tire pressure when the tires are cold (that is, when the motorcycle has not been ridden more than a mile during the past 3 hours).
Tire pressure is affected by changes in ambient temperature and altitude, and so the tire pressure should be checked and adjusted when your riding involves wide variations in temperature or altitude.
