TIRES AND TUBES
2.8
GENERAL
1634
Tires should be inspected for punctures, cuts, breaks and
wear at least weekly.
Whenever a tube type tire is replaced, the tube should also
be replaced. Inner tubes should be patched only as an emer-
gency measure. Replace a damaged tube as soon as possi-
ble. Inner tubes must be used on all Harley-Davidson laced
wheels.
1WARNING
Excessively worn tires are more susceptible to penetra-
tions. Always remove tires from service before they
reach the tread wear indicator bars, which indicates that
1/32 inch (0.79 mm) tread pattern depth remains. Worn/
unworn tire combinations and worn tires used in wet
conditions can ad-versely affect handling and lead to
loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or
serious injury.

1WARNING
Use the correct inner tube and tire. See TIRE DATA in
SPECIFICATIONS. Use of incorrect tires or tubes can
adversely affect handling or result in tire failure, which
could result in death or serious injury.
1WARNING
Do not interchange tire valves from one type to another.
Always replace valves with the same type as originally
furnished, either the threaded valve stem or snap-in
type. The rim configuration is designed to fit one type
only. Use of the wrong valve can lead to tire failure,
which could result in death or serious injury.

See Figure 2-31. Starting at the valve stem, start the first
bead into the rim well. Work the bead on as far as possi-
ble by hand. Use the tire tool to pry the remaining bead
over the rim flange. If tire has colored dot on sidewall, it
is a balance mark and should be located next to valve
stem hole.

with tire tools, working toward valve in both directions.
Remove the valve core from the rim hole before prying

Tire Radial Runout
Make sure inner tube valve stem moves in and out freely,
then inflate the tire to recommended pressure to seat the
bead. See TIRE DATA at the beginning of this section.

1WARNING
Do not inflate tire over 40 psi (2.8 bars) to seat beads.
Inflating tire beyond this point can cause the tire rim
assembly to burst, which could result in death or serious
injury. If the beads fail to seat, deflate and relubricate the
bead and rim. Reinflate to seat beads, but do not exceed
40 psi (2.8 bars).

CAUTION
When mounting tire and tube on the rim, use extreme
care so the inner tube is not pinched.
