Tyre mounting - important information warning

These tyres are only to be used on vehicles for which motorcycle tyres were originally stipulated by the manufacturer. Any other use can be dangerous.
Check if the tyre has directional arrows. If it does, you must mount the tyre so that the arrow points in the direction of rotation. Some Pirelli tyres have a red dot on the side wail. This indicates the lightest point, and should be positioned next to the valve. To dean or lubricate the bead, use tyre mounting lubricant or soapy water. To seat the bead: remove the valve stem core and inflate the tyre. For safety reasons, do not inflate motorcycle tyres to more than 50 psi (3,5 bar); for scooters tyres do not exceed 150 % of the indicated maximum pressure. Be sure to reinstall the valve stem core and inflate the tyre/tube to the recommended riding pressure. Check the bead control lines for proper seating.
If the beads are net properly seated, you will have to deflate the tyres/tubes and repeat the above procedure.
