Max Saddlebags
Take care with your new motorcycle tires
Sunlight - Tires stored in direct sunlight for long periods of time will harden and age more quickly than those kept in a dark or dimly lit area.Oil and Gasoline - Prolonged contact with oil or gasoline causes contamination of the rubber compound. Wipe off any oil or gasoline immediately with a clean rag. This warning applies to corrosives or non-rubber compatible liquids as well. Avoid cleaners or dressings like Armor All. These may degrade the rubber and remove ozone cracking and weather-checking resistance. If you've got raised tires with sidewalls, white stripes or raised white lettering, which are common on cruiser China Motorcycles tires, use a mild soap solution to clean them up and then rinse with plain water.
Always seek expert inspection of the tire after plunking a curb, pothole or whenever you run over something hard. If a bulge appears, or if tire pressure decreases, don't ride on it. Take it in and have your local dealer check it out.With all the numbers and letters on the side of a tire, it's easy to get confused, so here is the basic breakdown of what each one designates.
Metric Designations
130/90 - 16 67 H
130=Tire width (mm)
90 = Aspect Ratio (90%)
16 =Rim Diameter (in.)
67 = Load Rating
H =Speed Rating
Alphabetical Designations
MT 90 - 16 Load Range B
M=Motorcycle Code
T=Tire Width Code
90=Aspect Ratio (90%)
16=Rim Diameter (in.)
Load Range B=Load Rating
Inch Designations
5.00 H 16 4PR
5.00=Section Width
H=Speed Rating
16=Rim Diameter (in.)
4PR=Casing Strength (ply rating)
If you're going to be stuffing the saddlebags for a long trip or plan on taking your honey on a nice road trip, the added weight is going to change the handling characteristics of your bike. Luckily, the good people at the International Standards Organization (ISO) have researched how much pressure needs to be in a tire when a bike is carrying extra weight and provides riders with the results of their findings in the form of the ISO Load/Speed Index.
This code, when present, appears after the size marking. The code is made up of three characters-- two numbers and a letter. So, if your tire is stamped like this - 130/90 - 16 67 H - then the Load/Speed Index is the 67 H. The two-digit number is a code for the maximum load carrying capacity of the tire. The letter is a maximum speed rating and lets you know the highest speed at which the tire may be used safely with a full load when the maximum listed tire inflation pressure is used.
Sometimes tires won't have the Load/Speed Index listed at the end. They sometimes use the letters below stamped in between the width and the wheel diameter. The following table lists the speed ratings for each category of tire. The speed rating means that when a tire is pumped up to the maximum inflation pressure when carrying a load, the tire will perform safely up to a designated speed. The amount of pressure that needs to be in the tire, the maximum load that specific tire can handle and the highest speed you can travel at safely on that tire is stamped on the sidewall for you. You just need to know how to understand the code. Click this link to see a list of speed ratings.
A couple of quick notes... Certain "V" or "VR" rated tires may have a speed capacity greater then 149mph (240kph). Check with your local tire distributor for maximum speed information if your jincheng motorcycles exceeds this speed capability.
Tires also come with a Z or ZR rating. These are high-performance tires built for speed. When they are pumped up to the max, the tire is will roll safely with the maximum marked sidewall load at sustained speeds in excess of 149mph and up to a speed determined by the tire manufacturer when installed on a specific motorcycle. Again, check with your local tire manufacturer to get these numbers.
And don't think that putting on a tire with a higher rating will upgrade your bike's performance. When a motorcycle manufacturer decides on the tires for a particular model, they make sure that the speed rating of the tire meets the maximum speed capability of the motorcycle wholesale . If you fit higher speed-rated tires, there is a good chance that you will sacrifice some other performance aspect such as mileage. This being the case, it is usually best to stay with the speed rating of the original tires.
