Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: The Dunlop D404 is an Original Equipment (OE) specification tyre for certain cruiser motorcycles and is also available in a wide range of sizes suitable for custom bike applications. Always confirm the specific tyre size and load/speed rating required for your motorcycle model before purchase. Available sizes include front and rear fitments.
Installation: Tyre installation should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper mounting and balancing. Incorrect installation can lead to premature wear, poor performance, and safety hazards.
Care: To maximize the lifespan and performance of your Dunlop D404 tyres:
- Maintain Proper Inflation: Regularly check tyre pressure (at least monthly and before long rides) and inflate to the manufacturer's recommended PSI, as indicated on your motorcycle's specifications or a sticker on the frame.
- Regular Inspection: Visually inspect tyres for signs of wear, such as uneven tread wear patterns, cuts, punctures, or embedded objects. Also, check the sidewalls for any cracks or bulges.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed your motorcycle's load capacity, as this can stress the tyres and affect handling.
- Proper Storage: If storing the motorcycle for an extended period, consider using tyre savers or stands to prevent flat spots.
