2. “Touring-Special” Tires
Gentlemen:
Munich, April •74

1. With immediate effect, our motorcycles will be equipped
with butyl rubber tubes. These tubes lose less air by
diffusion.
Since butyl tubes are slightly more prone to abrasion,
a rubber rim tape is inserted as well as the normal
adhesive rim tape. The tubes are marked “B” or “Butyl”.
If tubes not so marked are installed subsequently,
the rubber rim tape can still be used in addition
to the adhesive rim tape.
In this connection we would remind you again that
when a worn tire is renewed, the tube should also
be discarded and a new tube installed. We recommend
always using a tube from the same manufacturer as
the tire.
2. The new “Touring-Special” tires manufactured by the
Metzeler Company are marked with an arrow indicating
the correct direction of rotation. Make sure that
these tires are always installed with the arrow
pointing in the correct running direction.
