Just to remind you, you get the same paper at Honda Deutschland aswell and
they told me local dealers should have these aswell. Here is the text of my
mail from
Fri, 4 Oct 1996:
Interesting fact for RD07 Owners in Germany:
I ask Honda Germany for all Tyres that are allowed by the TUEV and they
send me a paper where 3 more Combinations are listed. Additionally the
paper says if you use one of those three possibilities you DO NOT have to
get them registered in the "Fahrzeugschein", you just have to take this
paper with you.
The combinations are:
Front: Back:
Dunlop D 604 F Dunlop D 604
Metzler Enduro 4 Metzler Enduro 4
Pirelli MT 80 Front Pirelli MT 80 RS
The adress to ge this paper is:
Honda Deutschland GmbH
Sprendlinger Landstraße 166
63069 Offenbach/Main
According to them Honda dealers should have this paper to and hand out a
copie if you ask for it.
