Vehicle Setup
6999-0006 Rev. A
1-9
Tires
Check and adjust the front and rear tire pressure. Normal air
pressure for front and rear tires is 36 psi (cold) for loads up to
200 lbs. and 40 psi (cold) on the rear tire only for loads from
200 lbs. up to 440 lbs.
Spokes
Inspect both wheels for loose, bent, broken, or missing
spokes. To identify loose spokes, grasp each spoke and try to
move it side to side or up and down. All spokes should be
equally tight and have the same amount of flex. Tighten loose
spokes or replace bent, broken, or missing spokes.
See the
motorcycle’s Service Handbook.
WARNING
Spokes adjusted or replaced improperly could distort
the wheel, making the motorcycle difficult to handle
causing the rider to lose control of the motorcycle.
Steering Head
1.
Mount the motorcycle and bring it to an upright position.
Turn the handlebars from side to side (stop to stop). The
action should be smooth but not loose. There should be no
interference from the wires, control cables, or turn signals.
