Wheel rim runout
Check the rim runout by placing the wheel in a turn-
ing stand.
Spin the wheel by hand, and read the runout using a
dial indicator.
Actual runout is 1/2 the total indicator reading.
Wheel balance
• Mount the tire with the arrow mark facing in the
direction of rotation.
• The wheel balance must be checked when the
tire is remounted.
• For optimum balance, the tire balance mark (light
mass point: a paint dot on the side wall) must be
located next to the valve stem. Remount the tire
if necessary.
Mount the wheel, tire and brake discs (and pulser
ring; CBF600SA/NA) assembly in an inspection
stand.
Spin the wheel, allow it to stop, and mark the lowest
(heaviest) point of the wheel with a chalk.
Do this two or three times to verify the heaviest
area.
If the wheel is balanced, it will not stop consistently
in the same position.
