Saf ety Precautions

.
Inspect the wheel rims ( ) and spokes ( )
for damage.
Tighten any loose spokes.
Keeping the wheels true (round) and
maintaining correct spoke tension is critical to
safe motorcycle operation. During the first 100
miles (150 km), spokes will loosen more
rapidly due to the initial seating of the parts.
Excessively loose spokes may result in
instability at high speeds and the possible loss
of control. Loose spokes may also cause rim or
spoke damage (not covered by warranty). It’s
also important that the rim locks are secure to
prevent tire slippage.
It is not necessary to remove the wheels to
perform the recommended service in the
Maintenance Schedule. However, information
for wheel removal is provided for emergency
situations.
