Install the pulser ring onto the right wheel hub.
Install new pulser ring bolts and tighten them in a
crisscross pattern in two or three steps.
WHEEL BALANCE
Wheel balance
directly affects the
stability, handling
and overall safety of
the motorcycle.
Carefully check bal-
ance before rein-
stalling the wheel.
• 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 (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 (ABS model only) assembly on an inspection
stand.
Spin the wheel, allow it to stop, and mark the lowest
(heaviest) part of the wheel with 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.
To balance the wheel, install a balance weight on
the lightest side of the spoke, on the side opposite
the chalk marks. Add just enough weight so the
wheel will no longer stop in the same position when
it is spun.
Do not add more than 60 g (2.1 oz) to the front
wheel.
