Checking the rim run-out
Warning
Danger of accidents Incorrectly tensioned spokes impair the handling characteristic and result in
secondary damage.
The spokes break due to being overloaded if they are too tightly tensioned. If the tension in the spokes
is too low, then lateral and radial run-out will form in the wheel. Other spokes will become looser as a
result.
-
Check spoke tension regularly, and in particular on a new vehicle.
Info
A loose spoke can unbalance the wheel and other spokes may loosen within a short period.
If the spokes are too tight, they can break due to local overload.
Check the spoke tension regularly, especially on a new motorcycle.
-
Check for lateral and radial run-out of the rims.
Lateral runout
Outside the rim joint < 1 .8 mm (< 0.071 in)
Radial runout
Outside the rim joint < 1.8 mm (< 0.071 in)
If the measured value is greater than the specified value:
-
Center the rim.
Info
..
Center the rim by pulling the spoke nipple on
the other side of the rim run-out. If there is sig­
nificant deformation, change the rim.
