CHASSIS AND WHEELS
Wheel spokes
Make sure all nipples are firmly tightened (4.4 Nm, 0.45 Kgm, 3.2 ft/lb). Retighten
if needed. Improper tightening will affect motorcycle stability; for a quick check,
simply tap the spokes with the tip of a metal tool (such as a screwdriver): a clear,
crisp sound indicates proper tightening, a dull sound means that the spokes
need to be tightened.
Wheel rim warpage
The table below reports the allowed limits for wheel rim warpage. Exceeding
runout or out-of-round are generally due to worn bearings. When this is the case,
replace the bearings. If this does not solve the problem, change the wheel rim
or the wheel.
Standard Max limit
Side runout less than 0.5 mm
2 mm (0.078 in.)
Out-of-round less than 0.8 mm
