Checking the wheel rims
Before riding, always verify the absence of
cracks, bending or buckling on the wheel rims.
WARNING
If you find that the wheel rim is damaged
in any way do not ride the motorcycle.
Have it replaced by an authorized MV
Agusta dealer. If you do have to ride the
motorcycle, it should be operated at low
speeds and driven only to the nearest MV
Agusta dealer. Never attempt to repair the
wheel rim, even in case of slight damage.
Every time you replace a tire or a rim,
you must have a wheel balancing
performed by an authorized MV Agusta
dealer. Wheel unbalance can adversely
affect performance and handling of the
motorcycle, as well as shorten the life of
the tires. This may increase the risk of
accidents, with subsequent serious
injury or even death.
WARNING
When you have a wheel balancing
performed, make sure to assemble only
approved counterweights on the wheel
rim. Do not use balancing or balan-
cing/sealing fluids.
WARNING
Do not attempt to have a tubeless tire
removed without using the proper tools
and protections for the wheel rim.
Otherwise, you could damage the sea-
ling surface of the rim, leading to the
deflation of the tire and the loss of con-
trol of the vehicle, resulting in an acci-
dent, personal injury or death.
