Aluminium wheels
Always inspect the aluminium wheels
before riding. Place the machine on the
center stand and check for cracks, bends
or warapage of the wheels. Do not at-
tempt even small repairs to the wheel. It
must be replaced.
Tires and wheels should be balanced
whenever either one is changed or re
placed. Failure to have a wheel assembly
balanced can result in poor perfo-
rmance, adverse handling character-
istics, and shortened tire life.

surfaces for wear and/or damage; for

tire is worn to its limit. Reolace the tire.
