WHEEL RIMS AND SPOKES
1.Inspect the wheel rims(1)and spokes (2)for
damage.
2.Tighten any loose spokes and rim locks(3)
3.Check wheel rim runout. If runout is
noticeable, see your SKYTEAM dealer for
inspection.
Maintenance of spoke tension and wheel trueness
are critical to safe motorcycle cooperation.
During the first 150 km(100miles), spokes will
loosen more rapidly due to initial seating of parts.
Excessively loose spokes may result in high
speed instability and possible loss of control.
