Wheels
Keeping the wheels true (round) and maintaining correct spoke tension is
critical to safe motorcycle operation. During the first 100 miles (150 km),
spokes will loosen more rapidly due to the initial seating of the parts.
Excessively loose spokes may result in instability at high speeds and the
possible loss of control. Loose spokes may also cause rim or spoke damage
(not covered by warranty). It’s also important that the rim locks are secure
to prevent tire slippage.
It is not necessary to remove the wheels to perform the recommended ser-
vice in the Maintenance Schedule. However, information for wheel remov-
al is provided for emergency situations.
WHEEL RIMS & SPOKES
1. Inspect the wheel rims and spokes for damage.
2. Tighten any loose spokes
3. Rotate the wheel slowly to see if it appears to ‘‘wobble.’’ If it does, the
rim is out of round or not ‘‘true.’’ If the wobble is noticeable, see your
Certified Motorcycle Mechanic
for inspection.
