TIRES AND WHEELS
TIRE INFLATION
1
WARNING
Do not inflate any tire beyond its maximum inflation pres-
sure as specified on tire sidewall. Overinflation may
cause tire to suddenly deflate leading to personal injury.
Check tire pressure and tread:
●
Before every ride.
●
At the 500 (800 km) mile service interval.
●
At every scheduled service interval.
Check for proper front and rear tire pressures when tires are
cold. Compare pressure against Table 1-6.
WHEEL BEARINGS
Check wheel bearings:
●
Every time the wheel is removed.
●
At every 10,000 mile (16,000 km) service interval.
●
When storing or removing the motorcycle for the season.
Check wheel bearings and axle spacers for wear and corro-
sion. Excessive play or roughness indicates worn bearings.
Replace bearings in sets only.
SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Check speedometer cable:
●
Inspect before every ride.
●
Lubricate at every 5000 mile (8000 km) service interval.
Examine speedometer cable housing (outer sheath) for kinks
or other damage. Replace entire cable assembly if any dam-
age is noted.
Lubricate inner cable with a good quality graphite grease.
Wipe off excess grease.
