A torque wrench is recommended for tighten-
ing the wheel nuts. If a torque wrench is not
available, tighten the nuts with a socket wrench
for wheel nuts by resting the weight of your
body on the handle of the wrench.
Torque is a turning effort. It is expressed as a
product of length and force.
Check the tire pressure and adjust it if neces-
sary. For the tire pressure, see Specifications
and Refill Capacities.
NOTICE: The tire pressure is indicated on the
nameplate attached to the left side
of the hood and seat assembly.
• How to Determine Tightening Torque • Inspecting Tire Pressure
If your weight is 60 kg (132 lb), for instance:
– Rest your weight on the wrench handle
at a point of 68 cm (26.8 in.) from the
wheel nut to tighten the front wheel
nuts, as expressed by this formula:
403 N
•
m (41.1 kgf
•
m) [297 lbf
•
ft]
= 68 cm (26.8 in.)

– Rest your weight on the wrench handle
at a point of 65 cm (25.6 in.) from the
wheel nut to tighten the rear wheel nuts,
as expressed by this formula:
377 N
•
m (38.5 kgf
•
m) [278 lbf
•

– DO NOT shake yourself when resting
your weight on the wrench handle.
– DO NOT overtighten the wheel nuts.
– Overtightening will strain the bolts or
deform the clamping surface of wheel
disc.
