2.9TRUING LACED WHEELS
GENERAL
The rim must be trued both laterally and radially. If new bear-
ings were installed, wheels may be trued with only the bearings
and center spacer installed.

1. Divide the wheel spokes into ten groups of four and mark
the center of each group with a piece of tape.The groups
should be directly across from one another and approxim-
ately 90 degrees apart. Tighten the spokes in these four
groups finger tight, leaving all others loose.
2. See Figure 2-52. Install truing arbor in wheel hub and
place wheel in WHEEL TRUING STAND (Part No. HD-
99500-80). Tighten arbor nuts so hub will turn on its
bearings.
3. See Figure 2-53 and Table 2-14 Lay a straightedge across
hub brake disc flange and one of the marked spoke
groups. Measure distance "A" from the straightedge to the
location as shown.
4. If the dimension is not correct, tighten the four spokes
accordingly. Use SPOKE WRENCH (Part No. HD-94681-
80). For example, If the measurement on the right rim
edge side is less than it should be, loosen the two spokes
attached to the hub right side and tighten the two spokes
attached to the hub left side.Turn all four spokes an equal
number of turns until offset dimension is correct.
NOTE
Always loosen the appropriate spokes before tightening the
other two. Reversing this procedure will cause the rim to
become out-of-round.
5. Repeat the previous step for all four groups on the wheel.
