critical to safe motorcycle operation. During
the
first 150
km (100 miles), 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.
Inspect the wheel rims and spokes for
damage.
Tighten any loose spokes to the specified torque.
