92 Servicing Your Honda
Wheels
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 25.
Maintenance of spoke tension and wheel trueness
(roundness) is critical to safe motorcycle
operation. During the first few rides, 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. It’s also important that the rim locks are
secure to prevent tyre slippage.
It is not necessary to remove the wheels to
perform the recommended service in the Regular
Off-road Use Maintenance Schedule (page 27).
