FRAME AND WHEELS
WHEEL SPOKES
Check to make sure that all the nipples are tight (4,4 Nm/ 0,45 Kgm/ 3.2 ft-lb);
tighten them if necessary.
Remember that an insufcient stretch jeopardizes the motorcycle stability.
For an instant check, use a metal point (for instance, a screwdriver) to beat the
spokes with. A live sound accounts for an accurate tightening, while a dull sound
means that a new tightening is necessary.
Rims warpage
The table below shows the control value that the wheel rim must be checked.
Too much skid and eccentricity are generally caused by any worn bearings. In
this case, replace teh bearings. If this operation does not get round this trouble,
replace the rim or the wheel.
