WHEEL REPLACEMENT
When replacing wheels for any reason
make sure the new wheels are equivalent
to original factory units in diameter, rim
width and offset. Proper tyre balancing
provides the best riding comfort and helps
reduce tyre tread wear. Out of balance
tyres can cause annoying vibration and
uneven tyre wear, such as cupping and
flat spots.
CAUTION
A wrong size wheel may adversely
affect wheel life and bearing life, brak-
ing and stopping abilities, handling
characteristics, ground clearance,
body-to-tyre clearance, snow chain
clearance, speedometer calibration,
headlight aim, and bumper height.
