[GS/R (spoked wheel)] Centering
wheel rim
Max. permissible lateral/vertical runout...1.3 mm
.............................................................. (0.0512 in)
Max. horizontal runout which can be eliminated
by centering...............................................2.0 mm
.............................................................. (0.0787 in)
L Note:
Vertical runout cannot be compensated for by
centering the rim.
Centering horizontal runout
Determine maximum deviation (plus (+) and
minus (-)).
To center the wheel, the spoke nipples must be
tightened on the side directly opposite the lar-
gest deviation.
Remove grub screw from relevant spoke nipple
before tightening.
Working forwards and backwards from the max-
imum and minimum value points, take up slack at
every 3rd spoke nipple.
e Caution:
Never attempt to compensate for the entire horizon-
tal runout at only one or two spokes.
At the point where the maximum plus and minus
values occur, take up slack at 2 spokes.
Four spokes are therefore tightened during each
centering operation.
Check horizontal runout with a dial gauge.
After every correction of horizontal runout, check
vertical runout again.
If necessary, repeat the centering operation.
Lock tightened spokes into place with grub
screws.
X Tightening torque:
Spoke nipple.................................................. 5 Nm
