Refer to Safety Precautions on page 23.
Keeping the wheels true (round) and maintaining
correct spoke tension 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 tire slippage.
It is not necessary to remove the wheels to
perform the recommended service in the
Maintenance Schedule (page 25). However,
information for wheel removal is provided for
emergency situations.
