Refer to Important Safety Precautions on page 23.
Keeping the wheels true (round) and maintaining
correct spoke tension are 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.
1. Inspect the wheel rims (1) and spokes (2) for
damage.
2. Tighten, any loose spokes and rim locks (3) to
the specified torque:
Spokes: 2.7 lbf·ft (3.7 N·m, 0.4 kgf·m)
Rim Locks: 9 lbf·ft (12 N·m, 1.2 kgf·m)
3. Check wheel rim runout. If runout is
noticeable, see an official Honda Service
Manual for inspection instructions.
See an official Honda Service Manual for
inspection information:
1. Check the axle shaft for runout.
2. Check the condition of the wheel bearings.
