REAR WHEEL/SUSPENSION
INSPECTION
Wheel rim runout
Check the rim runout by placing the wheel in a truing stand.
Spin the wheel slowly and read the runout using a dial indica-
tor.
SERVICE LIMITS:
RADIAL RUN OUT: 2.0 mm (0.08 in)
AXIAL RUNOUT: 2.0 mm (0.08 in)
NOTE
The wheel cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a
new one if the service limits are exceeded.
Wheel Balance
CAUTION
Wheel balance directly affects the stability, handling and over-
all safety of the motorcycle. Always check balance when the
tire has been removed from the rim.
NOTE
For optimum balance, the tire balance mark (a paint dot on
the side wall) must be located next to the valve stem.
Remount the tire if necessary.
Remove the dust seal from the wheel.
Mount the wheel and tire assembly in an inspection stand.
Spin the wheel, allow it to stop, and mark the lowest
(heaviest) part of the wheel with chalk.
Do this two or three times to verify the heaviest area. If the
wheel is balanced, it will not stop consistently in the same po-
sition.
To balance the wheel, install wheel weights on the highest
side of the rim, the side opposite the chalk marks. Add just
enough weight so the wheel will no longer stop in the same po-
sition when it's spun.
Do not add more than 60 grams to the rear wheel.
Drive pin hole
Check the drive pin holes for the damage.
