MV Agusta BRUTALE 800 Maintenance Manual page 30

Checking the wheel rims
1
Before riding, always verify the absence of
cracks, bending or buckling on the wheel rims.
WARNING
If you find that the wheel rim is dam-
aged, have it replaced by an authorized
MV Agusta dealer. Never attempt to
repair the wheel rim, even in case of
slight damage.
Every time you replace a tyre or a rim,
you must have a wheel balancing per-
formed by an authorized MV Agusta
dealer. Wheel unbalance can adversely
affect performance and handling of the
motorcycle, as well as shorten the life of
the tyres.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When you have a wheel balancing per-
formed, make sure to assemble only
approved counterweights on the wheel
rim. MV Agusta recommends not to use
balancing or balancing/sealing fluids.
WARNING
Do not attempt to have a tubeless tyre
removed without using the proper tools
and protections for the wheel rim.
Otherwise, you could damage the seal-
ing surface of the rim, leading to the
deflation of the tyre and the loss of con-
trol of the vehicle.
