Wheel balance
To improve stability and decrease vibrations at
high
speeds,
the wheels have to be kept ba-
lanced
.
Operations are as follows
:
•
ensure that all spokes are tightened and the
wheel
is trued
;
•
remove the wheel and
suspend it
on a
fork;
•
lightly spin the wheel
sever.al
times and see
if
it always stops
in various
positions,
thus
indi-
cating a
correct
balance
;
•
if
one
pO.int of the wheel always
stops
at the
bottom
,
put a balance weight
on
the spoke
oppo-
site this point
;
•
repeat this operation until the wheel is cor-
rectly balanced, then fix
the
balance weights to
the spokes
by means
of pliers
.
Balance weights are
available by our
dealers.
Tyres
Tyres are included
in
the components which
must
be very carefully checked: as vehicle sta-
bility,
riding comfort and even rider safety are
35
dependant on them. Therefore
it is
not advisable
-
to
use tyres having less than
2
mm
('/,6
"
)
thick-
ness
tread.
An
incorrect
tyre pressure may
affect
the vehi-
cle
stability
and cause
the tyre
to
quickly wear
out.
Recomm
ended
pressures are
:
front wheel
:
solo
or
with pillion
kg
/
sqcm
rear wheel
:
solo
kg
/
sqcm
with pillion

/
sqcm
2,1 (31 p.s .i.)
2,4 (32
p.s.i.)
2,6 (38
p.s
.i
.)
The above figures are suggested for
normal
ri-
ding
(c
ruising speed).
If
using
the
motorcycle at
constant
high speed
,
or on
hig~
ways,
it
is recommended to
increase
pressure by
0,2
kg
/
sqcm
(3
p.s.i. ).
