Wheels - Honda CRF80F 2009 Owner's Manual

Refer to Saf ety Precautions
Keeping the wheels true (round) and
maintaining correct spoke tension is critical to
safe motorcycle operation. During the first 100
miles (150 km), 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. However, information
for wheel removal is provided for emergency
situations.
