Wheel Rims And Spokes - Honda CRF230F Owner's Manual

WHEEL RIMS AND SPOKES

Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 47.
1. Inspect the wheel rims (1) and spokes (2)
for damage.
2. Tighten any loose spokes and rim locks
(3).
3. Check wheel rim runout. If runout is
noticeable, see your Honda dealer for
inspection.
Maintenance of spoke tension and wheel
tr ueness are critical to safe motorcycle
operation. During the first 150 km (100 miles),
spokes will loosen more rapidly due to initial
seating of parts. Excessively loose spokes may
result in high speed instability and possible
loss of control.
