Wheel balance
To improve
stability and
decrease
vibrations
at
high speeds, the
wheels have
to
be
kept
bal-
anced.
Operations are
as follows:
-
Remove
the
wheel from
the
vehicle and su-
spend it on a
fork.
-
Spin the wheel lightly several
times
and
see
if it always stops at
various
positions,
thus indi-
cating
a correct
balance.
-
If one point of the wheel always
stops
at
the
bottom,
put
a
proper balance weight
opposite
that
point.
-
Repeat
this
operation until the wheel
is
cor-
rectly
balanced.
TyrH
The
tyre
condition is of main
importance
as sta-
bility
of
the vehicle, riding
comfort
and even
rider safety are depending
on
this factor.
It
is
therefore
quite avisable
not to use
tyres
with tread lower than 2 mm.
A
wrong tyre
pressure can also affect the
sta-
bility
of
the
vehicle
and
shorten
the tyre
life.
Correct
pressure is:
-
front wheel
:
solo or with pillion
