CHASSIS AND WHEELS

Wheel spokes
Make sure all nipples are firmly tightened (4.4 Nm, 0.45 Kgm, 3.2 ft/lb). Retighten
if needed. Improper tightening will affect motorcycle stability; for a quick check,
simply tap the spokes with the tip of a metal tool (such as a screwdriver): a clear,
crisp sound indicates proper tightening, a dull sound means that the spokes
need to be tightened.
Wheel rim warpage
The table below reports the allowed limits for wheel rim warpage. Exceeding
runout or out-of-round are generally due to worn bearings. When this is the case,
replace the bearings. If this does not solve the problem, change the wheel rim
or the wheel.
