OVERHAULING THE WHEELS
The tables hereunder show the type of control the rim and wheel
axle are to be submitted to.
Note*: if the rim is badly, it should be re-
placed.

DEFORMATION RIM
STANDARD
Side skid
less than 0,5 mm
Eccentricity
less than 0,8 mm
WHEEL RIM AXLE BENDING
If the bending figure is over the allowable max. limit, straighten
or replace the axle.
If the wheel axle cannot be straightened within the max. limit
(0,2 mm) stated, replace it.
WHEEL SPOKES
Check to make sure that all the nipples are tight; tighten them
if necessary.
MAX. LIMIT
Remember that an insufficient stretch jeopardizes the motorcy-
cle stability.
For an instant check, use a metal point (for instance, a screw-
2 mm
driver) to beat the spokes with. A live sound accounts for an
(0,078 in)
accurate tightening, while a dull sound means that a new tight-
ening is necessary.
