INSPECTION
Turn the inner race of each bearing with your finger.
The bearings should turn smoothly and quietly. Also
check that the bearing outer race fits tightly in the hub.
Replace the bearings if they do not turn smoothly,
quietly, or if they fit loosely in the hub.
Inspect the following parts for damage, abnormal wear,
deformation or bend.
– Front axle
– Front wheel
Measure each part according to FRONT WHEEL/
SUSPENSION/STEERING SPECIFICATIONS (page 1-
9).
Replace any part if it is out of service limit.
WHEEL BALANCE
• Wheel balance directly affects the stability, handling
and overall safety of the motorcycle. Always check
balance whenever the tire has been removed from
the rim.
• For optimum balance, the tire balance mark [1] (a
paint dot on the side wall) must be located next to
the valve stem [2]. Remount the tire if necessary.
Note the rotating direction (arrow) marks [1] on the tire
and wheel upon tire mounting. Always mount the tire
onto the wheel with the marks facing in the same
direction.
