q Checking Spoke Tension – MX500 / MX650
WARNING:
Regularly check the spoke
tension and retighten the
spokes whenever loose. If
you have any doubt, ask an
experienced motorcycle or
bicycle mechanic to inspect
your spokes to determine if
the spokes need tightening or
adjusting.
1
Verify spoke tension by grasping and shaking each spoke. Spoke
should not be loose from hub. Look for any play between spoke flang-
es where it mates with hub. Try to turn nipple using your fingers. You
should not be able to spin any nipple by hand. If one or more spokes
are loose, or if you can turn any nipple using your fingers, all spokes
must be checked and need to be tightened with a spoke wrench.

Start with spoke closest to
tire valve stem and tighten each
nipple, in sequence, exactly 1⁄4
to 1⁄2 turn. A single 1⁄4 to 1⁄2
turn may not be enough to bring
the spokes into proper tension.
Continue tightening all spokes
no more than 1⁄2 turn in
sequence until all spokes
are tight.
Note: Tightening each nipple
more than a 1⁄2 turn each can
cause the wheel to become
distorted and wobbly thus
permanently damaging the
wheel.
