8 Tires/wheels - general check

Refer to illustration 8.4

Routine tire and wheel checks should be made with the

realization that your safety depends to a great extent on their

condition.

Check the tires carefully for cuts, tears, embedded nails or other

sharp objects and excessive wear. Operation of the motorcycle with

excessively worn tires is extremely hazardous, as traction and handling

are directly affected. Measure the tread depth at the center of the tire

and replace worn tires with new ones when the tread depth is less than

specified.

3 Repair or replace punctured tires as soon as damage is noted. Do

not try to patch a torn tire, as wheel balance and tire reliability may be

impaired.

4 Check the tire pressures when the tires are cold and keep them

properly inflated (see illustration). Proper air pressure will increase tire

Irfe and provide maximum stability and ride comfort. Keep in mind that

low tire pressures may cause the tire to slip on the rim or come off,

while high tire pressures will cause abnormal tread wear and unsafe

handling.

5 The cast wheels used on some models are virtually maintenance

free, out they should be kept clean and checked periodically for cracks

and other damage. Never attempt to repair damaged cast wheels; they

must be replaced with new ones.

6 Check the valve stem locknuts to make sure they are tight. Also,

make sure the valve stem cap is in place and tight. If it is missing,

install a new one made of metal or hard plastic.

9 Throttle and choke operation/grip freeplay - check

and adjustment

Throttle check

1 Make sure the throttle grip rotates easily from fully closed to fully

open with the front wheel turned at various angles. The grip should

return automatically from fully open to fully closed when released. If

the throttle sticks, check the throttle cable(s) for cracks or kinks in the

housings. Also, make sure the inner cables are cfean and well-

lubricated.

2 Check for a small amount of freeplay at the grip and compare the

freeplay to the value listed in this Chapter's Specifications. If

adjustment is necessary, adjust idle speed first (see Section 19).

Single cable models

Refer to illustration 9.3

3 Loosen the lockwheel at the throttle grip (see illustration). Turn

the adjuster to give a slight amount of freeplay, then tighten the

lockwheel.

Dual cable models

Refer to illustration 9.9

4 These models use two throttle cables - an accelerator cable and a

decelerator cable. Initial freeplay adjustments are made at the

carburetor end of the cable.

5 Remove the seat, and if necessary, the side covers (see Chap-

ter 7).
