TIGHTENING/WHEEL INSPECTION
EC36Q000
TIRE PRESSURE CHECK
1. Measure:
Tire pressure
Out of specification → Adjust.
NOTE:
Check the tire while it is cold.
Loose bead stoppers allow the tire to slip off
its position on the rim when the tire pressure
is low.
A tilted tire valve stem indicates that the tire
slips off its position on the rim.
If the tire valve stem is found tilted, the tire is
considered to be slipping off its position. Cor-
rect the tire position.
Standard tire pressure:
100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2, 15 psi)
EC36S002
SPOKES INSPECTION AND TIGHTENING
1. Inspect:
Spokes 1
Bend/damage → Replace.
Loose spoke → Retighten.
2. Tighten:
Spokes
NOTE:
Be sure to retighten these spokes before and
after break-in. After a practice or a race check
spokes for looseness.

WHEEL INSPECTION
1. Inspect:
Wheel runout
Elevate the wheel and turn it.
Abnormal runout → Replace.

Measurement and adjustment steps:
Hold the carburetor in an upside down
position.
NOTE:
Slowly tilt the carburetor in the opposite
direction, then take the measurement
when the needle valve aligns with the float
arm.
If the carburetor is level, the weight of the
float will push in the needle valve, result-
ing in an incorrect measurement.
Measure the distance between the mating
surface of the float chamber and top of the
float using a vernier calipers.
NOTE:
The float arm should be resting on the nee-
dle valve, but not compressing the needle
valve.
If the float height is not within specifica-
tion, inspect the valve seat and needle
valve.
If either is worn, replace them both.
If both are fine, adjust the float height by
bending the float tab b on the float.
Recheck the float height.
