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.

2 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.

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.
