Book Excerpt: 1992-1997 Honda CR125R, CR250R Repair Manual FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING

RIM AND SPOKE SERVICE The wheel assembly consists of a rim, spokes, nipples and hub (containing the bearing assembly, distance collar and seals). Loose or improperly tightened spokes can cause hub damage. Periodically inspect the wheel assembly for loose, broken or missing spokes, rim damage and runout. Wheel bearing service is described under Front Hub in this chapter.
RIM INSPECTION AND RUNOUT Inspect the rims for cracks, warpage or dents (Figure 31). Replace damaged rims. Wheel runout is the amount of wobble a wheel shows as it rotates. You can check runout with the wheels on the bike by simply supporting the wheel off the ground and turning the wheel slowly while holding a pointer solidly against a fork leg or swing arm (Fig. 32). For more accuracy, check runout with a truing stand (Figure 33). Table 3 lists the rim side-to-side and up-and-down runout limits. If you are using a torque wrench to tighten the spoke nipples, refer to the spoke nipple torque specification in Table 10.

TRANSMISSION AND INTERNAL SHIFT MECHANISM

This chapter describes disassembly and reassembly of the transmission shafts and internal shift mechanism. Before you can remove these parts, you must remove the engine and separate the crankcase halves (Chapter Four or Chapter Five). After disassembling the crankcase halves, removal of the transmission and external shift mechanism is a simple task of pulling the assemblies out of the crankcase. Table 1 lists transmission gear ratios for the CR125R and CR250R models. Service specifications are listed in Table 2 (CR125R), Table 3 (CR250R) and Table 4. Tables 1-4 are at the end of this chapter.
