CRF150F
Wheel Rims and Spokes
(Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 39.)
1. Inspect the wheel rims (1) and spokes (2) for
damage.
2. Tighten any loose spokes and rim locks (3).
3. Check wheel rim runout. If runout is noticeable,
see your Honda dealer for inspection.
Maintenance of spoke tension and wheel trueness
are critical to safe motorcycle operation. During the
first 150 km (100 miles), spokes will loosen more
rapidly due to initial seating of parts. Excessively
loose spokes may result in high speed instability and
possible loss of control.

Front Wheel Removal
1. Raise the front wheel off the ground by placing a
support block under the engine.
2. Loosen the axle holder nuts (1).
3. Unscrew and remove the front axle shaft (2).
Remove the wheel and side collars.
Do not depress the brake lever when the wheel
is off the motorcycle. The caliper pistons will be
forced out of the cylinders with subsequent loss of
brake fluid. If this occurs, servicing of the brake
system will be necessary. See your Honda dealer
for this service.
