Checking wheels on Freewheeler?

[snyder3225]

Hi!
I was reading something someone had posted about the aluminum wheels needing to be checked periodically to make sure the lugs haven't loosened, and now I can't find the article/post (isn't that always the way?) Does anyone have any suggestions on a good torque wrench to use, and how tight the lugs should be? I have a 2024 Freewheeler (my first ever).
Thanks,
Nikky

When I remove a wheel I check torque at 50 miles and again at 100 miles. For regular maintenance every 1000 miles.

HD service had my wheels off for the install of some great DK Nexgens … they say check the lugs at 500 miles and torque to 100lbs.

I did check them after 50 miles (overachiever) and again at 500 without any changes needed. I agree that you should get a decent torque wrench.
